Concordia University's Communication and Journalism Program has launched an innovative course named 'Wheels of Steel,' aimed at teaching students the art and history of DJing. Led by Professor Owen Chapman, a self-taught DJ with a doctorate in Sample-Based Music Production, the course covers the evolution of DJing from the 1970s disco era through to contemporary digital technologies. Students engage in hands-on learning, tackling challenges such as beat matching and volume levels, while also exploring the mathematical aspects of music mixing. Assignments include live performances and detailed analyses of recordings, where students learn to break down elements like album titles and transitions. Student Safia Hidara aims to apply her newfound skills in creating soundscapes in art spaces, emphasizing the creative potential of sampling. This course not only enhances students' DJing abilities but also provides them with valuable skills for immediate application in the music industry.
