This workshop features experienced DJ/Producer Paige Julia, who'll be taking you through the basics of bass and beats.

You'll find out how to tell the difference between the most popular genres such as house, techno, drum and bass, and a whole lot more. You'll get to listen to examples of different genres and test your newfound genre-spotting skills. Intriguing music history and facts will be thrown in the mix. You'll be given resources to delve more deeply into the world of bass music and get excited about what you find.

'Bass-ics' is a series of one-off workshops by The Sensonauts to help people learn about electronic music in a fun, supportive environment.

This will be a welcoming, relaxed and interactive session where no question is silly. If you feel you know nothing about electronic dance music whatsoever, or if you've got some knowledge but would like more, this workshop is for you.

Paige Julia creates and performs electronic music throughout New Zealand's vibrant festival and events scene. Her music is bass focused and influenced by breakbeat, UK dubstep and US West coast beats. She has developed and enacted educational programs for new DJ's and music producers, including small class introductory lessons and one-to-one tutoring for full-spectrum education on these topics. She is passionate about creating the potential for gender balance on future festival lineups and so a big percentage of her teaching is focused on people who identify as femme/women.

This workshop has run twice before in Wellington with awesome feedback and we're excited to share it with Christchurch music-lovers.
