Foundations
The real question
How do some producers reach pro level in under a year,
while others stall for a decade?
It's not a musical background. It's not expensive gear. And it's definitely not 10,000 hours of practice. Actually, it's the complete opposite.
As a new producer, you picture progress as a straight line. Watch more tutorials, buy more plugins, put in more hours, and it all adds up neatly over time.
In reality it looks nothing like that. You get a little momentum early, a few tutorials, a new sample pack, and then you plateau. Hard.
That plateau isn't a talent problem. It's because you're collecting information without ever turning it into knowledge you can actually use on the next track, and nobody ever listens to your music and tells you what's holding it back.
The fix is conscious learning: take action, hit a wall, get told exactly what's wrong, learn what you need to break through it, then repeat.
Do that on a loop and your curve stops being a flat line. Each breakthrough stacks on the last. You start working smarter, not harder, and the gap between you and the artists you look up to closes fast.
Most producers never find education built this way, so they end up back on YouTube, piecing it together, taking the slow road. DNB Foundations gives you the structured path, and a room of working artists who hear your tracks every single week.
From the original drum & bass academy
Why this works
when tutorials don't.
Drum & bass isn't techno or house at 174. The drums, the bass, the mixdown and the energy all work differently, and generic production courses never teach that. As the first academy built only for drum & bass, we've taught 5,000+ producers and know exactly where people stall. Foundations removes those roadblocks in the order you hit them.
Beginner to advanced, in order
A deliberate path from your first sound to a finished, signed-ready release, with no random tutorials and no gaps.
Real feedback, every week
Bring your track to the live session and hear exactly what's holding it back, and how to fix it, from working artists.
Taught in every major DAW
The full program is taught in FL Studio, Logic Pro and Ableton Live, so you follow along in the software you already use.
Pro workflows, nothing held back
With Lifetime, the Vault adds 26 artist courses where working DNB producers walk through exactly how they make their tracks, step by step. Plenty to take even an experienced producer further.

The curriculum
Everything you need,
nothing you don't.
300+ lessons across six core modules, structured so each skill builds on the last.
Fundamentals
Get fully comfortable in FL Studio, Logic Pro or Ableton Live: samples, instruments, plugins, mixer and arrangement view, plus the music theory that underpins everything, so the software never slows you down.
Sound Design
Go from zero synthesis knowledge to dominating any synth. A deep dive into Serum, building a track from scratch using only sound design, so you stop relying on presets and packs.
Composition & Arrangement
The language of music: structure and arrangement, drum programming and bass programming. The practical songwriting skills that create groove and turn a loop into a song.
Mixing & Mastering
Every foundational mixing tool already sitting in your DAW, and how to use it to get crystal-clear, industry-standard, label-ready mixes.
Start-to-Finish Courses
Watch 10+ full DNB tracks built end to end across multiple styles, with all project files and resources included. DAW-agnostic, so you can follow along in any software.
Artist Development
Think, work and manage yourself like an artist, plus how to professionally approach labels and increase your chances of getting signed.

Weekly live sessions
Your track, on our speakers,
every week.
Learning alone is where most producers stall. Once a week we go live in Discord, load up members' tracks, tell you exactly what is holding the sound back, then show you how to fix it. On Lifetime, that's every week for as long as we run them.
Weekly feedback stream
We listen to your music live, break down what is working, and give you the specific moves that lift it to release standard.
Private Q&A channel
A Discord channel for this program only. Stuck on a lesson at 1am? Ask there and get an answer, from us and from producers on the same path.
Unlimited community support
5,300+ producers inside, and the questions you are about to ask have already been answered by someone a few months ahead of you.
Runs live in the DNB Academy Discord. Included on both plans: for life on Lifetime, month to month on Monthly.
The community
You’re not doing
this alone.
Every member gets into the DNB Academy Discord: 5,300+ drum & bass producers, plus private channels for Foundations members only. It’s where the accountability, the feedback between sessions and the connections happen.
Accountability that sticks
Post your progress and your tracks, and have people waiting to hear the next one. The producers who finish music are the ones with someone expecting it.
Feedback any day of the week
Don’t wait for the live session. Drop a track in the feedback channels and get notes from producers a step ahead of you.
Your network in the scene
Meet producers at your level, find collaborators, swap sounds and grow alongside people who’ll still be making music with you years from now.
Private members’ channels
Foundations-only channels for questions on the program, answered by us and by members on the same path. Included on both plans.
Choose your plan
Pay once and keep it,
or go month to month.
