Teaching babies to DJ is a real thing in Brooklyn

The class is taught by Natalie Elizabeth Weiss, a DJ who’s worked with acts like LCD Soundsystem, Das Racist, and the especially baby-friendly Butthole Surfers. It focuses on teaching “little ones” how to play and handle records, mix and match beats, and create samples on their very own DJ equipment. While all this might seem a little dubious—because, you know, motor skills—Weiss insists that “through singing, movement, and interactive technology,” children can delve into “an exciting new musical landscape” that substitutes “a song about back beats” for “a song about black sheep.”

The class costs $200, but surely that’s a small price for parents to pay to be able to complain that Skrillex ain’t shit, because, hey, their baby could do that.
