Schedule
DAY 1: ARRIVAL DAY
We settle into our idyllic Ibiza surroundings with some poolside vibes, welcome drinks, a delicious BBQ and open decks for anyone to jump on and get some early practise in before the learning programme begins.
Check into your accommodation anytime from 3pm and get to know the Orbit Team, retreat mentors and the other Orbit attendees.
Plus an introduction to the 5 day learning program from Orbit co-founder Doorly.
DAY 2: EVALUATIONS DAY
The aim of our first full day of the retreat is to evaluate your current level, asses the areas where you want to improve and then tailor the learning experience to fit your needs during the coming days. You will spend an intensive DJ technique session with one of our DJ mentors and will have an intimate 2 hour workshop with your chosen production mentor. You will also spend time with our marketing, branding and industry experts to audit your current profile and will be asked to set some S.M.A.R.T goals for your time at the retreat.
DAY 3: TECHNICAL TRAINING
After our initial assesment day you will be placed into groups of two which will remain your pairing for the rest of the retreat. Your pairing will be based on your current level and your preferred production software. After a healthy breakfast has been digested, you are your new collaboration partner will begin your rotation of intensive workshops with our Orbit mentors. After lunch we begin the second half of the day with an industry insights talk with one of our special guest mentors followed by jumping back into your pairs and continuing your rotation round the DJ technique, production and personal development workshops. We end the day with a voluntary guided meditation and breath work class to calm our minds.
DAY 4: ADVANCED TRAINING
We start the day with an energising yoga sessions, the perfect way to begin an intensive advanced training day. Picking right back up from where we left it the day before, we dive right back into our learning workshops. We delve deeper into more advanced DJ techniques with pioneer equipment experts taking you through all the latest hardware, we start to further develop our understanding of the production lessons from our chosen software and we start to have a better understanding of the direction in which we want to take our artist profile when we return back to the real world. We'll also start to put together tracks, samples and original edits ready for our live performance on the final day. As with the previous day, we'll be joined by an industry leading expert for a sofa talk after lunch and will end the day with more mindfulness and personal development.
DAY 5: PERFORMANCE DAY
We again start the day with a Yoga session for anyone to drop into, followed by getting straight into a full back to back day of live DJ sets. Your technical DJ skills have been elevated, you've shared music with mentors and other retreat attendees, you have new samples and acapellas added to your toolkit and you may have even produced a new track or edit to test out. You're ready to go! The final full day at the retreat is a celebration of everything you have learned and all the connections you have made and once the pressure is off from your live performance, you can either dive straight back into further learning with our mentors, or un wide by the pool with a pina colada. We end the final night with a big party at a location TBA.
DAY 6: DEPARTURE DAY
Feeling empowered by the knowledge that's been gained and the friends that have been made, we say our goodbyes, pack up our equipment and check out of our rooms at 11am.
But the Orbit experience is not over, we'll continue to remain in touch with you after the retreat is over as we start to deliver your new content including press shots, logo and brand designs, new bio's and your recorded mix, all ready to take to you to the next place in your journey...
ENHANCED LEARNING
Over the course of the retreat attendees will be set homework and tasks each evening to enhance their learning experience and work as tools during each day of the course. Each day an activity has been carefully devised to optimise the experience for everyone involved.
We will also include talks on protecting your mental health in the music industry, Starting your own club nights & record labels, group exercises, mindfulness and group Q&A sessions with our headline guest mentors.
This all sounds like a lot of learning, we know! But don’t worry, everything about our retreat is designed to leave you feeling rested, inspired and motivated, from the food to the additional activities such as yoga, mindfulness and some quality downtime together as a group. You’ve worked hard to treat yourself to this trip so we want this to be as much of a holiday for you as just an educational activity. And above all you will make new connections on this retreat that will become friendships and business relationships alike to last the rest of your life.
Previous students have signed to our mentors record labels, been booked for shows globally, taken on by our team for management or introduced to major labels with their tracks. If you have what it takes, we will help you get there faster, if you haven't yet, then we are here to teach you, by superstar international headline DJs who have been exactly where you are at some point in their career.

Testimonials
Matt Hobin "Hobbs" DJ & Producer (UK)
Doorly single handedly raised my performance levels to a new height, explaining everything in a clear and precise way. On top of working with one of the most sought after DJ/Producers in the world he is also one of the nicest people I’ve ever met. I will be booking with him again to continue improving my skills. Since being taught by Doorly I’ve since gone on to join the Reptile Dysfunction family as an artist, with my release played by Marco Carolla and Jamie Jones, and I’m also employed as part of the label management team.
Samuel Roukin “Roukin” Actor, DJ & Producer (UK)
DOORLY really understood my sound, showed me how to do everything with more ease, flair and confidence and gave me a whole bag of new tricks to boot. He is the most technically brilliant DJs I have met and is a wizard at passing that knowledge on. On top of this, he has the knowledge to see you where you are in your career and thne take that to a level you didn’t know was possible. I simply wouldn’t be the DJ and Producer I am right now without his mentorship.
Danny Taylor (Tan-Dem)
From the moment I mentioned the Tan-Dem project Doorly was on board mentoring me every step of the way. Under his stewardship I've played on the same bills as some of the greatest our scene has to offer, MK, Claude Von Stroke, Annie Mac, to name a few, and our styles seemed to compliment eachother in such a way that collaboration was inevitable. It was slightly less than a year from the date of our first release that I was playing Ministry of Sound with three of our tracks in my set having been released on labels as prestigious as Dirty Bird, Cross Town Rebels and of course our home...Reptile Dysfunction
Griff
I first met Doorly at a secret villa after-party where he only had one USB and the decks were not linked so he asked me to play b2b with him. This was a dream come true for me and we've been mates ever since! The next time we met I was playing my first ever set at Cafe Mambo and he came and asked me what song I was playing and told me he liked my style. After that I started making music for him and his label Reptile Dysfunction, I also ended up playing back to back with him at Cafe Mambo. My first release on his label was called ‘Pawn The Monkey’ which was part of his Young UN's EP. This was then followed up with a remix of "Idris Elba” and “Back Talk, Paradise" before I released my first solo EP on vinyl which sold out almost immediately. Through Doorly’s help and guidance I've managed to release my music to the world and also DJ in unbelievable places like the legendary Pikes Ibiza.
Nicola Bear
I wouldn’t be who I am and where I am today if it wasn’t for Doorly believing in me and pushing and encouraging me to be a DJ. Whilst learning to beat match he was the one who said “one day it will just click” and it did, luckily enough after many hours! Through many all nighters collecting music together, (I am still taking credit for the Dizzee remix btw) he crafted my approach to playing and reading crowds and inspired me to be versatile in my sets and open to all music. His many years of experience, technical ability and the fact he is an all round good human makes him one of the best.

Nik Wilson - Booker & Promoter (UK / LA)
I’ve been booking Doorly over the past decade at leading nightclubs both in the UK and in the US. He’s renowned for being a technically gifted, versatile DJ, hence being in the rare position of being one of Pioneer’s “go to” guys whenever they’re testing and developing new equipment. He has a very caring nature, he thrives on helping and sharing his knowledge with others, be it aspiring young DJs or friends in the industry. He’s constantly approaching me with new emerging talent he feels should be on my radar to book at venues and he always keeps an eye out for business opportunities that would be beneficial to me. Working with Doorly is having someone who always has your back. He’s the perfect person to be tutoring and mentoring DJs at every level, from fledgling bedroom DJs, to those looking to break through to the next stage in their career.
Isiana I.D
Doorly is an inspiration in djing and production, it was such an honour to learn from a real legend in the industry. I couldn’t recommend Doorly enough, working with him has not only helped me to progress skills but he also opened the door for me in Ibiza. I will be going back to the island to work with Doorly again later in the year. He is a legend, a super talented DJ and producer who has remained humble, always positive and a great person to work with.
Josh Newsham
One of the nicest and grounded people I’ve met and considering the stature (and the busy schedule) he has, Doorly always finds time to reply to my messages and guide me in the right direction for the very best of help.
Ryan Taft
What a guy Doorly is, I’m proud to have him as a mentor and would recommend him to anyone who wants to not only learn about DJing and production, but everything about the music industry.
Jay Newman
The best person! More Doorly's need to live amongst us on this planet 🌍 guided and helped me through my career 100% recommended.
Jake Roomstar
The best person! More Doorly's need to live amongst us on this planet 🌍 He has guided and helped me throughout my career Jay Newman Meeting Doorly via Danny Savage / DJ Growth Lab in the UK meant that I was finally able to work with a real professional who could assess my ability and identify what I had the potential to do after years of trying by myself.
DJ ! Mark
It's not just Doorly's in-depth knowledge that is a differentiator, it's the way that he engages with you across all subjects. This aides in making the whole process as efficient and effective as possible.
MADDECKS (Workshop Attendee 2018)
Doorly is a genius when it comes to coaching and mentoring. He extremely knowledgeable and easily adapts to your needs. He is very patient and always takes time to explain things properly. I can't wait to get more coaching with him at one of the Orbit retreats soon.
FAQ
Does my experience or technical knowledge effect whether I can attend or not?
One of our co-founders Doorly answered this question for us and here's what he said –
”I started my career in a bar collecting glasses, I absolutely loved music and was collecting records at home and one week the opportunity finally came up when the regular dj never showed up and I bravely stepped in to cover having never played to a venue or people before. I managed to get the gig on a regular basis and was soon playing 6 / 8 /10 /12 hour shifts and pushing myself and teaching myself all the time. I wish i had someone to show me the ropes then that would have fast tracked my learning and help me avoid some big mistakes along the road of djing 20 years later Im now a global ambassador for Pioneer but still learning constantly and looking at my peers and industry leaders for inspiration and new challenges. There’s no level that is too basic or too advanced to join us."
