About
Hello!
I have been teaching DJing and Music Production with Ableton for over 5 years. I have hundreds of successful students all over the world. I have been a professional DJ for almost 20 years now, and I continue to DJ all over the world. I have held residencies in LA's biggest clubs, played clubs in Vegas, performed at festivals such as Burning Man, and play private parties all over the world. I know how to mix any type of genre on any controller you might have. I am looking forward to hearing from you.
Teaching Style
It is amazing how much you can learn online! I have students who started from scratch with me and now are playing clubs and have started their own DJ-ing business playing private events.
I teach over Zoom, and I have a cheat sheet I will send you after our first lesson. I also am happy to answer any questions via text between lessons.
Credentials & Affiliations
COLOR.LOVE (LA & Ibiza-based DJ and producer, Gina Middleton) is a force of nature, a whirlwind of artistic expression who blends the roles of DJ, producer, and live performance artist.
Her early musical influences have been shaped by icons like Madonna & Daft Punk as well as breakbeat pioneers like Stanton Warriors and the Freestylers. Later, her love for house music blossomed during her move to California, where she found herself in the electronic music scene of Los Angeles.
Her journey began at the age of Eighteen when she purchased her first set of turntables. Six years later, she decided to make music her full-time job and soon began her studies of music production and sound design at Point Blank in LA. This kickstarted her production career which resulted with releases on Desert Hearts, Dirtybird, Glasgow Underground, Space Yacht, Spira, Strangelove, among others. Driven by a desire to create a more immersive experience, during COVID, she developed her live show which incorporates a Roland TR8 drum machine, an RC505 Looper, a TD303, and a vocal effects processor.
COLOR.LOVE has held residencies at LA's biggest nightclubs, including Exchange & Academy, where she shared the stage with renowned DJs like Benny Benassi, Nora En Pure, Don Diablo and more. She has graced the stages of major festivals like Burning Man, Desert Hearts, Love Machine and more with her unique brand of live electronic music. In May of 2023, she performed a live set of all-original music at Desert Hearts Festival at the LA Coliseum. She was invited back the following year to play live at their festival in Arizona.
Her track "Is This Love" on Glasgow Underground, which was released in March of 2023, has achieved nearly 100k plays on Spotify, solidifying her place as a rising star. Additionally, her most recent release from this same year on Desert Hearts Records was featured in their “Best of” compilation. Other recent releases include an EP on Huxley's Dumb Safari imprint with a remix from Daniel Orpi, and an EP on Desert Hearts records. Her latest release on Reelow's Reecords is currently gaining notable hype being played by Jamie Jones, Marco Carola and Golfos at the world's best clubs and parties including DC10, Pacha, Hi Ibiza, and more. She also has exciting releases on the horizon such as an EP on Music is 4 Lovers, and a release on Strangelove, along with multiple collaborative projects.
COLOR.LOVE performed an all original live set at the Reecords showcase at Amsterdam Dance Event 2024, and is currently touring Mexico playing shows until the 2025 season starts in Ibiza.
