About the Instructor:
CRRDR is the musical alias of Colombian producer and DJ Francisco Corredor, a multidisciplinary artist known for pushing the boundaries of electronic and club music by blending Latin rhythms with high-energy global dance styles.
His work has become synonymous with Latin Core, a genre he helped define that fuses fast-paced electronic beats with traditional Latin influences, creating sounds that are raw, club-ready, and culturally grounded.
Originally from Bucaramanga and later active in Bogotá’s underground scene, CRRDR has gained international recognition for his inventive approach to production, sound design and remix culture — earning features in respected outlets and stages around the world, including Mixmag and major festival lineups.
Beyond his music, he is a founder and driving force behind collectives and labels such as Traaampaaa and Muakk, platforms focused on uplifting experimental club music and giving visibility to underrepresented artists across Latin America.

CANS is a program where students analyze the cultural significance of spray-paint-based art while learning fundamentals in lettering, design, composition, and spray technique. Classes include an exploration of both historical lettering/styles and how they influence modern interpretations around the Portland area. Throughout the program students will gradually develop their ability to produce stylized letters while exploring technical elements in paint/nozzle choice, color blending, layering, dimension/shadows, and more. In other words, we talk about what makes good graffiti dope and learn how to do it.
A four-week, hands-on introduction to being a DJ. Students explore the hardware (Pioneer digital controller), software (Serato), basic concepts (taught by a Portland-based DJ) and get their first live gig. For the month, participants will be able to take their own digital controller home with them to practice concepts taught in the course. At the end of the series of workshops, members will have access to all of the equipment, including a full PA system that allows them to host their own parties or book their own gigs. Participants will also be invited to participate in live events with their instructor.
