RBMA

A little something about the RBMA...

Taking place in a different city every year, the Academy works as follows: applicants must prepare a demo CD of their work, be it original productions, songs, DJ sets and whatnot, along with completing an application questionnaire, and mail it to central Red Bull offices in Cologne, Germany. From there, each application is taken in consideration, with no quota on country or musical genre. From these applicantions, 60 are selected and broken down into two groups of 30, which are then flown in to the location of the respective year's event. For 2 weeks, the participants get to work in the studios at the academy, equipped with the latest gear for music production and performance. Furthermore, they are tutored by the academy's "Studio Team", all experienced music producers in various fields, and take part in lectures executed by guest speakers which range from sound engineers to rappers.

Here's a gold mine that consumes your life in the best way possible...

This one was thrown together last Saturday evening... lots of different stuff - some deep and dubby techno from Detroit and Berlin, some pitched-down dubstep, and some other goodies thrown in there for good measure. I mixed half of this with vinyl and the other half with Serato. Play this one during those late nights...

You may need surgery...

Here it is: Surgeon's epic new mix that's been doing the rounds. Recorded just recently in February of this year at Wire, a small basement club in Leeds, this set clocks in at just over two hours. Ever since I discovered him, Surgeon has been one of my favorite DJ's. He doesn't care to follow any trends or jump on any bandwagons. Instead, he's been sticking to his guns for years, dishing out bass-heavy tunes to eager clubbers around the world. Amazing music. Brutal, cold-blooded deepness that weaves through genres effortlessly. Don't miss this!
