In support of this year’s Academy, Dutch electronic producer Martyn (Brainfeeder/3024) and Toronto’s own celestial beat-maker, Egyptrixx (Night Slugs/Ramp Recordings), will be co-heading a national tour with Mutek. The tour highlights the academy to potential applicants through Red Bull Music Academy Session lectures, Q&A and concert series. Preceding each show is an intimate look at the Academy and its application process hosted by mymanhenri. Potential applicants in Vancouver, Calgary, Toronto and Montreal will get a taste of the Red Bull Music Academy, with an exclusive Red Bull Music Academy Session Lecture with Egyptrixx and Martyn.
The Canadian Red Bull Music Academy Alumni includes some of Canada’s front-runners in new music. The London 2010 edition had RnB, electronic artist ANGO (LuckyMe Records) and Hip Hop bass heavy producer Lunice (LuckyMe Records, Mad Decent) representing Canada along with Toronto’s Amenta and Ninjatune artist Poirier. Both Ango and Lunice were signed to UK imprint LuckyMe Records, following their involvement with Red Bull Music Academy. The Madrid 2011 edition saw three Canadians take part, including: Xavier Leon (one half of Sibian and Faun, whose track “Sorry” was recently tipped as one of Diplo’s favorites of 2011); Toronto’s EXETER, who’s bass heavy beats had him opening for the likes of SBTRKT and Araabmuzik in 2011; and Boogiehowser from Edmonton, AB, a fan of fusing ambient, hip hop and garage music, and a crowd favourite at the 2011 academy.
Red Bull Music academy is proud to enter new partnership with MUTEK: International Festival of Digital Creativity and Electronic Music, a relationship that beings with this cross-Canadian tour and culminates into a Red Bull Music Academy stage at the
MUTEK festival in Montreal May 30, 2012 – June 3, 2012. Six days after the tour wraps up in Calgary, on Tuesday, March 13th, MUTEK will reveal its first round of performers for the 13th edition.
