Here’s the first collection of material out from this year (2012) Red Bull Music Academy participants! As usual it’s totally amazing! Urban Waves is a big fan of some of them like OM Unit, Anenon, Dorian Concept, Pazes, Mark Pritchard, ChaCha, Nightwave, Addison Groove and so many more yet to discover!
I’ll quote :
‘Various Assets - Not For Sale 2011’ is a collection of some of the music that was made during the Red Bull Music Academy during four autumn weeks in Madrid last year. The double CD contains 35 tracks composed, improvised and discovered by the 60 international participants and ten studio team members, who all got their fingers dirty on synths, Mellotrons, vibraphones, drum machines and anything else they could lay their hands on. Enjoy!
