Red Bull Music Studio Roundup: An Introduction


Hey all, I’d like to introduce something fresh to the Headphone Junkie. This past year I’ve been working for the Red Bull Music Studios down in Cape Town, a space which has grown to be a kind of hub of local music creativity, admittedly because of its location, mainly in the Mother City (but as it grows hopefully that will change).

All sorts of music is getting made down here, alongside other projects such as the Red Bull Music Academy Taster and a variety of workshops. From Belville Rock to Afro-Dubstep to live DJ recordings, there is a wealth of amazing content coming out of the studio.

So to cut to the chase, I’m going to be updating this blog on the regular with just some of the mad magical music coming out of the studio. If you’d like to check out more content, then you’ll have to head over to the actual studio blog at www.redbullstudioza.com


To kicks things off I present one of our most popular recordings, that of Inge Beckman, ex singer of Lark and all round music siren. This track, Death By Ocean, is an amazing, haunting song that probably best reveals Inge’s talent.

On top of that I’d also like to introduce you all to, if you don’t know about it already, Red Bull Music Academy Radio. RBMA Radio is probably one of the illest online radio stations in the world right now. Live band recordings sit alongside DJ sets in a catalogue of some of the best music being made right now.

The Red Bull Music Academy Radio player is embeddable, much like Youtube videos, and so as an example of the types of shows you can listen to, I’ve embedded the player with a few shows below. You can listen straight off this page, but if you want to hear more you’ll have to head over to www.redbullmusicacademyradio.com
