To say that heading to Tokyo for the 2014 Red Bull Music Academy was inspiring would be an understatement.

With jam packed days with lectures from Floating Points & Jah Shaka, to getting our groove on with the likes of Wife & Goth-Trad, it will be forever etched into our memories. Until we head abroad once again to Paris in 2015.

Over the last 16 years Red Bull have hosted numerous series of music festivals and workshops in the largest cities around the world, including Tokyo, NYC, London, Madrid, and Cape Town. It’s a no brainer that the Academy will be hosted in Paris in 2015.

Perennially among the top tier in art, fashion, design, film and music, the French capital’s reputation as a cultural guardian is indisputable. The birthplace of the Ondes Martenot and the French touch, Paris has produced groundbreaking electronic musicians generation after generation – from Laurent Garnier to Daft Punk, Mr. Oizo and the Sound Pellegrino crew. Its reinvigorated clubbing scene has garnered attention as one of the most exciting, creative and colourful nightlife communities, and its cult venues and longstanding art institutions provide a firm nod to the city’s grand, far-reaching cultural history.
