A New film has been released documenting New Yorks music and art scene between 1977 - 85. Deborah Harry narrates the doc which touches on The Paradise Garage club and the emergence of Hip Hop to name but a few.

Guest appearances form Arthur Baker, Jazzy Jay and Mos Def dissect the creative things happening at this time against the back drop of all the problems NYC had.

The trailer looks amazing and I can’t wait to see the whole film….

Red bull have been running their academy now for well over a decade and as far I’m aware it’s completely unique in its vision and delivery. The content on their site is staggering and in my humble opinion un surpassed.

Last month saw the academy touch down in London and the guest speaker list was incredible. Those that were lucky to be in the audience were treated to lectures by some true legends and new artists breaking through

The cool thing about the red bull music academy is that although its sponsored by a multi national drinks company its still retains the true ethos of underground electronic music in all its forms and delves deep into the minds of the artists and in this day in age that is a rare thing.

If you want to be part of next years academy in fall 2011, applications open early next year. Details, exact dates and event location will be announced soon - keep an eye on their blog, Twitter and Facebook!

We’ve posted a few of their lectures here before and here are a few more video lectures that are essential viewing
