It’s a cheap stimulant widely available on the club scene that keeps you on the dancefloor all night long. But enough about Red Bull, and more about the feast of clubbing they’re helping to bring to Glasgow this week as part of their Music Academy Presents touring events series – from club nights to live shows, lectures, workshops, day parties and live radio broadcasts. If you’re up for even more on top of all that – of course you are, you just downed five cans of heavily caffeinated energy drink – then elsewhere there’s a consciousness expanding space time trip (or something) happening at The Art School on Friday. Read on.
Void x Schrödinger's Box – The Art School, Fri Mar 27
Local party planners The Void present the launch party for Schrödinger’s Box, a ‘futurist Glasgow-based record label exploring the unchartered territory of consciousness, dimensions and space-time’. No, we have no idea what any of that means either, but it should be a laugh. Showcasing their wares will be Cliff Lothar, Cute Heels, Andreas Gehm, Unit Trax and Void Militia.
Red Bull Music Academy Presents: Astral Black Featuring Danny Brown – SWG3, Sat Mar 28
One of the most influential rappers of recent times, Detroit’s Danny Brown has earned near universal critical acclaim and ridden high in end-of-year lists with his last two albums, 2011’s ‘XXX’ and 2013’s ‘Old’. With another album in the works, he headlines this Astral Black-curated RBMA blowout in the SWG3 warehouse, which also includes Mumdance & Riko Dan, Jon Phonics, DJ Milktray and Jaisu. In case you're interested, he's also heading up a discussion event earlier that day.
Red Bull Music Academy Presents: A Night With LuckyMe – The Glue Factory, Sun Mar 29
Lucky you, more like, as Jacques Greene, NAKED, Éclair Fifi and special guest Mykki Blanco head up a RBMA finale special at The Glue Factory, curated by the good people from LuckyMe. At the end of a long weekend of visiting talent from around the UK, US and beyond, it’s appropriately left to a leading local electronic music label and artist collective to close the party.
