Setting up shop in Paris, RBMA will inaugurate its 16th session in 2015. Details have not emerged as to when the academy will start in 2015, but Red Bull will begin accepting applications in January, via "XLR8R." The academy is a 30-day gauntlet of lectures, workshops, events and other RBMA activities, all while having access to some of the best studio space in the world, where artists can collaborate and hone their craft under the guidance and supervision of incredibly talented and innovative artists. Paris was chosen, according to the RBMA statement, because of "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." The city has also fostered some of the most unique electronic music producers like Daft Punk, Justice, Mr. Oizo, Gessafelstein and others.
