The Red Bull Music Academy workshop will come to Bucharest on March 11, starting 18,00 hours, when participants will be able to meet Roman Flugel and Efdemin, assisted by Cosmin TRG, the first Romanian participant at Red Bull Music Academy. Minus and Vlad Caia, last year’s participants, will also be there to share their recent experience in London.

The workshop will take place at the Palace Cesianu Racovita, opposite the Central Library University of Bucharest. Red Bull Music Academy has toured the globe, stopping in cities like Barcelona, Cape Town, Toronto, Sao Paulo, London and Melbourne. In two long sessions every two weeks, some of the best generators of rhythm and sounds from around the world will gather at the Academy.

In 2011, from October 23 to November 25, the Academy will stop in Tokyo, with studio sessions and workshops.

Daniel Stanciu – a.k.a Minus (in picture),  a computer programmer from Bucharest, combines mountains of bass with hypnotic melodies and he has already released three EP’s on the Romanian net label Archiva 7. His style ranges from 8-bit and old school electro to dub, down tempo and ambient music with vague references to maths, fuzzy childhood memories and old video games.

Vlad Caia is a Scandinavian/Romanian, whose primary focus is on house music with what he describes as "deep bass that blows your lungs out". He has already released several tracks on labels such as Horizontal, DSOR, Next Dimension and Dirty Box and Vlad also plays with Bucharest-based Funknutt collective.
