Applications are now open for the Red Bull Music Academy 2011, which will head to Japan in autumn. To get things rolling, we're presenting a new exclusive mix from a former Academy participant every week from now until the end of the application period. This week, Dutch DJ/producer and one half of duo 360, Patrice Bäumel, brings an exceptional selection of off-kilter cuts that have informed his subtle, highly idiosyncratic take on house music: from vintage meditation music and drum solos, to electronic jazz classics and his own remix of Cyrus Shahrad's epic Sightless.
Producers, vocalists, DJs, and instrumentalists of all stripes are invited to apply for the Red Bull Music Academy in Tokyo, between February 2 and April 4, 2011. More info and the application form are available for download on http://www.redbullmusicacademy.com
