Earlier this year, it was announced that Red Bull Music Academy and Red Bull Radio were going to shut down October 31 of this year. That plan in unfortunately still in motion, but now RBMA has launched a website housing their complete archives, for free.

The archive contains over 500 RBMA lectures, as well as interviews, features, videos, and more. RBMA, which launched back in 1998, has hosted SOPHIE, Flying Lotus, Nina Kraviz, Objekt, and so many more. RBMA’s discontinuation coincided with the company parting ways with Yadastar, their marketing and consultancy partners. It was said that the “existing structure”of RBMA would be phased out as a result.
