Here’s a quick update for those of you curious about where Red Bull Music Academy has moved its 2011 workshops since announcing they’ll no longer take place in Tokyo. The new location will be in Madrid, Spain (insert bull-related joke here), where classes are still scheduled to take place between October 23 and November 25. If you’re interested in joining in on the fun, applicants have until April 26 to submit their paperwork.

A couple months back, Detroit’s prestigious electronic music festival, the annual Movement, announced its first wave of performers, which included the likes of Green Velvet, Soul Clap, Scuba, Marcel Dettmann, and many others. Now, 55 more performers have been confirmed for the massive dance music celebration. Among the new names scheduled to perform are Monolake, Mike Brown, Space Dimension Controller, Marc Houle, Flying Lotus (pictured above), Venetian Snares, Justin Martin, Daedelus, and Deniz Kurtel, among many more. You can check out the full lineup for Movement, which goes down between May 28 and 30, here, and buy tickets for the festival here.

NYC-based photographer Josh McNey, who has shot countless photos for XLR8R, including last year’s Night Slugs feature, and this issue’s piece on ballroom house, will unveil his latest show, Protect From Light, at Casa de Costa, a new studio/arts salon in New York, on April 29. McNey’s non-musical work examines a number of facets of the American landscape, its people, and its quieter moments in between. Still-lifes, documents of college wrestling matches, and portraits of rodeo cowboys all make appearances in McNey’s greater explorations of nature and masculinity.

Of his solo show, McNey says, “Being afraid of my sexuality made me afraid to stare. I didn’t want to be ‘caught’ looking at guys. I think this teenage strategy of visual chastity made it all the more urgent that I find a way to legitimize staring. Photography became for me both an apparatus and a metaphor for coming out as a gay man. Showing the work is one more step in that direction.”

New Jersey’s resident crafter of lush dance-pop hybrids has announced that he is set to follow up his excellent debut LP, Seek Magic, with a new full-length this July via Carpark. Dayve Hawk (a.k.a. Memory Tapes) has once again utilized his New Jersey home studio to produce the tracks that will make up the forthcoming LP, Player Piano, apparently not using any sequencing software in favor of playing all the instruments himself. Not one to be pigeonholed, Hawk has produced a whole new variety of tracks for the forthcoming album, trading in the modern beats and disco sensibilities of his earlier productions for a record that is said to sound like “keyboard-based psychedelic girl group songs, a sort of Motown suicide note.” The only indication we have of this sound so far is in the form of his previously released track, “Today Is Our Life,” which appeared on Something In Construction‘s Love SIC Disco compilation earlier this year and will also be featured on the upcoming record. No tracklist or artwork available yet but we’re sure there will be more news coming down the pipeline as we approach Player Piano‘s July 5 release date. You’ll find a new video for “Today Is Our Life” below.
