Due to problems with paperwork in relation to his travel from the United States, the Red Bull Music Academy lecture and DJ set with DJ Harvey at BLÅ is cancelled.

BUT: In an amazingly shoort amount of time we’ve got two solid replacements:

At 17.00 Jonathan Galkin of DFA Records, the label known for LCD Soundsystem, Hot Chip and The Rapture, will hold a Red Bull Music Academy Lecture. He will be interviewed about running a label, music in New York City and LCD Soundsystem, at BLÅ.

As a replacement for Harvey’s DJ-set this the evening Prins Thomas has invited Idjut Boys from London. Legends on the international disco scene on level with DJ Harvey.

(The lecture is free and open to everyone)
