Swept away by the acid house movement as a teen, Academy crew member and former lecturer Zinc rose to fame as a top DJ and producer from the advent of drum 'n' bass. It's a position he has yet to relinquish. A globetrotting selecta and renowned producer via his own Bingo label, he watched the DNB genre evolve from its house and old-school gene pool, grow through its ragga and hip hop-inflected phases, to the tangled web of styles its mutated into circa 2007. As part of Ganja Kru (Parousia), he rolls with like-minded renegades Rude Bwoy Monty, DJ Hype and Pascal. He also bangs it out in collaboration with Dope Skillz on Hype's True Playaz imprint. Ever the innovator, in 2004 Zinc dropped the Faster, a blazing LP which accelerated in bpms with every track. Now Zinc is on an Academy mission in the Middle East and will perform at Club Basement in Beirut the night before his Academy workshop session.

Wonderful Academy team member Marco Passarani has played a pivotal role in the Italian techno scene since the early '90s, DJing, promoting and running his Finalfrontier distribution company.

Raiders of the Lost ARP, Jolly Music, Pigna People and Mat101 are just some of their monikers. Marco has been involved in the Red Bull Music Academy as a instructor and tutor and finally hit the interview couch for the Barcelona edition in 2008. Marco is more than competent to give you an insight into Academy life and has more than 15 years of experience in the music industry. Warm-up party starts at 3pm with Marco on the decks.

Check the pulsing hum of simply sick beats, the blissed-out soundtracks of outerspace computer vistas and a cartoonist's sense of colour, and you can see why everyone wants his tracks, from Stones Throw, Plug Research and Jazzy Sport, to Adult Swim and Cartoon Network.

The Beach Party is back for its fourth year at Water Taxi Beach in Long Island City. What initially started as a low-key, Saturday night hang at the sandy East River outpost has turned into one of the biggest parties New York has to offer. But while luminaries of dance music like former Red Bull Music Academy lecturer Prins Thomas and Grandmaster Flash have performed, and while the residents are New York all-stars DJ Probus, Justin Carter and Eamon Harkin, the party still maintains a casual spirit and remains a great vibe. Big or small, there's nothing like sipping a beer, having a hamburger and checking out the amazing view of the skyline in between dancing to great music. Check out Academy lecturer and one of the finest music exports out of Detroit, Carl Craig, tonight alongside the Beach Party resident DJs.
