Taking their lead from the British industrial scene of the mid-’70s, the Brussels-based group – which has included seven members over the years – set out on a path of exploration and innovation that has continued to the present day. Best known as the forefathers of Electronic Body Music, Front 242 signed to the Wax Trax! label and toured America in the ’80s, making a profound influence on younger generations of electronic musicians and even reaching 13 on the Billboard dance charts in 1988 with “Headhunter.” The Red Bull Music Academy is a global music institution committed to fostering creativity in music. We celebrate music, its culture, and the transformative minds behind it. Begun in 1998, the Academy has taken the core principles that underlie its annual workshop for selected participants and applied this curatorial approach to events, lectures, and city-wide festivals throughout the year. ► Visit Red Bull TV: http://win.gs/1uy4YFF ► Subscribe to our YouTube Channel: http://bit.ly/10OyDHc ► Visit our official website: http://win.gs/avjLrK ► Our latest videos on YouTube: http://bit.ly/12nkX7h ► Follow us on Twitter: http://bit.ly/Lx4wQy ► Like us on Facebook: http://on.fb.me/12N5Ch0
