On Thursday 11^th June Red Bull Music Academy will be joining forces, once again, with Karen P's Broad Casting to bring you a night truly representative of The Academy. Celebrating the launch period for 2010 applications the night will see a unique collaboration between Stones Throw's James Pants and Latin soul legend Joe Bataan to be recorded live and exclusively for Red Bull Music Academy Radio.

Unbelievably this will mark Joe Bataan's first EVER UK performance and he was James Pants' No.1 choice when asked of his perfect collaboration

"Joe Bataan has got to be one the most on-point artists in the game, and someone I have a tremendous amount of respect for. Latin soul, salsa, disco, rap-o-clap-o, lowrider ballads, and funk with a career spanning forty years... How many people can pull that off!? I look forward to busting down some deadly cowbell for this show." James Pants, April 2009

Both men have been guest lecturers at Red Bull Music Academy before - Joe Bataan in Melbourne and James Pants in Barcelona 2008. As artists from different generations, genres and parts of the world, coming together to create unique music, their collaboration is what both Broad Casting and the Red Bull Music Academy are all about and is set to be an historic and memorable evening at London's Cargo.

In a late addition, the duo will be joined by the peerless Alice Russell on backing vocals.

Also appearing at the event will be Willie Isz, a collaborative project across two generations of Hip-Hop, made up of Khujo Goodie & Jneiro Jarel, in a Lex Records album launch. Whilst the Garden will feature Dante's Fried Chicken BBQ with Jamie Woon, Andreya Triana & GoldieLocks.
