MOOVMNT Presents: Red Bull Music Academy’s Most Valuable Assets (Mix) [DWNLD]

The idea of a Music Academy bringing the best from around the world and putting them into the same studio/work space for a week once a year astounds me. It's a fool proof plan destined to bring about greatness as you will see in this album featuring "Various Assets" from RBMA London 2010. Props to RBMA for making this a FREE DOWNLOAD!
