Posted on Apr 12, 2010 | 0 comments

hey all,

From this night on Rebel Up! will be hitting the Brussels global scene almost every 2 months with a Soundclash night at Bar Recyclart, the cafe part of the special Recyclart venue in the centre of Brussels. More parties & special nights to be expected!

The Rebel Up crew & friends will play their newest, oldest and most kitsch global sounds in a tasty mishmash with all spices and flavours. From the most crunchy cumbia to Carribean powersoca, Brazilian carimba, Greek rembetika, Siamese soul, Arabic dabke, African soukous funk, Balkan disco, dub, roots and whatnot. We’re starting up at 21:00 and taking to 01:00, hopefully we can stretch it a bit longer if a lot of you happy people can’t stop dancing.

entry is FREE, GRATUIT, GRATIS, GRATOS, SENPAGA!
Since this night is for free and non-profit, we would like to raise money & awareness for special charity organisation. This time we have selected the organisation Chakana, a NGO who provides support to Indians in the barren highlands of the Andes. Their main projects are focussed on building greenhouses, teaching ecological agriculture and providing education for children. We will put a donation pot on our playing table and hope you can drop a nice donation, whatever you can spare.

It’s december and almost the end of this lovely crisis year. Well, not for Rebel Up! and 2009 has been an excellent year for us with almost every time a nicely filled OCCII. Time for another special Rebel Up! party! We have teamed up with the good folks of A’dam global bass crew
Bomb Diggy and made tasty global lineup for ya!

Tonight’s special guest is Timeblind, aka Chris Sattinger from the States, who travels on many musical roads such as dancehall, jungle, hip-hop, proto-dubstep,global dub and tropical tunes. He has been part of the New York illbient scene in the early 00′s,trotted around India for a while and is currently living & working in Berlin, the hotspot for experimental music. His set will be a combination of a live PA set with a dj set in heavy global and tropical spheres! Do check out his site or myspace for sounds & mixes.

We will also be joined by mystery man Sonido del Principe, honcho of the excellent Generation Bass blog. Expect some chewed up cumbia, mashed up with some serious bass and latino & caribbean sounds. It will be impossible not to shake

Hiya,

Friday 27th of november VJ M and SebCat will be playing at an Indian fundraiser night, organisised by the good folks of Party 4 Peace. The night is in aid of Belgian organisation Telluris, which we know and support by heart. VJ M will show his Telluris documentary about the Munda tribe and projects. See here a version of it:

VJ M & SebCat will be doing their Rajasthani live cinema set, a live musical-cinematic experience in which images of the big camel fair in Pushkar, Rajasthan will be mixed with sound recordings. In 2007 we made a trip to India and stayed 2 months in Rajasthan where we composed a roadmovie;  a story without words, but with vivid Rajasthani music and colourfull images as a narrative for an intimate experience.  Here a short version of it:

After this SebCat will play a dance set with his own Rajasthani recordings and some special, bizarre and modern folkpop from allover India. Because there is more to musical India than Bollywood & Raga’s!

and more performances too:

*DJ Arne van Funk-A-Flex
*Namasté (psychedelische mantra band from Eindhoven)
*Tula Yoga door Jaap Bresser
*Indian food provided by restaurant Maharaja

The night will start @ 20:00 and goes on till 2:00. Entry is free, though a nice donation is ofcourse much appreciated.
Villa Lila, In de Betouwstraat 9, very close to the station
