Saturday 27th of November: Rebel Up! Soundclash with Awesome Tapes From Africa & Process Rebel @ OCCII
Hey all,
As winter slowly approaches our northern hemisphere, Rebel Up! brings you a fresh harvest of all the warmest sounds our sonic biotope has to offer on either side of the equator.
This month’s edition will feature a special DJ set from Brooklyn’s Brian Shimkovitz a.k.a. Awesome Tapes From Africa. After researching the local hip-hop movement in Ghana he’s accumulated hundreds of cassette tapes of rare African music from Zimbabwe to Ethiopia to Senegal. He has been sharing his bounty through his immensely popular blog, and now on the road as a DJ. Expect a highly explosive and danceable trip to the amazing music cultures of an entire continent!
Also from the 
US is Process Rebel with his nextstep fusion of bass music that traverses the electronic music diaspora with a lean towards dub, dubstep, post-dancehall and global ghetto tech.
Our nomad Rebel Up! DJs and VJ will follow a varied audiovisual trail, trespassing the borders between musical genres by bringing together elements from the furthest terrestrial realms and digital corners into an ethnopsychedelic potpourri that is as rooted in tribal sensibilities as it is in the labyrinthine urban jungles of the information age.
Since we almost didn’t collect any money for the good cause last time, the charity for this edition will again be Stichting Mopti, an organization active in the poorest parts of rural Mali. With its gardening and horticulture projects for women, Mopti aims to support basic subsistence needs independent of market fluctuations and promote the self-organization of women. More info can be found on their website: http://www.mopti.eu/

Fri 16th April; Rebel Up! Soundclash @ Bar Recyclart, Brussels
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.
