Rebel Up! goes Brussels on fri 22nd of jan.> Nightshop Climate Jockey party @ Recyclart

Hey all,

Happy new 2010!
and yes, after A’dam & Utrecht, we’re also gonna start focussing on Brussels in 2010, and what more may come from it in Belgium or beyond!

This night will moreless be the start of our bimonthly nights in Brussels (Sat. 16th of april will be our first Rebel Up! party @ Recyclart)

Perhaps slightly different than our not-so-average Rebel Up! nights, this Climate Jockey night will be very heavy on global bass spheres. As we are starting the night with first sounds, we’ll do our best to heat up the floor with some tropical, sensual, tickling tunes from allover the globe.

We’re really proud to again play with our friend Hugo Douster from Lyon, who played with us in Utrecht last year. He sure will butter & fire up the dancefloor with his special style of tropical-rootsical bass selections, electronic body music with a tropical virus! His good friend Baxter Beez will play a similar crash course in bassheavy styles from the tropics. Further into the night, locally famed Brussels partycrasher DJ Lowdjo will spin his eclectic selections from everywhere.

Zaterdag 7 november @ Vechtclub; Rebel Up! Soundclash *Polska Rootz* avond

Rebel Up Utrecht November 7

Rebel Up Utrecht November 7

Op Zaterdag en Zondag 7-8 november staat de Culturele Zondag in Utrecht volop in het teken van Niemandsland; het 20 jarige jubileum rondom de Val van de Berlijnse Muur. Het begint zaterdagavond al met een zeer ruim en gratis uitgaansprogramma door de hele stad om in goede Berlijnse sferen te raken. Natuurlijk doet de Vechtclub ook mee, dat door zijn speciale lokatie en doe-het-zelf mentaliteit toch zeker wel een verstopt stukje Berlijn is in Utrecht!

Op deze Rebel Up! Soundclash avond richten wij ons opĀ het Berlijnse Eastblok Music label, dat zichĀ specialiseert in nieuwe Oost Europese muziek uit lokale alternatieve scenes.

Het thema *Polska Rootz* is een doorsnee van de huidige roots-reggae muziek uit Polen zoals deze stijlvol door nieuwe artiesten vermengd wordt met Poolse volksmuziek, klezmer, drum’n’bass en elektronica. Onder de naam *Polska Rootz Soundsystem* zal DJ Zonic, alias labelbaas Alexander Pehlemann, optreden met een vernieuwende roots reggae set van pure Poolse makelij. Ook zal de in Amsterdam woonachtige Poolse dj Vega Selecta een set komen spelen in Poolse roots sferen zoals men nog niet zal kennen. De rest van de avond zal worden volgespeeld door de lokale Utrechtse kollektiefjes van Rebel Up! en Kako Da Ne die samen een eigenzinnige weg in geluid door Polen en de rest van Oost Europa zullen banen.

Zowiezo is de entree SUPERCHEAP deze avond;Ā  gratis/1 eurootje! (als vrijwillige bijdrage)

Open: 22:00 tot 04:00

Place: Vechtclub, Overvecht-Zuid;

Brailledreef 9 (naast winkelcentrum Overvecht)
