Ahoy all you globalsound loving people out there!

This time we will have a special guest from the far east!
DJ Zhao is the Chinese ambassador of boom bringing heat from around the world, connecting ancestral rhythms with hyper-modern sound. Active since 2000, Zhao has organized critically acclaimed long running events in the US from Sound Art to Experimental Techno. After moving to Berlin, he started the Ngoma Soundsystem collective and organised series of Global Bass parties in Berlin. This has brought him to various festival and parties allover Europe and now to Amsterdam for the first time ever! Equal parts ethno-musicologist and booty shaker, Zhao brings unique perspective and vision to every occasion, and has played nights with artists such as Pan Sonic, Rhythm and Sound, Cooly G, Shackleton and others.

Check his sounds here and look for the awesome Ngoma mix!

Ahoi,

Deze Rebel Up! avond hebben we een speciale gast uit het verre oosten!
DJ Zhao is de Chinese ambassadeur van warme wereldse tonen en vermengt voorouderlijke ritmes met moderne electronica. Via China kwam hij terecht in Amerika, waar hij in 2000 begon met het maken van muziek. Een paar jaar geleden besloot hi naar Berlijn te verhuizen waar hij het Ngoma Soundsystem kollektief oprichtte en ook een reeks Global Bass feesten in Berlijn. Dit bracht hem snel naar diverse festivals en feesten verspreid over heel Europa. Zhao’s stijl is de balans tussen een ethno-musicologist en booty shaker en zo heeft hij het podium al mogen delen met artiesten als Pan Sonic, Shackleton, Rhythm & Sound en Orchestre Poly-Ritmo de Cotonou.

Check zijn muziek en mixen hier, vooral de geweldige Ngoma mixen op zijn blog!

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.
