Chief Boima & Non-Western Shoot out

Posted on October 11, 2012 by Rebel Up

This friday night 26th @ Theater Kikker in Utrecht, there´s a super awesome NON WESTERN UNDERGROUND CLUB NIGHT organised by Impakt Festival, where we will play a special contextual Rebel Up! DJ/VJ set.

The concept of this year´s Impakt festival is *No More Westerns*, roughly translated to the western influence outside the west (or ofcourse vice versa!) and this night will be all about the musical and visual side of this. Expect a night that’s action packed with currents of transglobal clubscenes. Here´s the flow > >

Non-Western Shoot out: The Musical > A Mexican stand off with DJ Lonely (Jonas Ohllson), Dubcovsky (Friso Wiersum) and Chief Boima (Boima Tucker): DJ battle with context.

Chief Boima > > solo set by Sierra Leonean-American musician, DJ, cultural activist, and writer currently based in New York who combines a diverse array of global styles from Coupe Decale, Cumbia, Kuduro to Champeta.

We´ll play last from 1:00 til 3:00, expect a musical travel from the 60´s to current times with styles such as psychedelic Indonesian pop, Thai rock, Turkish garage n dubstep, Iranian technopop, Indian filmy songs, Saharan autotune, African electronic styles such as Coupé Décalé, Shangaan electro and much much more..

Rebel Up!: Global Reggae & Bass Party Saturday May 22 @ Vechtclub, Utrecht

Posted on May 7, 2010 by Rebel Up

Yes mi brethren,

this evening is a tribute to the giant influence the little island of Jamaica has on the sonic landscape of our planet. From the legendary Skatalites to King Tubby’s dub effects to Sly & Robbie’s massive drum & bass sound, you cannot underestimate the importance of these pioneers in the global universe of groove.

On this night, the air will be filled with tropical flavours & big basses. Expect reggae-inspired music from all over the globe: Contemporary roots reggae & dancehall from Spain meets transglobal balkan dub, which together with some fresh african reggae riddims morphes into raggajungle topped with a little dubstep reggaesound. Bob Marley undoubtedly will be around, but the main focus will be on the non-jamaican productions.
So wake the town and tell the people to put on their dancing shoes, cause you do not wanna miss this edition of Rebel Up!

Djs on this special event will include Livewire, MC Count Ozzie, Kako Da Ne soundsystem, John Kayongo, Smartin and Salor Bassclap outta Spain.

Doors @ 22:00, the party will go on till the last bass fades…………

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

Posted on October 28, 2009 by Rebel Up

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 op het Berlijnse Eastblok Music label, dat zich 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; gratis/1 eurootje! (als vrijwillige bijdrage)

Open: 22:00 tot 04:00

Place: Vechtclub, Overvecht-Zuid;

Brailledreef 9 (naast winkelcentrum Overvecht)
