hey folks,
we got a new mixtape out for the upcoming festival season;
Beats from the global south by Rebel Up! on Mixcloud
This new mixtape focusses on lesser known global electronic dance music and folk pop styles from around the world. A celebration of the creativity and originality in global music production; the result of the clash between local and global forces, between tradition and modernity. A feast of surprises, of dynamic musical undercurrents and the ever shifting, hybrid nature of cultural identities. More than a regular dj-mix, this mix is meant as a sample of the music that we want to promote and its extreme eclecticism. It’s our mission to give a loud voice to the sounds of the global underground, of the disadvantaged and despised, the proud and furious. In short, the voice and music of the people. Hopping from region to region, from style to style, you’ll hear cumbia, dembow, tecno melody, persian bass, choubi, guesba chaoui, mahragan, dancehall, pandza, shangaan disco, kologo, coupé décalé, angolan house, balani, bouyon gwada and digital funana. Also up for download, see in comment field on mixcloud.
ahoy folks!
Another Rebel Up! Soundclash night coming up with a sweet line up of afrolicious guests.
East London musician A.J.Holmes is the founding member & singer of The Hackney Empire band, who play a marriage of afro-pop and soukous paired with traditional pop sensibilities as a serious warm vibe. A.J. learned to play African *palm wine* guitar music from Folo Graff who played with Sierra Leonese legend S.E. Rogie (the king of palm wine guitar music) and from that moment on he got totally sucked into African music which also resulted into co-organising the succesfull Secousse club nights of tropical madness in London together with global electronic duo Radioclit (M.I.A., The Very Best, Amadou & Mariam). On this night he will play a solo palm wine guitar set as warmup, followed by a super special set with guitar & dj decks at the same time for a unique approach of his mixed African sound. We can only say; not to be missed! Listen to his mixtape & songs of what to expect.
dj Alex Figueira, born in Venezuala with Brazilian roots, has a BIG passion for vinyl; he is the co owner of the Vintage Voudou vinyl shop in A’dam, a grand collector of vintage African and Latin vinyls, runs the Music With Soul label and plays in the bands Fumaça Preta & Conjunto Papa Upa. This passionate spinning man will sure make you bounce & swing with his special delicious selections from the tropics. and oh, it’s his birthday party!!!
Support as ever by your interlocal Rebel Up! dj’swith all kinda fruity & spicy global dance tunes.
A night with vintage & latest dance tunes from Africa, Latin America & Carribean by Rebel Up! dj’s, A.J. Holmes & Alex Figueira!
