zaterdag 19 september; Rebel Up! Soundclash @ Vechtclub, Utrecht *Argentina cumbia night* met DJ Pinchado (AR), Rebel Up! DJ’s & VJ’s, DJ Tommi & Tiki Klazien
*English version below*
Omdat de herfst stilaan nadert, organiseert Rebel Up! Soundclash een heuse tropische dansavond in Utrecht! Het warme karakter van het ecologisch geknutselde Vechtclub theater zal perfect passen voor de sfeer van deze avond.
DJ Pinchado (Julio Lozano) komt uit Buenos Aires en is geboren en getogen in de ruige havenwijk La Boca, de thuishaven van lokale voetbalclub Boca Juniors en ook geboorteplaats van de elegante Tango. Op deze avond niks van dat, maar wel vette cumbia. De sensuele cumbia is nu superpopulair in Zuid Amerika door een lichting van jonge artiesten die knutselen met deze oude volksstijl. In Argentinië specialiseren artiesten zich met experimentele geluiden, waaraan hiphop, dub en electronica wordt toegevoegd. Pinchado’s geluid hangt tussen dubby sferen en electronische kitsch in als een zeer dansbare cocktail! Verwacht een speciale live/dj set met de allernieuwste dansmuziek uit Buenos Aires. !QUE CALOR!
De internationale crew van Rebel Up! DJ’s & VJ’s zullen door de avond heen zorgen voor speelse tropische geluiden en visuele kunsten die naar Argentijnse en Zuid Amerikaanse sferen zullen knipogen. De Utregse global dj DJ Tommi (Fuerza/Balkan Beatz) zal de avond openen waarbij hij zijn cumbia hart zal laten bonzen met flinke danskrakers. Tiki Klazien zal volgen met een lekker speciale set van tiki cocktail sounds in tropicalia sferen.
Zoals altijd op onze avonden vinden wij het belangrijk om mensen globaal bewust te maken en het ondersteunen van ontwikkelingsprojecten. Er zal een donatie box staan voor Stichting Ombú, een Argentijns georienteerde organisatie die lokale Argentijnse organisaties helpt met het verbeteren van levensomstandigheden in de armste sloppenwijken. Meer info @ www.stichtingombu.nl
Verpreid het woord, nodig al je vrienden, collega’s en medestudenten uit en kom meefeesten!

DJ Pinchado (Julio Lozano) hails from Buenos Aires and is born and raised in the old harbour area of La Boca, home to local footie club Boca Juniors and birthplace of the elegant tango. None of that tango twisting tonight, but some seriously heavy cumbia! The sensual cumbia has become popular once again throughout all of South America and reason for this is a fresh wave of young artists who experiment with this old afro-influenced folk style. In Argentina a lot of artists have started creating experimental cumbia sounds, where dub, hiphop and electronica is added to this hefty stew. Pinchado’s special sound floats inbetween dubby spheres and electronic Boca beats as a very danceable cocktail! Excpect a live/dj set with the freshest dance music from Buenos Aires. !QUE CALOR!
The international Rebel Up! DJ & VJ crew (BE/FR/NL/AR) will add their crafty tropical sounds and colourful visuals to this South American adventure throughout the night. The night will be kicked off by local Utrecht spinner DJ Tommi (Fuerza/Balkan Beatz) who will let his cumbia heart beat for you and play some jumping tunes. Tiki Klazien will follow up with a tasty set of tiki cocktail sounds that take you into pure tropicalia spheres. yay yay!
On our nights, we always find it important to create global awareness and so we support development projects and charities. There will be a donation box for Stichting Ombú, a Dutch organisation forcussed on Argentina which helps local Argentinian organisations to improve conditions in the poorest shantytowns.

Come along, spread the message, invite all your friends, bring fellow students and more!

Saturday 30th of may, Rebel Up! Soundclash #24; with special guests Tupolev Sound Crash (BE) & Vega Selectah (PL)
Ah yeah, Rebel Up time again!
Do we actually ever sleep? hardly…
We’ll be joined by the eclectic Tupolev Sound Crash crew. TSC hail from the euro capital of Brussels and are our southern neighbours in sound. Back home in Belgium, they crash many a global party (such as the Couleur Cafe festival) to bring a heavy brew of mashed sounds, from global ghettotech to ethnological sounds, any way the wind takes their aircraft!
Also our faithfull Polish friend Vega Selectah will again select his finest audible crops of eartickling sounds and dubs. We’ll be sizzling and grinding!
Other fresh and dusty selections will come from our hands in the oiled Dutch-Franco-Belgo trinity combination that you are used to. Tonight’s VJ duties will be done by our Argentinian lady crew of Normal Con Alas. Expect the unexpected.
If you feel like bouncing to the shaking marimba of an electric witchdoctor while spicy curry beats and tasty accordeons please your body and ears, come out and play with us!
The charity of the night is Telluris India, a Belgian organisation that provides aid to the Munda tribes in the forest state of Jharkhand in Northern India. These tribes are part of the Adivasi caste and are the native inhabitants of this region. Their culture and way of life dates back to before the creation of Hinduism, 5000 years ago. Nature means all to these tribes; they have a natural religion and worship the nature around them.
By the hands of corrupted authorities that favour industrialisation, mining and lumberjacking, the Munda are on the verge to lose their land and culture forever. The forests have already been robbed of 70% of their original size. As a result, their land is plagued by erosion, droughts and the decline of flora, wildlife and trees!
The forest offers ecological diversity, life, medicinal quailities and protection from erosion and because the Munda are small time farmers and therefore need the forest in order to survive. Telluris helps the tribes with planting of new crops and medicinal plants, the digging of water wells, spreading knowledge about organic farming and other projects linked to their direct environment. The tribes can decide for themselves in which facilities they would like to receive aid in by Telluris, instead of such choices being made for them like most NGO’s do. Villagers come together to discuss, unite and motivatie each other for achieving their prime goals and Telluris helps them fullfilling these wishes. Nearly all the local employees at Telluris who work with the Munda, are Munda themselves en educated by Telluris. At Telluris, the most important thing is to actively let people take part in the process where at every interaction, knowledge is exchanged!

Rebel Up! Soundclash double dose; WEEKEND TOUR -> Fri 27th @ Worm, Rotterdam & Sat 28th of february @ OCCII, Amsterdam; with Filastine (US/SP) & Malorix (NL)
Hello there,
It’s your soundgrocer knocking at the digital window, bringing some sweet saffron smells. 
We are preparing for another Rebel Up! Soundclash, this time a full weekend of Rebel Up! clashing in Holland’s 2 biggest cities! Let’s just call it a ‘Tour of the Dams’ thing, so that people in both Rotterdam & Amsterdam can get a cultured listening by the hands of Filastine, Malorix and our Rebel Up! crew.
On Friday 27th of february the friendly people @ Worm are taking our rebel Up! crew and Filastine (US/SP) in their playhouse. The night is hosted by Redrum Recordz and is set up as the album release party for local Rotterdam resident artist Malorix, who has just released his crisp new album ‘Sound System Culture Clash’ on the same label. Expect a display of broken world beats with different flavours and dippings. Since we are kinda co-hosting too, we will happily provide the playaround sounds and visuals throughout the night! We also heard rumours that Arnold of Zea (and also The Ex) will be taking bar playing duties, wahey! so, Rebel Up! does Rotterdam a go-go! Damage is 7 euro’s, first 25 visitors get a free Malorix album!
But beware, unlike our Amsterdam episodes, this night will start @ 21ish and will be finished at 2am. (not 1am as wrongly stated before)
That’s good news for all you Utrecht-ites; now is a direct night train going from Rotterdam to Utrecht in 40mins, not the 2 hours of boredom and snoozing as before!
See here for more info at the Worm tube;

and if you can not make it on Friday…..
the next day, Saturday 28th of february, will ofocurse bring us to our faithfull nest that is the OCCII in Amsterdam oud-zuid.
Here all the shine will be on Grey Filastine, coming from his Barcelona holdout. He has also just released his new album ‘Dirty Bomb’ on French experimental label Jarring Effects & Soot Records. What can we say, this album is even better and rougher than his previous one. The album was recorded in many corners of the world and different deep bass styles seep through the soundpalate. Filastine has been quite active in the last 10 years as part of anitcapitalist improv group Tchkung! and marching band Infernal Noise Brigade that performed at WTO meetings. Anyone who has seen Filastine live at work before will remember that his solo sets are all about bringing his sounds live to the dancefloor, with live drumming in shopping cart setups! Filastine will serve up a spicy melange of balkanized ragga, gunshot dubplates and endless critical political mashes between the eastern and western hemispheres. This IS the brave new world in full sound. To get a serious travel in taste, listen to his 2007 Blentwell mix.

Check out his website and hidden blog about his travels in Asia and on recording his album. And scroll down for some live video’s! red hot.
Malorix surely is no unfamiliar face at Rebel Up! anymore and will also present his freshly new album in a good live setting. We’ll also shape the night with our warm-up and cool-down sounds & inspiringly tantalizing visuals! Our promise -> a thrift store experience of ethnical influences and unknown styles, mashed with the obvious sounds of cumbia, kuduro, rumba, gypsy, maghreb, dabke, molam, gamelan and any other sizzling folk/pop/rock/hiphop/noise/ambient combination, who knows!
About charity matters. Last time unfortunately we didn’t collect much funds for Islamic Relief so we are raising the roof for them again. Hope we can provide some deserved aid to families in Gaza and Palestina this time. As many of you will know, things are not going well in Gaza at the moment. Around 900 people have been killed and over 4000 have been injured during the last sieges. The majority of Gaza citizens are currently without water, electricity or gas. Food is running out, and around 80,000 people are estimated to have been left homeless.
Islamic Relief is an international relief and development organization which has been working in the Palestinian territories since 1994. In spite of ongoing blockades and enduring limited humanitarian access, Islamic Relief Palestine has managed to supply and will continue to supply food parcels, medical supplies and blankets to the people of Gaza, co-operating with the Palestinian Ministry of Health, World Health Organization, and other aid agencies in order to alleviate the pains of the people of Gaza. Your donation may seem but a tiny step, but lots of tiny steps combined will surely enable something of a positive leap to occur in the lives of our fellow humans in the Gaza strip!
A word of advice; we recently heard that the Dutch Islamic Relief site is prone to ‘phishing‘, so do not pay them straight by credit card but by Giro 2002!
Also refer to their international website unless you’re sure of the safety of your paying method. This phishing incident does raise the prime question; who are behind it; just simple web criminals or Western intelligences blocking the money flow to the East? Perhaps it’s a combination of both, it wouldn’t be so odd really.

Oh, I still have a little backlog of Nepali topi hats, caps and other locally crafted goods from the Tansen valley that I took back with me last year. Up for sale on both nights for those interested in uniquely streetwise Nepali youth & grandpa fashion
Hope to see you somewhere!
