Hola chicos & chicas!

This friday in Brussels, Rebel Up! has been invited to play at GELATINA, the most suave underground electrolatino party of the city and beyond!

♥•*¨☠*•♫♪ GELATINA presents ISA GT! ♪♫•* ☠¨*•♥ from Jellyfish on Vimeo.

Rebel Up! dj *El Gato Seb* (SebCat in latino mood) will do a special set of the latest sounds from the latino underground with Bolivian tecnopop, Andino electro and the freshest Amazonian tecnobrega.

But ofcourse all ears & eyes go to special guest Isa GT, the most caliente DJ/MC/music producer from Medellin, Colombia! She will present her brand new EP “Leyenda”. After her debut “Pa Chikirri” EP (Man Recordings), Isa continues her desire to showcase her Latin heritage through the prism of her London life. Discover a mash-up of Cumbia, Baile funk, Champeta and Dubstep. Her tasty performance will make you shake your culito at Magic Mirrors!

time to kick off a new Rebel Up! Soundclash season at OCCII. From now on our parties will be once every 2 months instead of every month, just to keep it fresh and focused.

Coming saturday 27th, the Rebel Up! crew will meet the Bassculture crew from A’dam for a night of tropical bass, roots & funk, exotic folkpop and other vintage sounds to dance to. check the facebook event here.

Ofcourse our profits will go to a good charity as usual. With the heavy famine that is waging in the horn of Africa right now, we would like to raise emergency funds for the NGO SEED Samburu / Edukans. We also hope that everyone can donate whatever they can spare…it all helps!

A few weeks ago, the UN World Food programma decided to stop sending food reliefs to the tribal region of Central Sambura where the Samburu people live (a pastoral-nomadic tribe related to the Masai) and instead all food now goes to the refugee camps. It’s unfair that the UN turns their back on the Samburu and choose to let them starve. All the educational progress that has been made the past few years by NGO’s like Seed Samburu is on the point of being swooped away because without food, there is no education. Just 10 euro’s will already feed a Samburu child for a full month at school. This is the only daily meal they get as their own families are not able to feed them. Please give the Samburu kids a meal a day so that their life & education can continue!

If you are in Holland, you can also donate through this Edukans link or if you are elsewhere in the world, check the SEED Samburu site.

This friday 17th,  Rebel Up! will be spinning at the big Antitapas *cherry night* party in The Egg (an old empty factory!) in Anderlecht, just behind the South/Midi station.

We’ll be playing in the main hall, which is a giant hangar which can fit *a lot* people and seriously expected to fill up, as the Antitapas parties always draw over 1000 people, crazy stuff! From midnight to 5 am we’ll be playing all sorts *ratatouille* global sounds from every warm and tropical corner of the world with circus acts and an orchestra inbetween.  In the other room there will be a cumbia band and balkan  and cumbia dj’s like our good friend Quilombo to make people jump up.

It surely promises to be a huge ass party! -to talk in donkey spheres-.

See the Antitapas website for more info. Be early for the free food though.  Hope to see you there!

dj SebCat will play some globally inspired tunes at a VSO charity party @ cafe L’Amour Fou from around 22 or 22:30.

Come along if you like to swing for the good cause. There will also be all kinds of food on offer.

It’s 10€ in, but all money goes to the charity.
(or if you want, mail us for guestlist, though places are limited)

address;
Elsense steenweg 185 Chaussée d’Ixelles, 1050, Bxl
from 21:00 till late

Before and after the concert, Rebel Up! dj SebCat will be dj-ing together with dj friends Lowdjo, LeBlanc, Darcyr & Sonidero Quilombo (all of the newly formed Brussels Up! quintet crew) till late to close off the 7 Billion world festival in good musical fashion and with good weather the music will be outside. Oh, and it`s FREE in, so come and taste some Touareg guitar spheres, global dance tunes and worldly food dishes!

and more news; after the summer for the 2011-2012 season, Rebel Up! will become a partner of KultuurKaffee for their monthly KK World nights in collaboration with student organisation UCOS. Really looking forward to that!

by the way, we got some new mixes up on Mixcloud:

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.

And what’s best; the Climate Jockey’s are real jockey’s like dj/vj’s, except that they play with the climate on the dancefloor! The French Piedlabiche art collective from Lyon has made a special climate machine where they can produce & control climate elements such as wind, tropical heat, rain, mist, storm, humidity and whatnot! They will *mix* the climate along to the tunes played by all the artists, how cool/hot is that!
