hello folks,

This saturday an amazing night coming up @ OCCII, Amsterdam, time to soundclash again.

Noord-Holland fanfare-punk-folk band De Kift will be our very special guests as they are currently doing their *25 years jubileumtour* and this will be their 2nd jubilee show in OCCII where they again will play 2 full albums; Vlaskoorts (1999) en Koper (2001) both excellent albums for the connaisseurs and they will be aided on stage by G.W. Sok (ex The Ex).

short docu on Belgian tv about history & workings of the band….

Sadly the concert of De Kift is already sold out (yes, those 275 places went very quick), but you can always come in afterwards for the afterparty around 23:30. see fb event here.

We’ll take care of a nice warm-up together with our touring amigo DJ Pinchado from la Boca, Buenos Aires before the band will kick off their (at least) 2 hour long set!
Afterwards we’ll start the after party with Rebel Up! dj’s & TP OK for those who need their healthy dose of alternative global dancing, with folk tunes spiced with latin, african, asian and arabic sounds šŸ™‚

Hi Up there,
Rebel Up! is going to soundclash again on Friday 22nd of February at De Vinger in Den Haag.
The idea is as usualĀ  to deliver a musical trip through time and space, to let you wander in all continents with a ricochet on some islands. We intend to provide you with a good time in an open and friendly atmosphere. All that with a slice of consciousness involved with all benefits at the entrance dedicated for a great association called Watoto Wa Baraka. They are actually working hard on developing care centers and orphanages in rural Kenya Ā (more info available onĀ  www.africanorphanage.org).
As for musical matters, our DJ crew will be made out of 3 identities, ready and willing to clash along for your pleasure. SebCat, Palm M & DuckFood are bringing their music boxes from Rotterdam, Brussels and Den Haag. Our soundscape will mostly cross through African rough club rhythms and intricate roots, up to South American and Caribbean old and new dancefloor scenes. Surprises will come from the Middle East also. Mostly looking for rarities plus unexpected mixes and mashups, for one purpose only, put a smile in your face, close your eyes and let your body go with the flow.
Brave the cold and bring the heat!
See you then soon,
Rebel Up! Crew
