𝐄̈𝐬𝐞𝐧𝐚𝐢𝐦 (live) Ësenaim was born from the urge to turn field experiences into something that could be felt, heard, and shared. After years of humanitarian work with Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF)—from cholera outbreaks in Haiti to displacement in Congo and floods in South Sudan—Sarah Guefif and Michael Casera returned home with memories that words alone could not carry. Since 2016, they have collected sounds and written poetry during missions—capturing voices, atmospheres, and landscapes that reflect human resilience and the complexity of life in crisis zones. From this grew Ësenaim.: a project where electronic music, poetry, and visual storytelling meet to create immersive performances rooted in testimony. A live set in sound and moving visuals, a journey to places that many of us have forgotten or don’t know about.
𝐋𝐨𝐲𝐚 (live) La Reunion Loya is the project that mixes traditional music from the Indian Ocean ( Reunion island, Madagascar, Mauritius, Comoros) and electronic music. As an electronic composer and producer, playing live shows with a special modular circuit setup of synthesizers. With his Blakaz projects, Loya continues his musical exploration of the Indian Ocean, a journey that began in Mauritius, Madagascar and the Comores islands, working together with local traditional musicians. The ancestral pulse meeting the electronic textures of Loya’s modular synthesizer, which extends, transforms, and reinvents them. Each album is a dialogue, a bridge between islands, generations, and sound worlds. Each piece is inspired by everyday life, nature, and the symbols of the archipelago. From these encounters emerge hybrid soundscapes that are both organic and electronic, poetic and spiritual. The traveler moves from village chants to the oscillations of machines, from earth to water, from memory to creation
DJ’s Bob Le Voyageur (opening set) and SebCat & Moon Yé to close the night. + live visuals by Lisa & Laure of Gravity VJ collective

hey all! This thursday 20 march we organise a special Rebel Up Records label evening at the Ancienne Belgique club room in Bxl centre!
With 2 concerts, by Brazilian group Satanique Samba Trio to celebrate their new release on 21.03 on the start of their European tour, and a warmup show by Brussels duo Trance Plantations. DJ support by SebCat & Drache MuMu.
Satanique Samba Trio is an instrumental avant-garde quintet (yep, not really a trio), founded in 2003 with the sole purpose to be an idiosyncratic force on the Brazilian musical landscape. No Brazilian traditional rhythm remains unscathed on Satanique Samba Trio’s trail of desecration. From samba to forró, from bossa nova to lambada and carimbó, this Brasília-based quintet (sometimes sextet) has been adding virulence, dissonance and provocation to Brazil’s musical heritage. Their efforts on deconstructing Brazilian music’s most persistent clichés have resulted in 15 records so far. After a (post-)covid hiatus, they finally hit Europe again to promote their upcoming 7-inch vinyl .‘Cursed Brazilian Beats Vol. 1’, to be released on the Brussels label Rebel Up! Records. The 7inch will be available at the show!
And afterwards we do a Rebel Up x ECHT! afterparty @ Bonnefooi bar, as ECHT! also plays their new album release concert in the big room of the Ancienne Belgique. Expect a full lineup with underground electronic & global sounds by SebCat, Papelón Kifesh, Moon Yé and DJ Erd.
Hye all, this wednesday evening at Bonnefooi bar, Rebel Up organises an evening with live concert by Hun Hun.
Brussels duo Hun Hun. Following a trip to Istanbul, the two brothers set about creating mini sound odysseys with new age, ambient and tribal overtones. Hun Hun’s compositions are experimental and timeless, playing on the repetition of ancient melodies and rhythms. Ready to get lost in the maze of the big bazaar ?
