Wahey, next Rebel Up! party coming up!

This one will be a *Rio vs Sampa Brazilian cidade clash*. We will guests from Brazil’s 2 biggest and most famous cities; Rio de Janeiro & Sao Paulo. Anyone familiar with these cities will know it; these cities are overly vibrant with music, culture and liveliness! For that very same reason they are also each other’s nemesis and created some good old rivalry. The Carioca’s (inhabitants of Rio) think themselves as the most life enjoying people while the Paulista’s (inhabitants of Sampa -or Sao Paulo-) see themselves as the centre of Brazilian culture. Oh dear, but on this night the rivalry will have a delicious taste where Maga Bo and DJ Tudo will be giving their best sounds.

Maga Bo (US/BR/Rio) is the messenger of things exotic, broken and mashed up. expect a live dj set with furious bass line that will wobble on capoeira rhythms. Ever touring the world as a soundman and general globalteer, it will be his 3rd time(!) already at Rebel Up! but it’s always an honour to have him. Both times he played with us, it was a FULL house! Check out his site or myspace for sounds & mixes.

DJ Tudo (BR) hails from Sampa and this is only the first time he comes to Holland! His sound is a varied mix of samba, bossa nova, capoeira , forro and other Brazilian dance styles with some sweet breakbeat and electro bass added for full effect.

During the night, your faithfull Rebel Up! crew will take care of globetrotting dance sounds, cult spheres and colourfull visuals. We also will be joined by US ex-patriate Process Rebel, living in A’dam nowadays. He’ll bring a full clash of rootsical mashups with a global ‘up yours’ attitude 🙂

We also will have a special photo exhibition by Enno de Jong (A’dam, 1967), who has made an amazing serie about the street Children of São Martinho, Rio. This exhibition is a combined project of 1991 and a recent revisit in 2009. See below the photo of Marina in 1991 & 2009. www.PositiveIndustries.nl

As you know, we dig the charity cause and we have again selected Brazilian organisation IBISS, who do multiple street projects in the Rio area. We’ll go around with a collection box during the night or you can donate at the door!

Friday 25th of september; Rebel Up! Soundclash *Argentina Special!* @ OCCII, with DJ Pinchado (AR) & Los Siquicos Litoraleños (AR)

We go Argentinian all the way on this night! This night is in collaboration with WORM.

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 psychedelic 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!

Los Siquicos Litoraleños (AR)
From the outland countryside surrounding the small town Curuzú Cuatiá in the province Corrientes of North East Argentina, comes a exceedingly rare treat for the ears. Los Siquicos Litoraleños is a unique band formed in 2004. Originally an all improvisational freeform band, their music soon developed into an unclassifiable, highly original style incorporating elements of  cumbia, subtle noise, lo-fi tape manipulation, chamamé (the popular folk music of Corrientes), the angular guitars of Beefheart’s Magic band and a rich variety of non-rock rhythms. At Rebel Up! they will play a special rocking set with trashy dancing in mind, ho ho! See some awesome viddy’s here:

The Rebel Up! DJ’s & VJ’s will guide the sound and the visuals of the night and will be aided by Rotterdam & Worm honcho Saxixa with his edgy Argentinian cumbia collection.

Tonight we will raise awareness and a donation box for Stichting Ombú, a Dutch organisation forcussed on Argentina which helps local Argentinian organisations to improve conditions in the poorest shantytowns. More info @ www.stichtingombu.nl

Rebel Up 29 august 2009 OCCII
While the summer finally starts to get better, it’s time to kick off a new Rebel Up! season! 😀
and more new things; have you already checked our fresh myspace?

This night we’ll have a special live guest from America, Process Rebel! Though resident in A’dam since this year, Process Rebel is Chad Jones from Seattle and has made a name for himself in San Francisco during the early days of the global mashup movement around 2002. First with Hypnomadic in 2002 (alongside San Francisco dj Soulsalaam), live cinematic dubs and sweaty drum machines mashed with jungle, drum&bass, ragga, hip-hop and “world” music frequently and beautifully destroyed SF warehouses and venues. He has since remixed/released for and played with the likes of DJ Spooky, Mick Harris (Scorn) Kid Beyond, MC Zulu, Sub Swara, Dub Gabriel, MC Coppa, to name a good few. That Maga Bo and Filastine are his spiritual brothers is no coincidence. Chad has had many creative global producing going on (just see his site for an EARFULL!) and is currently recording as Other Weapons, which leans to a mashup of dancehall, dubstep, breaks & baile funk! Expect a live dj set where he will leave no global roostical border untouched, mash up da place! Check here for his latest mix!

We will also be joined by A’dam underground dj Marcelle, a truly eclectic dj by heart! She presents the real tasty weekly radio show Another Nice Mess @ internet radio station DFM.nu and strongly has the spiritual teachings of John Peel in her. A mashup nonetheless of all things crunchy!

And ofcourse all around this we’ll play our global Rebel Up! sounds and visuals to put you either in powersoca, rebajada, zouglou, lok geet, molam, kaseko, funana or you-name-it spheres!

The charity of this night will again be the good people of Telluris India. This Belgian organisation that provides aid to the Munda tribes in the forest state of Jharkhand in Northern India. For more information, look back to our previous night @ OCCII or click here for a 15 minute video about the work Telluris does for tribal people in India.

Omar Souleyman (Syria)

omar1_small

Syrian street level folkpop; traditional dabke folk music mixed with electronic dance beats, unreal music from the middle east! Back home, Souleyman performs at engagements & weddings as party singer for local Syrians and soon also for westeners. @ Rebel Up! we have many times played his songs on our nights, making you all dance and wondering -who is this special artist?- Well now, it’s (y)our first chance to hear him play in the flesh, don’t miss Souleyman’s folkrave extravaganza!

Group Doueh (Western Sahara)
doueh1_small1

Raw trancedental desert blues with traditional Sahrawi/Hassania folk music. Expect rough guitars and nomadic singing styles into one heavy lofi sound as never heard before from the sandy dunes of the Sahara. Let yourself be amazed by this Saharan sound of sweet lofi folkpunk.

Alan Bishop & Mark Gergis of the Sublime Frequencies label will play an eclectic dj set. Also the new movie  PALACE OF THE WINDS by Hisham Mayet about the Saharawi people of the Mauritanian sahara will be shown, wow!
