19 september, vechtclub

*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!

The Rebel Up! Soundclash crew will hit Utrecht with a global dance night @ Vechtclub in the barrio of Overvecht, *Utrecht northside*. As autumn is looming,  we present a special Argentinian cumbia night filled with global tropical sounds! The warm character of the ecologically and self-built Vechtclub theatre fits perfectly for the atmosphere of this night.

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. More info @ www.stichtingombu.nl

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 #23, Saturday 25th of april; awareness night for the Schipholbrand; Free Ahmed Isa!

Time for Rebel Up! again!

Free Ahmed Isa!
~Schiphol brandt voort / Schiphol burns on~

It has been more than 3 years ago that the immigration detention centre at Schiphol airport burned down. An illegal government prison without fireproof materials, so it was a disaster just waiting to happen. 11 people died that october night in 2005. Libian immigrant Ahmed Isa is suspected of starting the fire by flicking a cigarette butt -say what?- He has been in jail ever since that night and still without trail. Testimonies by many of his immigrant inmates have proven that Ahmed Isa is innocent and that the insecure fire facilities are to blame. The government however, chose to turn him into a scapegoat. Normally his trial should have taken place this week, hoping that this night could be celebrated as his night of freedom. Unfortunately his trial has been postponed till august. Instead, let’s shake the  shackles.
We say: Free Ahmed Isa!
www.vertrokkengezichten.net



During the night we will have Senegalese and Ghanese immigrant artists playing live & dj-ing alonside us. They were in that detention centre and survived that fire. We will give them a stage to spread their message, whether in words or music. We hope you want to listen and think deeply to them. Please tell your friends, family and come along to support!

Please note that we will open a little bit earlier, at 22:00


The lineup:
Black Lion (tribal animal dance from Senegal) site
Sali (African hiphop (Ghana))
DJ Papa Sakho (Senegalese dance music)
Wontanara Takkita (various Guinean drums played by global folks)

Profits of the night will go to the immigrants of the uprising in Block L, which happened last february. Most of them still need legal help, phone credit to call their family and other items that can make their life in detention centre a bit more bearable. See here for the information: Block L uprising information site

Rebel Up! Soundclash, Sat. 28th of march with 2/5 BZ (TR) & Zea (NL) live!

Hello all

@ Worm 27th

Time for another sweet Saturday of Rebel Up! sounds.
A few weeks ago we played at the OT301 at an amazing Ethiopian Azmari night -the Ililta Band with Chalachew Ashenafi-, thanks to Andy, Terrie & Colin for having us. It was nice to see some of our regular RU visitors too!

This saturday we’ll be having 2/5 BZ straight from Istanbul! Perhaps not a famous household name, but all the better. Someone who has been a John Peel favorite surely can’t disappoint.

Serhat Koksal aka 2/5 BZ has done 2 of those famous Peel sessions, which have both been translated into a crafty cutted ep’s. Well worth checking out, listen to the sounds on his myspace page.

2/5 BZ mixes rough beats and sample cut-ups with political narratives which go from east to west and vice versa.  True spheres from the oil-orient that is! Add some bizarre visuals of 70’s & 80’s ‘Nabucco’ cult movies to the mix, along with *no exotic* political images and you’ll experience what 2/5 BZ is all about.

Lately he has been occupied with special unrooted global movements, such as the Venezualan and Iranian cultural psyche and his latest audiovisial work ‘No Cultural pipeline Dialogue“. What to expect then? Who really knows, but what is sure is that an accidental occidental grip will take your attention and make you sway to blurred eurasian pixels loaded with heavy static. Better come and find out!

2/5BZ NO Cultural Pipeline Dialogue from BerBat Zoksal on Vimeo.

Ps., should you be living in the Rotterdam area, 2/5 BZ is also playing a live set @ Worm on Friday, so plenty of chances to catch the gullible guy!- wormweb

Our 2nd live guest of the night will be none other than Amsterdam local (and Rebel Up supporter & OCCII volunteer) Zea! Instead of a 2-piece duo,  Zea is continued as Arnold’s solo project for now (plus he has become the newest member of The Ex since a month!). As he puts it himself, he’ll be bringing some ‘buzzing pop and outernational rock music, yay!  See way below some awesome video’s of Arnold in Ethiopia last year.  ‘Song for Electricity’, such a great song and clip isn’t it? It makes us jump and jive 🙂


Song for Electricity

Also we’ll be joined by the mysterious DJ de Boer,  who will play ‘agrarian dance music’ from allover the world and possibly some ethnical Friesland sounds, Holland’s own foreign rebellious state 😉 Try to take a good guess as what his identity of semi-indie fame is. It ain’t that hard really.

Ofcourse the same old Rebel Up DJ’s will be dusting their records and swiping cd-r’s for your pleasure as well as our VJ team. New visuals will once again collide into millions of pixels, raw footage and whatnot loops.  Sure, we’ll serve the syrup mighty sweet and sour!

Charity Matters, we stick with Islamic Relief for the 3rd and last time tonight. Families in Gaza and Palestina keep on needing your support. The majority of Gaza citizens are still 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!

Hopefully the Dutch website of Islamic Relief has been made free of criminal or anti-islamic phishing.  If in doubt, redirect your digital money to islamic relief/ or just come along to our night and drop them in our tin box!

Oh, one of our dj’s has a little backlog of Nepali topi hats, caps and other locally crafted goods from the secluded mountainous Tansen valley from last year. Again up for sale for those interested in uniquely streetwise Nepali youth & grandpa fashion 🙂

update on Somaliland charity

Posted on by

We have gotten some more info about the charity in Somaliland. The organisation does not have a website yet and they solely depend on personal support for the time being. Unfortunately we can also not name the peaceful organisation, as that might get them into trouble since their proect in Somaliland has been terminated by the UN and condemned by the militant groups. It’s best not to risk their safety in both ways.

Our friend also insisted if we could help the 8 Somali staff employees that were part of her project and which they had to leave behind in Hargeisa. They have been unemployed since and all have families to feed. One of employee is even in the hospital. For this critical reason, any help we can give is very much appreciated.

We want to split the money evenly so that both the organisation as well as the unemployed staff can be aided.

Some more information about 1st organisation (*names are changed for security reasons)

GUD* is a non-governmental, non-political, non-profit making national organization. The organization was formally founded in November 2007 with the technical and financial support of Somaliland intellectuals and traditional leaders who were, and still are, fully engaged on peace building, conflict resolution and promotion of human rights. The founders and top management team were engaged on similar activities since 2003 in their earlier capacities in another LNGO (HS LNGO) which they separated themselves from during the last quarter of 2007 as they established GUD.

They initiated the launching of the Advocacy program of Human Rights, Peace and Environment focused on the Somali Customary Law (Xeer) with direct involvement of the grass root traditional leaders as the major agents of change to amend the harmful customary codes and put them in alignment with the international human rights standards. After the initial successes of the Advocacy program in the Togdheer region and the replication of the experience in Hargeisa region they established a professional local NGO to keep the programma alive.
In establishing Hornpeace this deficit was sought addressed by opening a conduit for the traditional system and international organizations to work together on a broad specter of issues. These issues were being ignored by other international organizations operating in Somaliland. They have various branches in different regions and are looking to more progress in the Somaliland peace cause.

Hi all,
(FOR DUTCH VERSION, SCROLL & SCROLL BELOW)

Already feeling in the mood for another session at the OCCII? We sure do!

Our next Rebel Up night will be linked to the India festival and to the Indian cultural project as done by 2 of own Rebel Up people! (remember the ek-do-tin-accha blog!?)
On the programme, a real special thing; a *live Rajasthani music cinema*, in which filmed footage and music will be performed together on screen and through the loudspeakers! A story without words, but with music as a narrative and your own experience to grasp.

More special performances should be expected too, keep a close eye on our website!
All night long, we’ll play you loads of famous and unheard cinematic pop, tribal folk and folkpop tunes from allover India’s vast continent to make everyone jump and jive on the dancefloor!

Back to our charity motivation as always….
The charity of the night is Telluris India, a Belgian help organisation which gives 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.

Surrounded by dominant cultures of the Hindustan caste system and the ever modernising world, they are on the verge to lose their land and culture forever. By the hands of corrupted authorities that favour industrialisation, mining and lumberjacking, the forests have already 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!

NEDERLANDS

Ahoi!

Ook al zin in de volgende wereldse avond in de OCCII? Wij echt wel!

Deze Rebel Up avond zal in het teken staan van het India festival en ook het Indiase cultuurproject van 2 creatieve persoontjes uit onze eigen organisatie! (denk aan het ek-do-tin-accha blog!) Met op het programma een heuse live *Rajasthani music cinema*, waarin beeld en muziek ter plekke zullen worden opgevoerd voor uw ogen en oren. Een verhaal zonder woorden, maar met muziek als narratief en uw eigen ervaring daarbij. Extra optredens kunnen nog verwacht worden, houdt daarom onze website goed in de gaten. De hele avond worden er herkenbare en onbekende
cinema pop, tribale folk en folkpop tonen uit de verschillende Indiase staten gespeeld om iedereen op de dansvloer goed te doen stuiteren!

Zoals altijd, onze motivatie voor een oprecht goede hulporganisatie.

Het goede doel van deze avond is Telluris India, een Belgische organistatie die de inheemse Munda stammen helpt in de deelstaat Jharkhand in Noord India. Deze stammen vallen binnen de Adivasi kaste en zijn de oorspronkelijke bewoners van deze regio. Hun cultuur en leefwijze dateert van voordat het Hinduisme in India ontstond, ca. 5000 jaar geleden. De natuur is alles voor deze stammen; ze hebben een natuurreligie en daarbij vereren ze de natuur rondom hun.

Omgeven door dominante culturen van het Hindoestaanse kastensysteem enerzijds en de voortdenderende modernisering en industrialisering anderzijds, dreigen zij hun leefgebied en manier van leven te verliezen. Lokale corruptie heeft industrialisering, mijnbouw en houtkap vrij spel gegeven en de bossen zijn al voor 70% verdwenen. Met alle gevolgen van dien: erosie (waterproblemen en verarming van de grond), droogte en het verdwijnen van planten- en diersoorten en houtschaarste!

Het bos biedt ecologische diversiteit, levens- en geneesmiddelen en bescherming voor erosie. De Munda zijn kleinschalige landbouwers en hebben het bos daarom hard nodig.
Telluris helpt de stammen bij het planten van nieuwe gewassen en medicinale planten, het graven van waterputten, kennis over bio farming en andere projecten die te maken hebben met hun leefomgeving. De Munda stammen kunnen zelf bepalen in welke natuurlijke voorzieningen ze geholpen willen worden ipv dat er voor ze gekozen wordt zoals dat bij vele NGO’s gaat. Dorpsbewoners komen bij elkaar om te overleggen, zich te verenigen en elkaar te motiveren om de gestelde doelen te halen en Telluris helpt hun bij het verwezenlijken hiervan. Bijna alle medewerkers van Telluris die met de Munda werken zijn zelf Munda, opgeleid door Telluris. Bij Telluris draait het om mensen deel uit te laten maken van een uitwisseling waar bij iedere interactie kennis overgedragen kan worden.

Onze Rebel Up VJ Maarten; Ik heb als filmmaker in 2008 contact gezocht met Telluris om mij meer te verdiepen in de oorspronkelijke bewoners van India. Met Telluris heb ik een film gemaakt over hun en hun leefomgeving gedurende 2 weken. De Munda kennen electriciteit nauwelijks, kabels lopen niet door het dorp heen. ‘s Nachts is het er pikkedonker en is men alleen met elkaar, de sterren en de silouetten van de bomen. Olielampjes bieden de nodige verlichting om een weg door de lemen huisjes te vinden. De Munda doen alles met de hand. Men maakt uit hout en ijzer eigen gereedschap, gebruikt een houten ploeg om het land te bewerken en weeft met de hand.

Iedereen in het dorp is constant druk bezig en toch zijn de Munda de meest ontspannen, vriendelijke en vrolijke mensen die ik ben tegengekomen op mijn reis door India. De Munda zijn zo hartelijk en goedlachs dat men er intens vrolijk van wordt.. En toch hebben de Munda het zwaar. Ze worden in hun manier van leven bedreigt. Niet omdat hun manier van leven niet rendabel is maar doordat de bossen van Jharkhand vliegensvlug verdwijnen -of liever: al verdwenen zijn- en er in India een lage sociale gerechtigheid heerst. De economsiche vooruitgang wordt gestuwd door het grote arsenaal aan goedkope arbeiders die ontheemding oplevert.

Wat mij bij Telluris aansprak was hun insteek in ontwikkelingssamenwerking. Ze leggen geen hulp op zoals vele andere NGO’s, maar ze helpen mensen met de juiste hulp die de mensen zelf willen. Ze verlenen hulp vanuit een visie zoals hulp naar mijn idee geboden dient te worden. Bij Telluris draait het om mensen deel uit te laten maken van een uitwisseling die bij iedere interactie een extra waarde toevoegt.

Rebel Up! Soundclash #14, Saturday 21st of June: another helping hand for Myanmar, >Part 2!<

Posted on by

Hi all,

Thanks again to all the people who came out at last month’s busy night for Myanmar, with your help we raised 250 euro’s!! We are damn proud of this and want to thank you all for your partying support.

In this month’s Rebel Up! Soundclash we again want to raise funds for Myanmar, as there still is a lot of help needed for the 100.000 homeless cyclone victims and a doubled donation would give more families a new start.
Hopefully we can add extra loot to the proceedings of last month and make a firm donation. Look at the previous #13 message for info on the Myanmar Charity Group.

What about the music, maestro?…. we have a special guest!
MARK GERGIS (USA) (of SUBLIME FREQUENCIES & POREST) will be bringing a killer (laptop) dj set filled with exotic cut-ups, asian chopchops and middle eastern collages, if not more. Expect some raw field recorded disco extravanganza! As we always play a lot of stuff from the Sublime Frequencies label, we feel very honoured that one of its contributors pays us a visit to play.

And what else, our second traveller, VJ M, returns from his trip allover the Indian subcontinent! Through Pakistan and Iran our VJ man will find his way back to Occii to take control of the visuals again and morph his road recordings at culture shock speed for your eyes only.
One of our other faithful Rebel Up! dj’s will be missing in action this time, being in Armenia for a full month of research and trekking in the Carpatian mountains. Since our Polish guest Vega Selecta couldn’t make it last time, he will step in to get some playtime alonside the usual Rebel Up! crew.



We hope to see you on this all too special Saturday!
all info on Mark Gergis and the night below…..

SUBLIME FREQUENCIES
Sublime Frequencies is a collective of explorers dedicated to acquiring
and exposing obscure sights and sounds from modern and traditional urban
and rural frontiers via film and video, field recordings, radio and short
wave transmissions, international folk and pop music, sound anomalies,
and other forms of human and natural expression not documented
sufficiently through all channels of academic research, the modern
recording industry, media, or corporate foundations. SUBLIME FREQUENCIES
is focused on an aesthetic of extra-geography and soulful experience
inspired by music and culture, world travel, research, and the pioneering recording labels of the past.
http://www.sublimefrequencies.com/

POREST
For hundreds of years, Oakland, California’s POREST has exploited
reckless composition, performance and worldwide documentation via
multi-instrumentation, field recordings, perverse cut-uppers, dirty bomb
audio downers and whatever else gets in the way. On full-length albums
released by Seeland, Resipiscent and Abduction records, Porest has issued
a confounding collection of music and audio works ranging from mangled
pop and surrealist radio-dramas to diabolical protean ear-wash. Gergis is
a contributor to the Sublime Frequencies label, producing collections of
rare music, film, field and regional radio recordings from the Middle East, Asia and beyond. He is also a founding member of the shape-shifting
Bay Area group MONO PAUSE and its Southeast Asian permutation, NEUNG PHAK, among others.
