With our own tools, we’ll be bringing cutting edge platinum skills to keep your mind awake till late. Our combat will stand on stage and it will defy gravity from the lowest rebajada from Buenos Aires to the mash up bass of San Francisco, the fight shall be fair and you’ll have the chance to stand in the middle and take sides. So who’s gonna take a step for resistance ?
Sonido del Principe (NL) The great master of Cumbia and founder of Generation Bass will be here to remind us on good manners with sizzling cuts and mashups from every sounds, bleeps and natural noises that flow below the United States.

Still feelin’ stuffy, hey ?
You’re not quite finished with your chocolate box and your waistline resembled a creamy croissant with an invisible belly button. It’s normal, it’s global. Happy faces for a happy new year plenty of crisis and resistance against it. Most of us ate plenty for this end of 2010, the snow didn’t prevent us from reaching the turkey’s butt. Wilders gets his own licked more than ever by the local parliament and there’s anarchy in Belgium. The salmon flies above the homeless and the shit of a banker does not want to produce gold yet. On this “divide and rule” game, indignation taken into action remains the best arm. In order to connect and talk about real good common resolutions for the future, the OCCII and its Rebel Up! Soundclash is a perfect venue for that. We will bring you the atmosphere necessary to redeem your stomach and cruise the world’s perspective. Through what means of transportation ?
HOBO DREAMS OF CINEMATIC SALVATION (Los Angeles/US)
Paolo Davanzo and Lisa Marr have been touring the world for the past 20 years as musicians, filmmakers and ambassadors of cinematic goodwill. When they are not running the Echo Park Film Center in Los Angeles, they tour the world singing folks songs to accompany silent Super 8 films they have shot on their travels. From the Mongolian Steppe to the Streets of Mexico City, sit back and relax as these images and sounds are presented as a lullaby of memory and dreams. We’re lucky to have them as they’re just a few days in Europe by the invitation of the International Film Festival Rotterdam. Be on time, they’ll play around midnight!

DJ POLYESTA (NL) has gained the rank and right to travel in a magic carpet, swifter, smoother, that fits her attitude to music. On the outskirt of all-lands, she seems to have create her own place where her guests are invited to float in an elegant compound of styles. Like a druid, she’ll combined each force into a musical entanglement and vaporized it as a BalkanAfricarribeoceAsiatic trail. Bring your carpet and maybe one or two cushions if you want to follow her.

DJ BUSHDOOF (Melbourne/AU/A’dam) will use his rickshaw to stroll within the small streets of Laos, filled with charismatic songs and fumes of grilled pork. He’ll bargain his ride for a green 125cc Suzuki and jump into the Favelas of Rio and deal some gems for Baile funk sake. Suddenly reappearing in an electrified tram on Brooklyn Ave. Seeking the right cap, electro hip-hop, electro / pure / hip hop. Within these choices, our local DJ will use the Jamdown decision “Take ’em all, leave none behind”.

The REBEL UP! CREW will take a viral pleasure to ensure sound attraction and visual prospection. We are coming back with more intriguing sounds than ever. With us a Chaabi singer meets easily with a Dubsteppa MC, fresh 2010 tecnocumbia from the Andes collides with South Indian folkpop down to the dance circles of Soweto. We keep it on a no-ground level!
With the knowledge of these eclectic sounds and the temperature it’s going to bring you should also be aware that you coming represents a good step in the means of helping others and enjoying it. By leaving a 5 euro fee at the entrance and maybe a little more, you’ll support an organisation that develops goodwill projects especially in Africa. The name of the organization is Warriors Without Weapons. So here’s one mutual resolution that works !

Merry Chocolate Party to you all, gals and guys,
May your inspirations for 2011 be filled with true love and the will to do good. Well, if you did that already in 2010, you can search for new occupations then. I don’t know, save a boat that kills dolphins, attend Surinamese class, find a pet to your pets. Do something for your life. At least I know something you could do this Saturday. It’s meant to stimulate the heart and achieve a perfect body shape and pure feeling. It prepares you for the harshness of liver attacks for the next few weeks. By coming you’ll be forgetting all the horrors and fear to come. At least between 22.30 and 4.00.
We decided to have a fused menu this end of year 2010, that’s been fruitful in emotions and wild guests. Ours this time is an insider somehow, from the Netherlands, here is
DJ ZERKALO. He uses a rocket to transport you from Thailand to Haïti, some echoes of Columbia y Cuba, no transit and straight to Africa. You can tell he loves this continent with all its grooviness and rough rhythms. He’s searching deep in our planet jukebox, just the way we do.
REBEL UP! DJs. The Good Belgian, The Ugly French and the Baddass Dutch reunited as in the days of old. The Triumvirate will be severe and strict in one point, making you argue all night long, what you just heard, where could it come from and how the hell someone could produce such craze.
PROCESS REBEL. If Seattle, San Francisco and Amsterdam had something in common, that would be him. Our mad banana lover. Not only has he been living in those three cities but he’s got that uncompromising style from Seattle, the cool attitude of SF and the cosmoEuropolparty understanding of A’dam. He will process you into his tough bass blood and new funk selection. Keep some strength for that one.
VJ M is back to give our optical organs a well-deserved massage. He’ll bring along a big box of sublime cultureclashing visuals that will awaken your third eye while gently tickling your skin with photon bombs.
After that, we go to bed satisfied and ready for more in 2011.
Our charity funds will go this time for Warriors Without Weapons, an organisation that develops goodwill projects to conceive and realize especially in Africa. Alejandra from WWW will come with her shaker to sell you the best cocktails and raise more money for the cause. Seek for more info :

Have good ones
