Hi all,

Oh! Rebel Up! was interviewed by TV Brussel last april, see it here on the Brussels International show of 20th june.

moving on to the airwaves; this Friday, Rebel Up! is invited to Brussels pirate station Radio Panik to play some tunes at the Jardin Publik/Jardin (F)estival show from 18 – 19h realtime.  You can listen live to the show on internet, check here.

We’ll play a selection of Indian folkpop tunes from our special India evening on 8th of july at the Recyclart. This night will be part of the upcoming Holidays summer festival of Recyclart, which kicks off this weekend and goes on till the end of august.
We’ll also play some other good music of artists/bands that will play at the festival. Tune in! Good tunes to go with your BBQ! 🙂

Hey all,

this Saturday night Rebel Up! will be spinning sounds at 2 free parties in Brussels, close to each other and by good coincidence.

Earlier in the night I’m playing latino & afrobeat sounds from 0:30 till about 2am at noche Tropical #2 in Madame Moustache. From 22:30 till 0:30 there’s even time to learn some salsa & merengue dance moves.

After 2am I’ll be playing at the famous Bal Du Canal night in La Compilotheque on the canal (Akenkaai 50), These nights are true summer parties that go on till dawn and with all kinda music possible, as long as it swings ‘n’ shakes, from kitsch to new sounds. Expect a good mix of global vibes, folkpop, fanfare funk, new wave and disco. Also here entrance is free, so don’t miss this fine party.

I’ll be bringing a donation box for Dutch-Bolivian charity organisation Chakana (www.chakana.org), so feel free to donate some loose coins at the dj booth.

See below for info/address of both places etc.
Hopefully see you somewhere!

This Saturday 19th @ MADAME MOUSTACHE – FREE – 10PM till late – TROPICAL *LATIN ROOTS PARTY*
After an amazing first edition early May, we’re back with that latin twist you can’t resist. A dancing introduction is also set up, so you can look good on the wooden dancefloor, moving those hips, doing fancy tricks and moves to the toughest grooves. Now that’s a formula isn’t it?

DANCE INTRO : For those who’d like to get busy on the dancefloor but don’t know the steps, a couple of excellent dancers will be there to show you the basics In the first part of the evening. Nothing too formal, straight party vibe !

REBEL UP! DJ Sebcat will be guest-DJing the oldschool sounds of the latin continent. Looking good indeed.

Last detail, the party is going monthly from september on!

Hi all,

From Mythic to Mystic there’s only a leap of faith and Rebel Up! connects them within a week.

After having the great honour to play at a great night with The Ex and Getatchew Mekuria last Friday, this Saturday 12th june we’ll be enjoying our special guest from the Canadian countryside.

1-Speed Bike is the alter-ego of Aidan Girtdrummer for Montreal-based bands Exhaust and Godspeed You! Black Emperor & Exhaust. He’s a one man mobile soundsystem who started making his first appearance remixing tracks on an ancient 12-bit AKAI sampler for Exhaust’s debut record, Aidan went on to build a large sample bank sourced from his own live drumming and made a full-length album for Constellation in 2000. He has also moshed things up at numerous street actions and benefits over the years. Aidan lived in A’dam for a while before settling with his family into a cabin in the woods outside of Montreal, where he continues to speed things up and slow things down at his home studio.

We will also be joined by DJ TP OK who will play a fine selection northern african dance styles, afro funk, global beats and other gems.

The ever global Rebel Up! crew will serve some more hot music and vids from our global archives and newfound spheres with beats, bass and funk to your liking. Latin American – African – Caribbean – Arabian – Asian & western sounds in a heavy mishmash that will dazzle your cultured minds. Just go wild and crazy! As the World Cup kicks off, we’ll play some special South African music to honour the poor people in the townships.

Tonight we would like to raise money & awareness for charity Stichting Chakana, an organisation that provides support to Indian communities in the upper highlands of the Bolivian and Peruvian Andes. Their main projects are focussed on building greenhouses, teaching ecological agriculture and providing education for children. We will go around with the donation pot and hope you can drop a nice donation, whatever you can spare.

entry 5€, profits will be donated to charity

Come along and share a special moment. Still for the good cause. Still conscious dance, Rebel Up! forever.
