Sok (ex The Ex).

Sadly the concert of De Kift is already sold out (yes, those 275 places went very quick), but you can always come in afterwards for the afterparty around 23:30. see fb event here.

We’ll take care of a nice warm-up together with our touring amigo DJ Pinchado from la Boca, Buenos Aires before the band will kick off their (at least) 2 hour long set!
Afterwards we’ll start the after party with Rebel Up! dj’s & TP OK for those who need their healthy dose of alternative global dancing, with folk tunes spiced with latin, african, asian and arabic sounds 🙂

Fri 14 Sept; Rebel Up! Soundclash @ café De Vinger, Den Haag

hey folks,

After 5 years of existence, Rebel Up! has decided to invade downtown Den Haag. this friday we will have our first Rebel Up! Soundclash night in Agga @ café De Vinger. your Rebel Up! dj´s Palm M & Sebcat will be joined by Dubcovsky (Kako Da Ne/Casa Babilon). The city will rise this time to the global sound and fury of 3 stubborn DJs :

Sebcat (Be/NL) – The man has travelled and brought back loads of music from the outside world. He’ll introduce tribal and transcendental, Hi and Lo-fi tunes to your body n ears. anything goes from slow Greek Rebetika to swinging Nu Cumbia, vintage Ghanaian records, electro folk from the Sahel, Hausa autotune pop and unreleased Shangaan electro and much much more hotness….

Dubcovski (NL) – The guy has already worked its magic around the Netherlands but its main outpost is Utrecht where he and his kinds conflagrate various venues with their Neo Folk, Abstract Balkan waves. If you haven’t sweat all your fluids on the dancefloor yet. Be prepared to shake it madly with him. The trumpet flow never stops just like in Kusturica’s.

Palm M (Fr/NL) A French dude with a flair for good refreshing songs like Haïtian biguine, Surinamese hits, a slice of Brazilian new scene and some hidden tracks to clash as hell with his friends on stage.

Friday 14 Sept
Doors: 20:00 – 2:00h, free in before 23:00, 3€ after
