Thu 22 May > Rebel Up! SebCat @ Festival Monophonic, Les Ateliers Claus (Bxl)
This Thurday 22 May >
MONOPHONIC is a festival of radiophonic creations taking place at Halles de Schaerbeek. Ateliers Claus is organizing the opening event for them. It was and is a true battle to find links and crosses with the festival in order to program acts in their esprit.
“THIS WORLD IS UNREAL LIKE A SNAKE IN A ROPE” Film presented by Robert Millis (Sublime Frequencies)
Folk cinema from the eternal never-ending collage that is INDIA. A journey through the ancient Southern Indian state of Tamil Nadu featuring Hindu trance ceremonies, street music, festivals, nagaswaram improvisations, impossibly loud cities, ancient temples, processions, devotions, decay, fireworks, abstractions and more. India is impossible to know: it is impossibly old and impossibly new, impossibly rich and impossibly poor, quiet and chaotic. Offered here is one perspective, raw, captured live and in the moment, with an emphasis on India’s complex and mesmerizing sounds.
RADIO FEMMES FATALES – “No Woman No Crime – Emission 1″ & “Clitoris is not a button”
RFF crée des pièces radiophoniques performées en direct, devant un public et transmises en simultané sur une radio locale ou nationale, hertzienne ou web, associative, publique ou pirate.
RFF aborde les questions du genre, des femmes, des luttes, mais pas seulement.
No Woman No Crime est une série d’émissions qui se joue de la distinction des genres radiophoniques existants. Musiques, bruits, silences, voix, récits, dialogues, chansons, archives, s’entremêlent sans hiérarchie de valeur. Le montage, le mixage et les bruitages sont fait en direct sur scène. Ces pièces s’écoutent, se dansent ou s’observent comme un road-movie radiophonique.
À voir comme à entendre en direct sur Radio Moniek !

Support by the Rebel Up! dj’s.
what Bonnefooi says about us: These guys are some of Brussels’ most underestimated Global Groove Dj’s, with a musical network from Rajasthan to New Yorkistan and a musical selection that goes even farther and deeper into tropicalism and obscure global dance music. Sebcat is also a fulltime musical nexus, the way he blends his global grooves together in a party he also re-arranges, feeds and stimulates musical culture: as a re-distributor of records (importing Sahel Sounds records of Sublime Frequencies), in writings and research (check his writings for Gonzo Circus or his compilation on Sublime Frequencies titled *Rajasthan Street Music*) or as a curator of countless parties and concerts. Leblanc is an experienced dj & collector for the more rougher contemporary street dance music from around & below the equator. Also a distributor of African field recording records, curator of global music documentaries and a darn great cook of global dishes. Whatever you will get from him, in sound or food, it will be filled with specials spices and hotness. Caliente!

Rajasthan Street Music LP – *Sublime Frequencies*
Sebcat is very proud to present his self recorded & selected Rajasthan Street Music double LP, out since March on US label Sublime Frequencies. It has finally come out after some slow years selecting & readying the song, ever since Sebcat and VJ M undertook that trip to Rajasthan over 6 years ago. It has resulted in a truly special document of contemporary Rajasthani folk music in diverse styles with nice cover art work.
Read here what some websites say about it.

Sebcat still has LP’s available which you can buy personally from him in Brussels while stocks still last, cheaper than most shops will sell it for, so better be quick if you’re interested…
price; 25€
Wed 2 April > King Ayisoba & Band (GH) + Zea (NL) @ Ateliers Claus, Bxl
Special midweek fun coming up!!!!
Les Ateliers Claus & Rebel Up! present >
King Ayisoba & Band (GH)King is coming back to Brussels, and this time is bringing his band with him!
This is the traditional kologo music from the Upper East Region of Ghana brought with the energy and flavor of the 21st century. King Ayisoba sings in Frafra, Twi and in English and is a big star in Ghana. A whole new scene has started after King Ayisoba introduced the super catchy kologo beats to the bigger audiences in Ghana and abroad. The kologo is a two string guitar with a calabash gourd resonator, it is rhythmic and melodic at the same time. The King is bringing other musicians and dancers on this tour, dancing the traditional Frafra dia and kologo dances from the area of Bongo in Northern Ghana. The dance consists of very high jumbs and originates from hunting rituals. Aboku Adortanga (dancer and dorgo player) is King Ayisoba’s brother and is a master in playing the “Dorgo”, a special horn from Northern Ghana used in the traditional Frafra tradition of music. The sound resembles a lamb calling out loud and was original used by the Frafra people in the forest to gather the village people to come and hunt. Gemeka is an absolute master in playing the guluku, a local drum from Bolgatanga Soko in Northern Ghana. Since a few years the young Dagaati has been part of King Ayisoba’s band. At first he came to the concerts and kept coming and telling Ayisoba he could play Ayisoba’s songs on his xylophone. That was quite unusual, since Dagaati comes from the Dagaati region in upper west in Ghana. But the addition of the xylophone to the kologo, drums and voice works fantastic and Dagaati became a core musician of King Ayisoba’s band and it is already hard to imagine how the band sounded without this very talented young man. Not to be missed!
Support by Zea (NL)
Solo performance from Arnold de Boer (singer of punkband The Ex) deploying guitar and sampler for an almighty bout of high energy songs. Urgent energetic lyrics over guitar, roughshod beats and grimy bass lines. This is fat-free music with no words wasted; joyfully obstinate, wonderfully bonkers.
