This friday night 26th @ Theater Kikker in Utrecht, there´s a super awesome NON WESTERN UNDERGROUND CLUB NIGHT organised by Impakt Festival, where we will play a special contextual Rebel Up! DJ/VJ set.

The concept of this year´s Impakt festival is *No More Westerns*, roughly translated to the western influence outside the west (or ofcourse vice versa!) and this night will be all about the musical and visual side of this. Expect a night that’s action packed with currents of transglobal clubscenes. Here´s the flow > >

Non-Western Shoot out: The Musical > A Mexican stand off with DJ Lonely (Jonas Ohllson), Dubcovsky (Friso Wiersum) and Chief Boima (Boima Tucker): DJ battle with context.

Chief Boima > > solo set by Sierra Leonean-American musician, DJ, cultural activist, and writer currently based in New York who combines a diverse array of global styles from Coupe Decale, Cumbia, Kuduro to Champeta.

We´ll play last from 1:00 til 3:00, expect a musical travel from the 60´s to current times with styles such as psychedelic Indonesian pop, Thai rock, Turkish garage n dubstep, Iranian technopop, Indian filmy songs, Saharan autotune, African electronic styles such as Coupé Décalé, Shangaan electro and much much more..
