hola folks,

Time for the last Rebel Up! Soundclash of the year just before the  festive season, this one a pure global dance night co-hosted with the Bomb Diggy crew and a good supply of guests;

Crowdkrushers (DE)
This German global crew from Tubingen is run by the 3 musketeering dj’s Jack Smillin, Mad Mation and Deejay Caustic who have coined their signature as Heavyweight Steppas Sound, which spans many styles from roots reggae to dancehall, afrobeat, global bass and more electronic styles. Bound to make you bounce!
Makina (AR, A’dam)
This Argentinian pibe co-hosts the Cumbia (Fantastica) & TropiTech nights in A’dam and enjoys mixing cumbia & global electronic music. he has released 2 Ep’s: POTRO and GRINGAS. We’ll be hearing the most fresh tropical sounds of south america to make you go ay-ay-ay!
Café de Calaveras (aka dj Tommi)
not a stranger to alternative global music circles anymore, being resident of the Balkan Beatz nights, various nights in Melkweg and sets at Lowlands festival, this man is an insatiable dj-holic who now plays under his Cafe de Calaveras moniker where he remixes global sounds into gipsycumbia, arabdubstep, balkankuduro and beyond.
Bomb Diggy crew (Hollandia)
Wine your waist and let your inner beast roam free with these ambassadors of tropical bass. Dancefloor wildlife! Everything from kuduro to cumbia to moombahton, dancehall, soca, dubstep, tropical house and electro-ethnic styles that are today’s new club sound. Embrace tropical bass with these ambassadors!
Rebel Up! crew (BE/FR/NL)
Your hosts are always busy out looking to amaze you with newly found sounds, from obscure electro-dancehall from urban Peru to kitsch 80’s electropop from Iranians in exile, roughest tecno-folk from Syria or the sweetest swinging songs from mother Africa, Rougher sounds from the global underground!
Charity matters > this night we will work hand to hand with a local association called Watoto Wa Baraka which means ‘children of blessings’ in Swahili. They have founded two orphanages in Kenya and are now trying to build a school in a rural part of the country. Just know that the entrance benefits will go to them and that if you’re willing to give more, you are welcome. www.africanorphanage.org

Time for another Rebel Up! session at Recyclart!
We are co-hosting this special African/Ethiopian night with the good Recyclart folks as part of a concert night with Ukandanz and Zea for whom we are playing support with eastern African and other modern African tunes.

Zea (Arnold de Boer, The Ex) will kick off the night with some of his eclectic African inspired punkrock songs with electronic effects and samples between Delta blues, Ghanese riffs, Ethiopian electrofolk and gabba beats.

uKanDanZ is a French-Ethiopian outfit that plays some serious electrified folky punkjazz with Asnake Guebreyes on vocals (from the late Mohammed Jimmy Mohammed band). Pure energy spiritualised with emotional drives to make the crowd go wild and shiver in Ethiopian dance stylee. Listen to their new album on Deezer and check out the video >

As always with Rebel Up! hosted nights, a part of the proceedings will go to a NGO project, in this case the Ethiopia-project of The Ex/Zea in the capital Addis Abeba where they support a music school for blind and handicapped children and other programmes. You can also make a donation at the bar if you like.

Keep in mind; it’s a concert night and not a late dance night, so do come early enough. doors 21:00, just 5€ in, full info on Recyclart site.
