Hello all! This coming Friday is most likely our last Rebel Up party of the year, and most likely also our last party at Antidote, if they close at the end of this year.
This Friday 15.12 , Rebel Up and HyperInstinct crews join forces for an amazing La Baraka #1 party at Antidote!
This party will act as a fundraiser for Palestine / Gaza, with a stand of screenprinting on tshirts/sweaters/bags etc > Bring your desired item with you! Also tapas snacks available all night (triangles/loempias). All benefits will be donated to the Palestinian cause. More information will be available at the Palestinian stand, run by crew from Brussels Against Genocide.
Lineup: Monstera Occulta B2B Skandal Baka G Rebel Up SebCat Kitoko Raql Drache Mumu B2B Julien
In the aftermath of the devastating earthquakes in the High Atlas region of Morocco, we will run a fundraiser relief action at Rebel Up for the next 2 weeks.
All digital purchases of below mentioned releases will be donated to the NGO Karama Solidarity, who are based here in Molenbeek around the block from where we are based. Karama means โdignityโ in arabic. The NGO is run by Brussels Moroccan citizens and volunteers and is active in Morocco and in the regions that have been hit the hardest.
Donations will be used to help victims in Morocco meet the most urgent needs immediately detected on the ground by Karamaโs teams. Currently, the victims need medical care, food but also resettlement. Hundreds of thousands of Moroccans of all ages no longer have a roof over their heads and have lost all or part of their families. Karama prefers purchases made locally, which require less logistics than imports and are less expensive and which also help the local economy.

Cheb Runner โ Tagnawit, the electronic gnawa EP by Moroccan producer Cheb Runner from Agadir with the Brussels gnawa maalem masters Driss Filali and Hicham Bilali. Last week, we found 10 last vinyl copies of Tagnawit tucked away in our stock. Better be quick to order as these are really the last vinyls! Also we lowered the price for the digital EP to 3โฌ, but paying more is very much appreciated for this fundraiser action. https://chebrunner.bandcamp.com/album/tagnawit-ep
The Marockin Brass project by Luc Mishalle, with Moroccan, Benin and Brussels musician focusing on gnawa and jazz. We lowered the price of the digital album to 4โฌ, paying more is again very much appreciated. Also we lowered the prices for the vinyl to 8โฌ and the CD for 6โฌ. https://lucmishallemarockinbrass.bandcamp.com/album/beats-pieces
This friday, a solidarity fundraiser event for Beirut in Recyclart.
6 Brussels DJ’s will donate their art to support the victims, NiXiE,Rebel Up SebCat, Deejay Kwak, Soumaya Phรฉline, DC Salas and Sara Dziri. Finally, to close gently, we will be guided by Mikhali, a young DJ from Beirut who has recently moved to Brussels.
Supporting the Remeil district which is located a couple of hundreds meters away from the harbour. This neighbourhood is the home of several major hospitals, several schools, studios of artists, a park for whom – prior to the events – the residents were fighting to save this rare green area of the town. The complicated political and economical situation makes it still hard to transfer funds to Lebanon and to identify associations clearly offering the guarantees that are required.
With the help of the team at Belgium for Lebanon – Belgiรซ voor Libanon – La Belgique pour le Liban, you can give your donation in confidence. This is a genuine civic work between Lebanese on location as well as the large diaspora network of the Lebanese diaspora living all around the globe.
Another way to contribute is to listen and buy Lebanese artists’ albums, via Bandcamp links (we put the link below), a great way of supporting them and discovering an outstanding music scene.
