Sat. 25 Aug; Rebel Up! Soundclash > afro caribbean night with Lobi Firi (NL/SR) & Unsoundbwoy (AU)

Posted on August 21, 2012 by Rebel Up

Hello all!

Hope you had a good summer holiday where it might have taken you. Oh boy, it’s been roasty warm and sunny here the last few weeks. Time for another Rebel Up! Soundclash and we’ll keep it hot with some tropical Afro-Caribbean action with live Surinami band Lobi Firi and Ozzie global guest dj Unsoundbwoy from Melbourne.

Surinami band Lobi Firi will play their very special kaseko funk and kawina sound, impossible not to dance til you sweat! The band will start around midnight, so get in on time.

Unsoundbwoy will play a grinding selection between heavy dancehall and african electronic dance music, kuduro and more. Check some of his excellent mixes and mashups!

And the some, ofcourse the Rebel Up! dj’s will never miss out on a good Soundclash party. Expect a steady selection of unknown global tunes filled with sweet melodies for the ear or bouncing bass for the body. Watch out that you don’t get wrongfooted playing hopscotch with these onorthodox boy scouts.

Any profit on the night will go to NGO Bhakti Luhur in Eastern Java, which takes care of handicapped children. One of the aid workers is a dutchman who runs the excellent Madrotter Treasure Hunt blog, all about Indonesian pop, rock and folk music.

See ya there!

Zaterdag 7 november @ Vechtclub; Rebel Up! Soundclash Polska Rootz avond

Posted on October 28, 2009 by Rebel Up

Rebel Up Utrecht November 7

Op Zaterdag en Zondag 7-8 november staat de Culturele Zondag in Utrecht volop in het teken van Niemandsland; het 20 jarige jubileum rondom de Val van de Berlijnse Muur. Het begint zaterdagavond al met een zeer ruim en gratis uitgaansprogramma door de hele stad om in goede Berlijnse sferen te raken. Natuurlijk doet de Vechtclub ook mee, dat door zijn speciale lokatie en doe-het-zelf mentaliteit toch zeker wel een verstopt stukje Berlijn is in Utrecht!

Op deze Rebel Up! Soundclash avond richten wij ons op het Berlijnse Eastblok Music label, dat zich specialiseert in nieuwe Oost Europese muziek uit lokale alternatieve scenes.

Het thema *Polska Rootz* is een doorsnee van de huidige roots-reggae muziek uit Polen zoals deze stijlvol door nieuwe artiesten vermengd wordt met Poolse volksmuziek, klezmer, drum’n’bass en elektronica. Onder de naam *Polska Rootz Soundsystem* zal DJ Zonic, alias labelbaas Alexander Pehlemann, optreden met een vernieuwende roots reggae set van pure Poolse makelij. Ook zal de in Amsterdam woonachtige Poolse dj Vega Selecta een set komen spelen in Poolse roots sferen zoals men nog niet zal kennen. De rest van de avond zal worden volgespeeld door de lokale Utrechtse kollektiefjes van Rebel Up! en Kako Da Ne die samen een eigenzinnige weg in geluid door Polen en de rest van Oost Europa zullen banen.

Zowiezo is de entree SUPERCHEAP deze avond; gratis/1 eurootje! (als vrijwillige bijdrage)

Open: 22:00 tot 04:00

Place: Vechtclub, Overvecht-Zuid;

Brailledreef 9 (naast winkelcentrum Overvecht)
