FLYER_06_05

Time is Up to put on your shiniest shoes and prepare to move your legs in all kinds of directions,
On Saturday, the 4th of May Rebel Up! is back in Café De Vingerin The Hague to honor the return of the Sun (and the King, why not?) and deliver as usual our fittest sound from the global underground.
The deal is simple as usual, we ask you just a bit of money to help for one last time our friends from the Kenyan ONG Watoto Wa Baraka (more info available on  www.africanorphanage.org) and in exchange we guaranty to keep you dancing, smiling, mingling with fun people and just have a good time, like in a good friends party. It will groove for sure with Up and Down tempo from Africa, mashing guitars from Sahara, Brass bands from around the Mediterranean coasts and many rhythms from Brazil, Argentina y Columbia and the Caribbean. We’ll go crescendo to let you go in trance into heavy bass lines towards the end of our show.
Sweat promises…

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.

hey folks,

After 5 years of existence, Rebel Up! has decided to invade downtown Den Haag. this friday we will have our first Rebel Up! Soundclash night in Agga @ café De Vinger. your Rebel Up! dj´s Palm M & Sebcat will be joined by Dubcovsky (Kako Da Ne/Casa Babilon). The city will rise this time to the global sound and fury of 3 stubborn DJs :

Sebcat (Be/NL) – The man has travelled and brought back loads of music from the outside world. He’ll introduce tribal and transcendental, Hi and Lo-fi tunes to your body n ears. anything goes from slow Greek Rebetika to swinging Nu Cumbia, vintage Ghanaian records, electro folk from the Sahel, Hausa autotune pop and unreleased Shangaan electro and much much more hotness….

Dubcovski (NL) – The guy has already worked its magic around the Netherlands but its main outpost is Utrecht where he and his kinds conflagrate various venues with their Neo Folk, Abstract Balkan waves. If you haven’t sweat all your fluids on the dancefloor yet. Be prepared to shake it madly with him. The trumpet flow never stops just like in Kusturica’s.

Palm M (Fr/NL) A French dude with a flair for good refreshing songs like Haïtian biguine, Surinamese hits, a slice of Brazilian new scene and some hidden tracks to clash as hell with his friends on stage.

Friday 14 Sept
Doors: 20:00 – 2:00h, free in before 23:00, 3€ after
@ De Vinger, Den haag

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.
http://www.lobifiri.com

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!
http://soundcloud.com/unsoundbwoy

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!
