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..

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)

Thanks all you Utrecht folks for coming to our previous Rebel Up! cumbia party in sept.
It was a great success with a good global vibe! Up to another global dance night @ Vechtclub!
This night will have a much different sound than last time’s cumbia clash. Expect to get some fresh baile funk electro & tecnobrega live action from Brasil and shaking afrobeat funk and hiphop from Tanzania & Kenya!
João Brasil hails from Rio de Janeiro, but lives in London since a few months. He plays live electronically sampled music from Brasil; baile funk (Rio style hiphop electro), tecnobrega (dancepop from Brasil do Norte) and cut up ‘montagems’ of various Brazilian styles.
September surely was a big & busy month for us. Big thanks to all who came to our Incubate night, Utrecht & A’dam shows! Hope you enjoyed the nights 🙂
Our set @ Incubate was quite a fierce, timed in 45 mins, where we went heavy on the kufana, african electronics, ragga riddims and arabic digitalism. Good fun, sure we had good fun too in our catty & elephant maskerade. Our brothers-in-sound DJ UMB, João Brasil, Pinchado, Process Rebel, Filastine & MC Nova and Malorix all delivered class sets. It only was a pity that Malorix had tech problems cut his set short.
Followed by the cumbia Rebel Up! night in Utrecht. Before we had no clue as to how many people would come out. DJ Tommi kicked off the night by spinning some crafty nueva cumbia along the Argentinian sounds of ZZK and some Mexican fire to have the first people dancing. People slowly started pouring in, more women than men! Nice to realise that also in Utrecht our night is not male orientated but in a healthy, overly female, balance that a made up for a good atmosphere. By 1am the Vechtclub suddenly was filled with a lot of people and DJ Pinchado started his laptop set, playing all his favorite cumbia rhythms from obscure 60’s & 70s chicha, Columbian classico’s and much much more. Not everybody could follow the heavy thrust of the cumbia as it’s a tough latino one and it still has to sink into the psyche of the Utrecht party people. Give it more time and people surely will shout for more. The Rebel Up! dj’s took over and went into mixed cumbia-african-riddim spheres to give the night a more global sound. Tiki Klazien closed off the night with a tropicalia-tastic set of old swing jazz & tiki sounds. -Stay tuned for the next Utrecht Rebel Up! night on Friday 23rd of october!-
Last weekend we had the A’dam Rebel Up! party. Again with good buddy DJ Pinchado but also with the amazing 4 piece band Los Siquicos Litoraleños. Our Rebel Up! dj’s shaped the night into cumbia ‘n’ latino punkrocky spheres and just after midnight the Siquicos went on. The members were dressed in space cowboy & cyber indigina outfits and their crazy Chamame/cumbia/gaucho songs held inbetween folk, punk & lofi trash rock that entertained the crowd. Perhaps not an easy sound to dance to, but surely it was a bizarre Argentine rock show as never experienced before :). Pinchado went on straight after them and played a variety of Argentinea cumbia villera & dub versions and classico’s. The people in the OCCII were much more up for cumbia than at our Utrecht night, because a lot of them were South American folks from Argentina, Chile, Ecuador etc. who just couldn’t get enough of the crazy cumbia villera rhythms. It went on late , another excellent Rebel Up! party @ OCCII done & gone.
Thanks to all for being there on any or many of the nights, see you next time at one of our good fun nights! 🙂

*English version below*
Omdat de herfst stilaan nadert, organiseert Rebel Up! Soundclash een heuse tropische dansavond in Utrecht! Het warme karakter van het ecologisch geknutselde Vechtclub theater zal perfect passen voor de sfeer van deze avond.
DJ Pinchado (Julio Lozano) komt uit Buenos Aires en is geboren en getogen in de ruige havenwijk La Boca, de thuishaven van lokale voetbalclub Boca Juniors en ook geboorteplaats van de elegante Tango. Op deze avond niks van dat, maar wel vette cumbia. De sensuele cumbia is nu superpopulair in Zuid Amerika door een lichting van jonge artiesten die knutselen met deze oude volksstijl. In Argentinië specialiseren artiesten zich met experimentele geluiden, waaraan hiphop, dub en electronica wordt toegevoegd. Pinchado’s geluid hangt tussen dubby sferen en electronische kitsch in als een zeer dansbare cocktail! Verwacht een speciale live/dj set met de allernieuwste dansmuziek uit Buenos Aires. !QUE CALOR!
De internationale crew van Rebel Up! DJ’s & VJ’s zullen door de avond heen zorgen voor speelse tropische geluiden en visuele kunsten die naar Argentijnse en Zuid Amerikaanse sferen zullen knipogen. De Utregse global dj DJ Tommi (Fuerza/Balkan Beatz) zal de avond openen waarbij hij zijn cumbia hart zal laten bonzen met flinke danskrakers. Tiki Klazien zal volgen met een lekker speciale set van tiki cocktail sounds in tropicalia sferen.
Zoals altijd op onze avonden vinden wij het belangrijk om mensen globaal bewust te maken en het ondersteunen van ontwikkelingsprojecten. Er zal een donatie box staan voor Stichting Ombú, een Argentijns georienteerde organisatie die lokale Argentijnse organisaties helpt met het verbeteren van levensomstandigheden in de armste sloppenwijken. Meer info @ www.stichtingombu.nl
Verpreid het woord, nodig al je vrienden, collega’s en medestudenten uit en kom meefeesten!

DJ Pinchado (Julio Lozano) hails from Buenos Aires and is born and raised in the old harbour area of La Boca, home to local footie club Boca Juniors and birthplace of the elegant tango. None of that tango twisting tonight, but some seriously heavy cumbia! The sensual cumbia has become popular once again throughout all of South America and reason for this is a fresh wave of young artists who experiment with this old afro-influenced folk style. In Argentina a lot of artists have started creating experimental cumbia sounds, where dub, hiphop and electronica is added to this hefty stew. Pinchado’s special sound floats inbetween dubby spheres and electronic Boca beats as a very danceable cocktail! Excpect a live/dj set with the freshest dance music from Buenos Aires. !QUE CALOR!
The international Rebel Up! DJ & VJ crew (BE/FR/NL/AR) will add their crafty tropical sounds and colourful visuals to this South American adventure throughout the night. The night will be kicked off by local Utrecht spinner DJ Tommi (Fuerza/Balkan Beatz) who will let his cumbia heart beat for you and play some jumping tunes. Tiki Klazien will follow up with a tasty set of tiki cocktail sounds that take you into pure tropicalia spheres. yay yay!
On our nights, we always find it important to create global awareness and so we support development projects and charities. There will be a donation box for Stichting Ombú, a Dutch organisation forcussed on Argentina which helps local Argentinian organisations to improve conditions in the poorest shantytowns.
