Rebel Up Soundclash, saturday 20th of October :

Hi there all,

Thanks for coming out last time, lots of new faces and a good atmosphere to boot!

On Saturday the 20th we will return with more global fun as ever, lucky #7 eh!
This night marks a temporary last party for 2 of of our Rebel Up nomads, as they will pack their bags, burn everything behind them and set off to India for 6 months. So feel free to come and wave them goodbye with the white handkerchief. We are hoping to open up earlier this time around 21 ish to have a prolonged leaving party, which means more partytime and sweatiness for you!

There will be a special live performance by Malorix, who will play his broken beats alongside sounds of Bollywood queens, Berber kings and distorted Arabic pop shamboozle. The mishmash never stops (www.malorix.nl). Also, we'll be joined by Rotterdam nomad Roberto from the deep end of global sounds. This time we have lured him away from his radio show, here and here, to be with us in the flesh. yay.

Proceedings of the night will go to a charity still to named. We do are looking eastwards, with our eyes set on either a Nepalese, Bangladeshi or Indian organisation. We hope to know more by next week and fill you in about their social cause.

Hope to see you!

No worry though about the future, Rebel Up will steadily continue and new folks will step in to help the crew to keep the flame burning.
Next Rebel Up, possibly november 24th...stay tuned.

Ok below, you know the drill, the info bit... pass it on to friends and all, the word of mouth and touch of send button really helps us.

Rebel Up! Soundclash, 29th of September

Hi there all,

Hope you had a good summer and fresh start to the new study and working year.

On Saturday the 29th we will organize yet another night of global fun. The end of summer sadly looms, but don't return to your desks or classes before you can enjoy yourself at Rebel Up! This time we don;t have a live guest and our French nomad will bring in some new sunshined faces to play with him, since the Belgian clochard is missing this night.

We will again donate our nightly profits to War On Want as last time we didn't raise a decent amount. They are an organisation that fights global poverty in diverse campaigns. Our eyes are on Western Sahara, where the cause of the Saharawi people who have been living in exile for 30 years now. They are forced to live in badly conditioned camps, where water is scarce and the standard of life is far below a healty level. For more info see www.waronwant.org

Keep your change at hand....any donation is a sweet gesture!

More info, sounds and such can be found on our blog

next Rebel Up! Soundclash (#5), 25th of August

Hi there,

Our last Rebel Up! party with Maga Bo on the 29th of June was a complete success and the OCCII was fully packed. Big thanks to all of you for being there and making it such a
fun-tastic brilliant night! Also the Igitego Inyange organisation wants to thank you for your support through donations!!!

On Saturday the 25th we will organize yet another night of global fun. The end of summer sadly looms, but don't return to your desks or classes before you can enjoy yourself at Rebel Up! This time we have no special live guest, though other musical nomads will always drop by unexpectedly and play their special selections. Perhaps our French nomad could bring back some surprises with him.

We have selected War On Want as the donation destination for the proceedings of the night. They are an organisation that fights global poverty in diverse campaigns and projects. Our eyes are fixed on the unrecognised state of Western Sahara, for the cause of the Saharawi people who have been living in exile for over 30 years now. They are forced to live in badly conditioned camps, where water is scarce and the standard of life is far below a healty level. For more info see http://www.waronwant.org/

Keep your change at hand....any donation is a sweet gesture!

Next soundclash Friday 29th of June, with Maga Bo Live!

Hi there,

Big thanks to the handfull of wonderful people who came out on the 25th of May, despite it being a hot day and night, and still created a good atmosphere!

We will have another Rebel Up! Soundclash on Friday the 29th of June, which promises to be an even better one. Especially since we will have a special live guest: Maga Bo, all the way from Rio de Janeiro and currently touring Europe bringing his *Transnational Bass sound*!

We will again have the Igitego Inyange organization as our charity for this night, as we didn't raise much last time around due to the low turnout. So, let's give it another chance! Keep your coins, small change or bigger notes ready...any donation is a sweet gesture! See further project information in previous posts.
