Rebel Up!: June 21st @ OCCII, A'dam

In this month's Rebel Up! Soundclash we again want to raise funds for Myanmar, as there still is a lot of help needed for the 100.000 homeless cyclone victims and a doubled donation would give more families a new start.Hopefully we can add extra loot to the proceedings of last month and make a firm donation. Look at the blog for info on the Myanmar Charity Group.
What about the music, maestro?.... we have a special guest!MARK GERGIS (USA) (of SUBLIME FREQUENCIES & POREST) will be bringing a killer (laptop) dj set filled with exotic cut-ups, asian chopchops and middle eastern collages, if not more. Expect some raw field recorded disco extravanganza! As we always play a lot of stuff from the Sublime Frequencies label, we feel very honoured that one of its contributors pays us a visit to play.And what else, our second traveller, VJ M, returns from his trip allover the Indian subcontinent! Through Pakistan and Iran, our VJ man will find his way back to Occii to take control of the visuals again and morph his road recordings at culture shock speed for your eyes only. One of our other faithful Rebel Up! dj's will be missing in action this time, being in Armenia for a full month of research and trekking in the Carpation mountains. Since our Polish guest Vega Selecta couldn't make it last time, he will step in to get some playtime alonside the usual Rebel Up! crew.We hope to see you on this all too special Saturday!all info on Mark Gergis and the night below.....
