Aleksand Saya began his musical journey as an MC and beatmaker within sound systems on La Reunion island in de Indian ocean. Then he was carried by the essence of Maloya, the traditional music of La Reunion, which got him involved in a daring artistic quest by merging rhythms ancestral sounds of his native island with the modern sounds of hip- hop and electro. From this alchemy a sound is born that he calls his style M’Bass, where the vibrations of Maloya mix with the bass and deep and catchy syncopated beats.

The three Iraqi musicians of Babylon Trio arrived in Belgium in 2015 and 2016 as refugees of the political unrest in Iraq. Arkan Mushtak hails from Baghdad, where since his childhood he has been shaped into a talented keyboard/piano player by Iraqi master composer Noor Sabah. He is accompanied by fellow musicians Saif Al-Qaissy (digital percussion, djarbouka and backing vocals), Walaa Saad (vocals) and occasionally Mohammed Algareb (guest percussion). Together they play an electrified mix of contemporary Iraqi music styles, such as chobi chobi, dabke, maqam and electronic hybrids that put the dancefloor on fire. After the summer, the trio will release their debut album titled 'Habibi' on Brussels label Rebel Up Records, with the help of Rebel Up, NGHE, cultural venue Les Ateliers Claus and Angstrom studio in Brussels. This year will mark the rise of the contemporary Iraqi street sound throughout Belgium and beyond. Get ready for fire!

This song is just so yummy. I had to cover it. Thanks to Sean Lavelle for the percussion and bass.

Love Came Here (Lhasa De Sela Cover)

After +10 years of being a DJ collective and organisation, it was time to move to the next level and start releasing artists and music that we love. The goal of Rebel Up Records is to be a platform for artists from everywhere, native or diaspora. A big focus on contemporary ‘global’ traditional and electronic music to give various movements a voice that doesn't fit the 'world music' box. Sounds from the global underground is our motto! So far, we have releases from Ghana, Mexico/Brussels, Tunisia/Denmark and Iraq/Brussels, Morocco/Brussels, Portugal, Angola, the Arab diaspora, Peru, Bolivia, Brazil, and much more. Keep the fire burning!
