GIZELLE (aka Rebel Yelle) has been spinning all things Acid, House & Techno since the acid house explosion hit London at the end of the 80’s.

Gizelle's DJ journey began playing funk & soul music in a bar in Deptford, but when she first experienced the sound and energy of acid house music in the summer of 1988 her musical direction changed overnight. Her first major gig was playing acid house & balearic beats as resident DJ for the ‘Asylum’ parties in south east London and for the ‘Cooz’ parties in north London, warming up for legends Mr C, Evil Eddie Richards and Shock Sound System. 

But it was in the mid-90’s when more musical connections took place. In 1994 she met Sexy Rubber Soul at Brazen Radio, an all female community radio project in London, and from there was invited to play for the Zero Gravity second birthday party event in Hackney. This was a major turning point where people were actively coming together, connecting and taking right action through music and creativity. So from this, Gizelle became involved with the Zero Gravity collective parties and through this scene she also linked up with the Liberator DJ’s and Lawrie Immersion, who invited her to first DJ on the Immersion Sound System at the squatted Cool Tan arts centre in Brixton. After this first event, she began playing out every weekend on Immersion at underground free parties, in and around London, and soon became a strong female component and force behind the decks playing alongside comrades Chris Liberator, Aaron, Liberator, Julian Liberator, DDR, Guy 'Geezer' McGaffer, Dave The Drummer, Ant, Zebedee and many more, delivering the new London acid techno sound coming out of the underground party scene at those times.

In the late 90's, she joined the ‘Stay Up Forever’ collective, producing acid techno under the guise of ‘Rebel Yelle’, DJ'ing all over the UK & worldwide, and running the ‘Antidote’ record label whilst working in music distribution, exporting SUF Acid & Techno labels and then as production Manager for a collective vinyl pressing plant, formed by members of the underground techno scene. 

Over the years she has constantly explored dance music and experimented with different styles of acid and techno styles, as well as house and breaks.  She is still passionate about the underground dance music scene, its creativity and the diverse community it brings together. Over the years, she has developed her sound encompassing new styles of Acid House and Techno, alongside more experimental and wonky electronic sounds, together with breakbeat, house and reggae, as well as the everlasting classic acid house and old skool sounds from the roots of rave culture.

Gizelle has played worldwide in places such as Russia, Japan, Venezuela, Brazil, Australia, USA, Holland, Spain, Poland, Belgium, Bulgaria and all over the UK. Over the years, she has also played festivals such as: Glastonbury, Boomtown, Maui Waui, Illusive, No Mans Land and Surplus Fest.

2013-2017 Gizelle broadcast the successful monthly REBEL YELLE SHOW on Optical Radio. Each month she invited fellow established DJ’s and Producers from the London underground party scene to guest on the show, exploring the sound of the underground and different styles including Acid House, Acid Techno, Techno, Old Skool Acid House & Rave and Breakbeat. Gizelle Rebel Yelle has also played as a guest DJ on various independent radio stations such as Pure Radio (Holland), Report To The Dancefloor (Greece), FNOOB (UK), Live in Hackney Show on Techno FM (UK) and Reels Rebel Radio (UK).
