Review: Sousa/Schmidt
The Israeli/danish dj-duo Sousa/Schmidt went mostly for the younger part of the crowd with their love towards the clubbing culture. They coloured the Hummel stage putting forward a style of sexy and groovy house beats mixed with techno probably partly using their experience from setting up parties around Copenhagen.
David Sousa and Mads Schmidt are two [...]
Review: The Kissaway Trail
They have hit something quite special. Their music structure combines aesthetic artrock with an indie approach and tops it with the two leadsinging vocals of Søren B. Corneliussen and Thomas L. Fagerlund. That resulted in a great debut album in 2007 and took them even higher on a mature well structured organic piece released this [...]
Review: Thee Attacks
Thee Attacks
Its really quite simple. Put a foursome on stage equipped with a classic rock’n roll setup and strong resemblances to the likes of 60s stars as the Kinks, The Who and The Rolling Stones then you got a great start. But then add the high voltage kick ass aint-satisfied-till-you-dance mentality that Thee Attacks [...]
Rocking hummel
At ArtRebels, we shy away from the word “trend,” as it lacks individuality and is far too fickle. That said, we couldn’t help but notice that hummel seemed to be rocking Trailerpark the last two nights. Or better said, those sporting hummel seemed to rocking Trailerpark the last two nights. We even spotted a few pieces from [...]
Review: Fallulah
All right, it is Saturday night here at TrailerPark, and I just heard Fallulah play. It was my second time. The first was about one year ago, before all the hype. Some things have changed since then, the shy attitude displayed by lead singer Maria Apetri between songs, seem to have vanished, but her rock [...]
Review: Jessie Evans! A declaration of Love…
Heay seriously, how awesome is Jessie Evans? There has been a slow hype building around her amongst the Trailerpark crew since monday – everybody putting her at the top of their must-see list with that knowing nod and sly smile that usually means “this is going to melt your brain”. And right from the start, [...]
Trailerpark 2010 Crowd Surfing
Sunday. Last day of TRAILERPARK 2010. & If anything is true, it is that the people who visit TRAILERPARK are nice. & not only are they soooo nice – they are also way too good looking. I spent most of my early evening yesterday recovering from my severe hangover & that allowed me to dedicate [...]
Review: Qui le fuck est Raz Ohara?
Who? Browsing through the Trailerpark catalogue I stumbled upon this, to me, incognito guy. Not a wealth of information on his music, mostly a link to a 20min live set. And a caveat – ‘one not to miss!’ Listening to the live set I decided to take the Trailerparkers up on that. Not the worst [...]
Review: Getting Rework’d
The German Trio Rework took to the stage Saturday evening before 12. With them came a promise. To fire up the crowd with their sinister grooved out electro universe. And oh yes they got the crowd fired up!
What began as an inspiring excursion into Rework territory, slowly erupted into what can best be described as [...]
Dreamy frames
The main stage of this year’s TrailerPark is decorated by lovely design-duo Hvass&Hannibal. Most of you probably know these ladies in a 2-dimentinal form, as their graphic design, with its characteristic expression, has been a fresh kick to the visual communication for a while now.
What they did for us this year, they did in wood [...]
BACKSTAGE REPORT #2
Here are a few random stills from Saturday…
I’ve been too busy to really capture the backstage-vibe in some good photos but I can tell you that things went amazing yesterday. We had learned from our mistakes Friday (No girls sneaking in the window!) and most of the artists (if not all) were extreamly happy (and [...]
Review: Round Table Knights
When we saw Round Table Knights at this year’s Sonar Festival in Barcelona, we were assured that this booking would never fail. Their recent critically acclaimed EP Calypso/Drop the Dow has been received with open arms from DJ’s around the world.
Round Table Knights has been on a journey from a small Swiss province to some [...]
Review: Chllngr
Remember the words I am saying to you now.
So he sang, and so we do. Chllngr, aka. Steve Borth, delivered bass and rhythms to be remembered. Both ears and eyes were challenged by the multiinstrumentalist and his mix of genres from dubstep to reggae performed on a Mac, a mixer and a magic baryton saxophone [...]
Review: Rosa Lux
Rosa Lux has been around the block for quite some time now. She began her career as a DJ in 2002 and has since then marked her as one of few long lasting names in the Copenhagen electronic underground. Rosa Lux is educated in classical music but released her first single Ven Igen on Nightology [...]
Bustin’ moves at the Prinzhorn Dance School
It’s a quater-to-eight o’clock shocker
It’s a formidable challenge to be second-day party primer. To knock the necessary holes in the alcohol haze from the night before, and to pick up the slack. It needs to be executed with a gentle but firm hand: Too fast and the crowd will be run down. Too slow and [...]
Trailerpark streetstyle, day 2
Many cool and happy people showed up at Trailerpark Festival on friday, and tonight certainly wasn’t disappointing either! Check out fashionable rebels from Trailerpark, saturday.
Volunteers Rock Trailerpark 2010 Part II
Yesterday it all came together. & boy oh boy, did it come together! TRAILERPARK FESTIVAL 2010 opened & all the hard work put into building the festival this week, was rewarded with a completely & entirely FULL HOUSE of shiny, happy people. The skatepark was transformed into a creative, colorful playground full of musical adventures [...]
Trailerparking Saturday
So we pretty much survived last nights blast of an evening. & today the sun has been shining lovingly down on the Trailerpark Festival warming our hungover rebel hearts & heads for some more fabulous trailerparkloving tonight.
People have been coming in early today & even before the sun went to bed, the yard was allready [...]
Trailerpark Day 1
First day at Trailerpark was such a blast! Even though the weather didn’t behave quite as decent as one could have wished for, the showers didn’t curb the excitement among the festival-goers. Everyone was having a good time and the overall atmosphere was very warm and welcoming with children playing amongst the dancing crowds. As [...]
Review: Renaissance Man
You do believe in a hype when the likes of Crystal Fighers, Florence & The Machine, Health and The xx are involved. Renaissance Man has been highly sought after remixers after they released one of this year’s greatest hits What is Guru on an EP from the Parisian label Sound Pellegrino. In addition they released [...]
Review: Pattern Repeat
It is weird that a duo can be categorized as upcoming when they’ve already released four 12″. Nevertheless, that is the case with Pattern Repeat. But having already played clubs like Berghain in Berlin and Fabric in London, the two danish guys have been given the seal of approval and are now more than ready [...]
Review: De Lijm
Danish Kasper Bisgaard better known as De Lijm has made quite a name of himself in the Copenhagen music-underground recently. By booking some of the most interesting indie-act-goes-big-through-massive-hype-on-music-blogs such as Toro Y Moi, Japandroids and Wavves to play in Denmark, his music taste and influence on the live scene is not to be ignored.
De Lijm [...]
Review: Black Kitty
The two gentleladies Eif and Fedtysent are well known for different dj-acts in the Copenhagen nightlife. They have now combined their talent as skilled party makers and formed Black Kitty. Friday night they did what they do best at Trailerpark Festival – play.
Though most of the Trailerpark crowd had gathered inside to take in the [...]
Review: House of Moves
A cool breeze did hit the festival spot, just before House of Moves entered the outdoor stage saturday. But the daring duo didn’t need any weather-Gods to warm up the hangovered crowd. With a heavy beatboost breaking sounds all from indian chillout to crispy oldschool, House of Moves started a perfectly groovy engine of yet [...]
Trailerpark streetstyle, day 1
The festival kicked off with a bang yesterday. People were happy, the rain stayed away and the music was mesmerizing. The audience had a blast, and so did we whilst shooting pictures. Check out some of the rebellious and lovely people at Trailerpark Festival, friday.
Review: Low-slung basslines with Boody B
Long time ArtRebels friend and Trailerpark stalwart Boody B kicked us off on a saturday where sunglasses have become de rigueur – partly because of the hangovers, partly because the sun is finally out. Where some would have pandered to the alcohol induced frailty of a second-day festival crowd that gave it their all yesterday, [...]
BACKSTAGE REPORT #1

Hello world! Here’s a quick backstage report from this year’s Trailerpark Festival!
Trailerpark Festival officially began last night at 6pm but long before the audience were let in on the festival grounds, the first artists arrived and more kept checking in all day, which ment we had our hands full making sure [...]
