Josey Rebelle

Raised within Caribbean sound system culture, Josey Rebelle started DJing at 13, teaching herself to mix with records from her brother’s vinyl collection. Years of obsessive practice took her from bedroom sessions to the booth at London’s legendary Plastic People, and later to a decade-long run on Rinse FM. Today, she is recognised as one of the world’s most vital selectors. Rebelle’s sets are defined by motion. House mutates into jungle, dub collides with techno, tempos shift in an instant — but the energy never dips. Moving with total freedom across genres, she threads every turn with precision, pressure, and control. Whether in a darkened club or out in the open air, Josey Rebelle knows exactly how to lock into a dancefloor and lead it somewhere unexpected. On Thursday night at Melkweg for Dekmantel ’26, she takes dancers deeper into the afterhours.
