RiseUp SoundSystem 3.11

Reppin’ the dirty south - Cork City Ireland - the RiseUp! Soundsystem was born out of two things: a need for high quality sound with a bass rumble to fire up the dance; and a strong respect for soundsystem culture and craft.
Operated by Conor Jonezy, the RiseUp! Soundsystem has its origins in the club night of the same name, which brought the highest profile names in bass music to Cork such as Mala, Loefah DBridge and Objekt to Cork. RiseUp! helped lay the foundations of the underground scene there today.
A reggae-head since he was a kid, Jonezy always had an interest in soundsystem culture and wanted to build his own. So in 2012, the research began and by 2014 the first Riseup! Sound speakerboxes were being cut from Scandinavian birch ply with support from Jonezy’s Dad (Tom Jones) – a trained chippy.
In 2016, RiseUp! Sound began to power gigs around the country, including a series of now imfamous dances at the Kino Cinema, Cork.
Today it comprises 6 bins, 6 mids and 4 tops, with a total rated output of 16kw. 2 bins, 2 mids and 2 tops are soon to be added.
