Riseup is a club night started in cork in 2010 Reppin’ the dirty south - Cork City Ireland - the RiseUp! Operated by Conor Jonezy, the RiseUp! 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. 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. 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.

RiseUp! Is back next month with Dublin DJ,label boss, promoter and all round legend EMA !!
EMA is a key torchbearer for a new generation of global bassniks, embodying community rave values through a love of low end frequencies from her home of Dublin.
Her work as a DJ, founder of label/party Woozy, booker for Dublin nightclub Yamamori Tengu, Rinse FM resident and co-founder of the Skin&Blister collective is exhaustive, highlighting a relentless work ethic that has inspired a foundational infrastructure for her and those in her orbit to prosper.
Operating as a conduit to the on-going mutations of low-end futurism, EMA’s selections warp rhythmic advances around a respected tradition in sub weight. Rigorously informed by the foundational lineage of dub-inspired club music, she encompasses not only the sounds but also the unity mentality of her influences. Her application of this ethos to mix crafting is sensational, pairing evocative wub narratives with a penchant for screw-face bass anthems. It’s an undeniable gift, evident in EMA’s monthly residency on Rinse FM, celebrated mixes for Crack Magazine, Ransom Note and Melbourne Deepcast, notable appearances at Fabric London, Corsica Studios, Printworks, NYC’s Public Records and the Arcadia Stage at All Together Now festival, multiple broadcast for Boiler Room and The Lot Radio and the co-hosting Keep Hush’s inaugural Irish stream with Woozy.
Founded in 2020, Woozy is EMA’s label and party series celebrating the sounds and DJs of modern soundsystem culture. 5 releases deep, including three various artist compilations plus solo EPs from Coe and Sha Ru, and many parties hosted has seen her form a remarkable community around the values she wears so proudly on her sleeve.
Support on the night from Ar Ais Aris duo Rob Rua and Hannah Hession .
We’re doubling the usual soundsystem in the Spalpin for this one! 📣📣📣
Still a couple of early bird tickets left, link
