Biografie
The SubVersion SoundSystem was founded by Welfare in 2011. He had been involved with sound systems since 2007, including being a founding member of anarchist SoundSystem "Electronic Resistance" in Dublin.
Taking inspiration from several independent sound operators around the country, he figured it was time to build up his own rig for the many events he was involved with at the time. Upon the purchase of several full-range boxes in 2011, the SubVersion SoundSystem was born.
Shortly afterwards he purchased half of what was formerly the 5lowershop Sound System from man like Binnie in Cork and the project moved to the next level with the addition of 2 custom built, Void designed X1s, Eliminator Mids and Dare Audio mid-tops.
In 2013 several "Hog Scoops" were added to the setup. The mighty bassbin is a high output hybrid loading bass cabinet designed by the renowned Open Source designer Staipe Ercegovic... these things go LOOOOW! Soon afterwards there were 4 little piggies in the family and a super high-power Jah Tubby amplifier pushing the boxes to their low-end limits.
In 2015, Welfare was joined by fellow underground crew Crux and Will Junglist. The 3 man crew have built the rig up significantly since, adding four 1850 horn loaded bassbins to bring the Bass section (alone) to almost 10,000 Watts of (RMS) power..
The build continues with Will Junglist cloning 3 more Dare Audio mid-tops to add that super sharp high-end needed to complement the monstrous bass. Two vintage double 12 inch Precision Devices loaded tops with flared horns were added to complete the by now hugely versatile midtop range.
The kick/mid bass level was further boosted in 2017 with the addition of 3 unique Jah Tubby boxes, also loaded with PD drivers, purchased from the mighty Rootical SoundSystem.
The Sound System in it's many forms has powered many fine gigs and events, and there has been nothing but smiles of satisfaction as those sweet subsonic waves massage the dance. They have had countless international push their music through it and have staged events nationwide. The Sound is explicitly an Anarchist & Antifascist SoundSystem & musically-wise specialises in electronic, bass-focussed music with Dubstep, Jungle & Drum & Bass at its core.
