Background/vision

Born and raised in the Netherlands, France, the United States, the United Kingdom and several other countries, Risk Sound System (RSS) have grown out to produce and play their own eclectic sound they like to call Real House Music.

Driven by a strong longing for the true diverse spirit of dance music, founding member Michael Richters (of Club Risk fame) quickly gathered together some of his likeminded friends to start this fresh and innovative collective. Each of RSS’ members comes from a musically diverse background, which you’ll find is reflected in their live performances and productions. They don’t like to confine themselves to any boundaries; house, techno, electro, garage, it doesn’t matter what you call it. If it’s Real House Music, they’ll play it.

Members

The group’s core members include Michael Richters (dj/co-producer), John Agesilas (mc), Leroy Rey (dj), Chocolate Brown (dj) and Ro Achterberg (producer/techie), assisted by their friends and family, and everyone who supports their Real House Music.

Currently

Their first release “The Sound Is Yours” is already getting massive support from industry icons like Ron Carroll, Kerri Chandler, Josh Milan (Blaze), DJ Spen, K-Alexi and Dutch heroes like Benny Rodrigues and Ryan Marciano. The music video was shot in one of Amsterdam’s hottest clubs Jimmy Woo’s and can be seen on YouTube (see below). Its release is expected early on in 2008. Alongside their three original mixes, this club banger features remixes by house music legends Ron Carroll and Kerri Chandler!
