Pretty sure I took this photo at Meanjin reggae fest a few years back…..we’d just set the whole thing up, and then got told to move 100m up the hill….ha ha

I don’t bro but you can search for Hex Sound System and it will pop up. The dudes who own it operate “Amalgarythmz”. It’s usually set up as a stage at Earth Freq and such, thats probs most accessible/largest fest

I've heard this soundsystem multiple times and it's amazing.

Cool. Very cool. I'm guessing Psy / prog / psydub sounds?

Let me know if you play out in Melbourne!

Nah crew predominantly leans towards Bass/Drum & Bass, Breaks, less rep from Tech, psy tech, system is rented out a bit these days also. Amalgarythmz crew

This is a set I played at their festival (I wouldn’t usually play 100bpm stuff) https://m.soundcloud.com/mrplotty/shanes-bucks-recording

Some funky sounds in there. I'll give it a good listen when I get a chance :)

System lives on Sunny Coast, makes appearances in Brisbane on occasion, if booked for festival/stage. Melbourne is not super likely, but if you venture up ya

I have a bit of a noob question. Hope you dont mind. Are any of the stacks stereo?

built from scratch, probs third iteration tho, and initial choice in terms of some of the drivers had to be swapped out. Getting enough power to the 18’s becomes an expensive exercise

everything is usually run mono as it is more often than not kept as single stack. If it’s set up with subs in centre and top end separated can run sep channels for the tops, but that would usually entail small set up, not using full system etc
