Rise Afterhours
Rise was born of exuberant optimism. Despite the city of Boston's vehement opposition to after-hours socializing, a duo of committed people current owners Tom Beaulieu and Darrin Morda conceived of the idea of a safe and comfortable place to dance all night. Against all odds, they believed in the possibility of positive change and then worked together to make that change real. The very existence of Rise is a testament to the power of optimism, consistent great underground house music to be heard in Boston, and one of the best vibes in Boston's clubs period! It's also known for it's diversity in it's clientele, although all sharing 1 common passion; great underground beats w/an energy as phenomenal as it's sound system upstairs and friendly chill lounge downstairs.

Here's what some of the industry's finest have to say about Boston's only after-hours club...
"Rise in Boston is, for me, one of the most important clubs in North America right now. It is the complete opposite of all the glammed-up, bottle-service clubs that have spread like wildfire. The emphasis is on the music, the loyal customers who attend, the sound, etc etc. All the things that I feel are so important, yet are so sadly neglected in way too many places these days. It's always a pleasure to play at Rise - I know I'll be given the best platform to do what I do to the best of my ability, in one of the friendliest and most welcoming of environments."
Danny Howells
Dig Deeper, UK
"Rise is one of those rare places. A home for DJs to take people somewhere special. The lights, the sound, the people. It all adds up to an experience that is unique to Rise. I love DJing there, I wish there were more places like it."
Josh Gabriel
Organized Nature, SF
"Rise is without a doubt one of my favorite clubs to play in the US. From the owners to the DJs to the clubbers, you can feel that there's real love for this special place. And it's a pleasure and an honor to be part of that."
Tom Stephan/Superchumbo
ChumboMundo, Nervous, UK
"Rise is the best dance music experience Boston can offer. I've been playing at Rise since it's beginning 10 years ago and the vibe has always been incredible. The main room upstairs is all about high-energy interaction between the crowd and the DJ, and the downstairs lounge is a beautiful place for intermission. Rise is easily one of my favorite gigs to play anywhere in the world."
Steve Porter

"RISE in Boston is a very unique place to play. A great crowd, vibe and energy. Definitely my favorite spot to play in Boston."
Peter Rauhofer

"I love RISE! From the moment you walk in you feel the vibe of the place. The crowd is great. They're real music lovers and very appreciative on the dance floor. Great DJ booth, great sound, all in all a very nice venue indeed. I thoroughly enjoyed playing there!!"
Martijn Ten Velden
Toolroom, Defected, NL
"As a dj who travels every week and is used to seeing many venues, Rise has definitely become my favorite club to play and showcase my talent and new music. What set's Rise apart is it's passionate crowd which translates into the best parties, talent, and overall experience for the DJ's. Most clubs have massive revenues from liquor and high admission fees but Rise does not. It is solely kept alive by its owner and staff who are dedicated to giving the best clubbing experience possible. This is why the patrons keep coming back week after week."
Richie Santana
*69, Pacha NYC Resident DJ
"RISE club is the best dance club spot in Boston. I truly wish that all the clubs were managed with the same love, passion, and attitude... Lately the music industry has become a joke! I say this as a true music lover, with almost 20 years DJ experience. Music is my life and has always
been and I know that clubs like RISE are there for the right reasons. Their reputation in the dance music industry is well known and in fact we can see all their calendar/programs... they serve the Boston crowd and not only the best DJs in the world."
Luca Ricci
Aenaria Recordings, Italy
"Rise is definitely one of the best after-hours venues in North America, very special space where people really enjoy the music and open their mind to make a real journey. The DJ booth is very intimate and the sound more than any dj needs to create a perfect vibe! Was amazing nights there!"
