Heavy Congress

Heavy Congress is Day/night event steeped in Soundsystem lore and culture—a movement that spread from its Jamaican, Colombian and the world.
After selling out at RISING 2022 , Heavy Congress is back for its third big dance —and this time it’s going to be a massive dance With I R ATION STEPPAS as our special guest. Six local crews made up of DJs, MCs and live performing artists—each wield colossal custom speaker stacks, bombarding the audience with bass, in a bid for the crowd’s seal of approval.
A massive lineup of Melbourne sound systems, El Gran Mono,General Feeling , Heartical Hi Powa, System Unknown, and from Tasmania we welcome South Weight Sound System to Naaram.
No two sound systems are the same, it is true that no 2 sound systems are equal. Each sound system is built for its own unique sound, shape, looks and place in the sound system community. The sound system is built to give pleasure to the hands that built it and to the tribes that presents themselves in front of it for musical pleasures. Once you’ve found your sound, you will be dedicated for life.
Whether its reggae and protest music, classic dub, electro and techno, or champeta Africana pumping from the intricately designed speaker stacks, one thing’s for certain: bass is coming and it’s gonna be big.
