For the next iteration of RISING: Singles Club, we’re releasing the limited-edition, 500-copy ‘Heavy Congress’ 7”—your chance to take a slab of bass home and commemorate [*Heavy Congress*](/festival-program/heavy-congress) taking place at The Forum this June.

Produced and written by Roots Manuva collaborator Monkey Marc, ‘Heavy Congress’ is built on the “Rising Riddim”. A rhythmic reflection of the joy, sweat and sheer heavy lifting of the Melbourne Soundsystem community, through the frustrations of lockdown and beyond. The record’s production has been overseen by one of Australia’s finest selectors, Systa BB.

To round out the track Monkey Marc has enlisted a clutch of players from Melbourne’s Soundsystem scene. There’s the highly regarded—in both Melbourne and Jamaica—Mista Savona on keys. And handling mic duties is the legandary UK vocalist and DJ, Spikey Tee; with locals including Burn City’s bass ambassador Stick Mareebo, and Housewife’s Choice sound system member and dancehall specialist Anitra. Then we enlisted the magic of the iconic local VIDA SUNSHYNE to complete the chemistry. 

The B Side features a smoking jungle remix care of Spikey Tee himself, only available in this pressing—that means no download on the remix folks.

Sleeve design comes from UK/Melbourne designer, John Warwicker—the creator of numerous cover and singles, going back to the ‘90s, for the seminal UK electronic act Underworld.

With homegrown production, name checking and global bass, ‘Heavy Congress’ is an anthem guaranteed to raise you out of your comfort zone, skank to the dancefloor and lose yourself in the bass

Singles Club is RISING’s series of specially commissioned celestial tunes, from some of the festival’s favourite musicians. The exclusive ‘Heavy Congress’ 7" is only available in the RISING shop and in select local record shops. 

A limited run of only 500 copies.

Pendant - Still

Keep your crown jewels where they can see them.  

A fabulous, flagrant phallus from the minds of acclaimed artist Paul Yore—catch his work in RISING at [Golden Square](/festival-program/golden-square)—and cult jeweller Seb Brown. These uncut gems fuse Yore’s pop art sensibilities with Brown’s exquisite craftsmanship. A playful take on luxury features strung pearls of varying size, a cast sterling silver pendant and Brown’s signature inlaid gemstones—all held together by a tiny glass mushroom clasp.  

“Queer people, by necessity, have always formulated new affirming symbols and rites against mainstream culture. Having grown up in a staunchly Catholic home, I have long been fascinated by ritual. As such, this piece was inspired by the notion of jewellery as having a devotional function. The form was informed by traditional rosary beads, as well as the phallic charms and ornaments of ancient fertility cults. Pearl necklaces are also associated with sexuality and exuberance, and so this piece captures a sense of drama and high camp that evokes the Baroque period, and interestingly, the origin of the word ‘baroque’ itself is from Portuguese ‘barroco’ via French, originally meaning ‘a misshapen pearl’.”
