Heavy Hammer

About

Italy's Heavy Hammer: not just a sound system, but a cultural earthquake shaking the foundations of reggae and dancehall since the early 2000s. This is not your breezy, beachside reggae; Heavy Hammer injects a potent dose of raw energy, blending classic Jamaican rhythms with a distinctly European sensibility. Think King Tubby filtered through the lens of Italian club culture. Their sound is a volcanic eruption of dubplates, exclusive remixes, and razor-sharp selections, drawing on deep roots reggae, contemporary dancehall, and even dashes of hip-hop influence. Building a reputation through relentless touring and fiery clashes, Heavy Hammer quickly evolved from local heroes to international contenders. Their victories in sound clashes, including significant wins at World War Sound, cemented their status. Beyond the competition, Heavy Hammer has cultivated a loyal following through consistently high-energy performances and a dedication to promoting reggae culture. They've shared stages with legends like Capleton and Beenie Man, solidifying their place within the global reggae community. Currently, Heavy Hammer continues to tour internationally, bringing their brand of Italian-infused reggae to new audiences while consistently dropping fresh mixes and dubplates, ensuring the hammer keeps dropping.
