Biografía
Spearheaded by producer, DJ, and instrumentalist Emch, NYC’s Subatomic Sound System is on the front lines of a dub music renaissance: founder of the US & Europe Dub Champions Festival, 7 years acting as the live touring band for legend Lee “Scratch” Perry, instigating the 40th anniversary Super Ape tour for Dub Champions Festival, as well as performances including Coachella, Red Bull Music Academy, Ableton Loop Berlin, Ozora and more; plus independently touring North America, Europe, and Asia, and for over a decade producing music ranging from classic roots dub to dancehall to dubstep all with a heavy NYC flavor. Supporting Lee “Scratch” Perry live Subatomic configures with various lineups but the core Super Ape tour unit is Emch on the dub mix, riddims, and melodica; Black Ark studio veteran Larry McDonald on percussion; Troy Shaka Simms on saxophone; and Screechy Dan on vocals.
The Subatomic Sound specializes in limited releases that push the envelope of dub, reggae, & dancehall in the context of electronic bass music through forward sounding productions and unlikely collaborations with icons such as Lee “Scratch” Perry, David Lynch, Anthony B, Elephant Man, Ari Up of The Slits, as well as new school torchbearers like Dubblestandart, Jahdan Blakkamoore, Delhi Sultanate, Stereotyp and many more. Subatomic Sound actively produces events and founded the annual Dub Champions Festival running 7 years in the USA and Europe.
