Subatomic Sound System (NYC) and Screechy Dan (Jamaica)
plus DJ Sep (Dub Mission)
Founded at the turn of the millennium, NYC's Subatomic Sound System has built a rep worldwide for genre bending dubwise productions, explosive shows, and breaking down barriers with positive conscious messages and their unique adaptation of 1970's Jamaican sound system culture and analog dub reggae studio techniques to current bass music genres, digital technology, and live performances. A record label, DJ/production crew, live band, and event promoters, the Subatomic Sound crew is at work in NYC on every level. Spearheaded by Emch as producer, DJ, and musician, Subatomic Sound releases span from dub to dubstep and everything bass heavy in between.

More Info
Subatomic Sound System has been on a 20-year mission, forging a style built on the bass-heavy, spacious soundscapes, and live, improvisational remixing of classic 1970s Jamaican dub and conscious reggae music, in the context of electronic bass music. Using the latest technology, they've pioneered a unique performance style that blurs the lines between DJing and a live band. Subatomic is spearheaded by producer, DJ, and multi-instrumentalist Emch, who arranges and manipulates both pre-recorded music instruments and effects with the live musicians to create a real time musical dialogue. The core live musicians include Jamaican percussion legend and Black Ark veteran Larry McDonald (Peter Tosh, Skatalites, Gil Scot Heron) and Troy Shaka Simms (Brooklyn Gypsies, Mobius Collective) on sax and horn arrangements. In the past decades, Subatomic has toured as live band, sound system, or selector across the U.S., Canada, the U.K., Europe, Middle East, Russia, India, and Mexico, including appearances at France's Telerama Dub Festival, The Marleys' Kayafest, Coachella, Hungary's Ozora Festival, SoleDXB, Cali Roots, Cali Vibes, and opening for Julian Marley's U.S. tour. The Subatomic live show recently inspired a viral documentary by Great Big Story.
For over a decade, Subatomic Sound System was Lee "Scratch" Perry's Brooklyn-based touring band. A dub and reggae pioneer, Lee "Scratch" Perry, was the genius producer and songwriter behind Bob Marley & The Wailers. Subatomic's frequent collaborations led to the production of the acclaimed 2017 album "Super Ape Returns to Conquer," which reimagined Scratch's 1973 classic "Super Ape", mixing the vintage Jamaican dub sound with 21st century bass and beats. Scratch & Subatomic & Screechy's versions of "Chase the Devil" & "Lee 'Scratch' Perry is the Dub Organizer" have become some of Scratch's biggest songs of this century.
In 2023, Subatomic Sound System & Screechy Dan toured Europe with Jack Johnson in support of their collaboration on Jack's new "In Between Dub" album and toured the U.S. with Stephen Marley. They recently performed on the main stage at The Marley Brothers' sold out 4/20 Kaya Fest at Red Rocks, and at Cali Vibes Festival. After a recent performance in Seattle, Subatomic & Screechy recorded a live session at KEXP demonstrating their unique style of live dub performance. That session has gone viral on the internet. This year is also the 50th anniversary of the world's first dub album, Lee "Scratch" Perry's "Blackboard Jungle Dub", for which Subatomic & Scratch previously did a 45th anniversary tour and their new single, "Lee 'Scratch' Perry is the Dub Organizer", is from a forthcoming album. Other releases on the Subatomic Sound label with roots and dancehall artists like Jah9, Yaadcore, Anthony B, Elephant Man, and Jahdan Blakkamoore have further defined the reach of the Subatomic Sound dub style as well as unlikely collaborations and remixes pairing a global network of underground electronic bass music producers with the likes of filmmaker David Lynch, Ari Up of The Slits, a collective of Colombian cumbia producers, and more. Visit Subatomic Sound System for more information.
Born in Trenchtown, Jamaica before relocating to New York City, Screechy Dan has a storied career as a former major label Polygram artist, part of Shaggy, Rayvon & Redd Foxx's crew that popularized Jamaican dancehall mixing up with Brooklyn's golden era hip hop in the 1990's. His tune "Pose Off" is a dancehall party classic worldwide and he also had big collaborations with the likes of Masters at Work and Kenny Dope that resulted in hit singles and videos on heavy rotation on BET. Screechy recorded and toured with Lee "Scratch" Perry & Subatomic Sound System and is the primary vocalist on their new tune "Lee 'Scratch' Perry is the Dub Organizer" single as well as singing and chatting on their acclaimed "Super Ape Returns to Conquer" album, handling lead vocal on the single "Chase the Devil" that has become one of Scratch's most popular songs of the 21st century. In recent years, Screechy & Subatomic's "Champion Sound" track was chosen by Don Letts for his Best of 2020 BBC radio show and his "Skylarking" single was picked as the track of the week on BBC's #1 reggae show with David Rodigan.
DJ Sep is a long-time S.F. DJ and producer, and the founder of Dub Mission, one of the longest-running reggae clubs in the world (1996-2019). She spins dub, reggae, dancehall, Jungle/DnB, and Afrobeats. Sep has spun at festivals, clubs, museums, and community events in Spain, the U.K., Canada, Mexico, many cities in the U.S., and most venues in the greater Bay Area. Sep has also presented and opened for a long list of reggae and electronic artists, including Lee Perry, The Wailers, The Scientist, Mad Professor, Sly & Robbie, Toots and The Maytals, Sister Nancy, Mykal Rose, Mungo's Hi Fi, Quantic, Akae Beka, and many others.
