About Dub Champions Festival
Subatomic Sound presents the 5th annual Dub Champions Festival, a journey into the international musical phenomenon called “dub”. Characterized by heavy bass, drums, and the copious use of effects, producers become the artists and the mixing board becomes an instrument with this Jamaican art form. The festival features both performances & educational workshops to exhibit how the music is created and has evolved from its 1970s, reggae roots to become a cornerstone of electronic bass music. Dub has also inspired countless genres from rap to rock to punk to dance music, and in the process has redefined the role of producer as artist.
Dub Champions Festival was founded in New York City by Emch of Subatomic Sound System, and is dedicated to featuring the world’s greatest dub pioneers from Jamaica and every continent worldwide. The festival is produced in cooperation with local regional promoters and Dubspot electronic music school and SubPac tactile bass equipment. The festival happens annually in different regions: September & October in the Eastern USA in New York City and across the northeast; September in Western USA in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Portland, and more; and February in Europe in Vienna, Amsterdam, Linz with more cities to come.
About Subatomic Sound System
NYC’s Subatomic Sound System is a tightrope between the reggae roots of dub and the future of bass music.

After collaborating with Dubblestandart in 2008 to produce Lee ‘Scratch’ Perry’s first dubstep tracks, numerous projects followed and Subatomic Sound System, with a unique blend of live instruments and electronics, has become Scratch’s go-to band for reinventing the Black Ark vibes on recent tours, including his 2013 Coachella & RBMA appearances. Subatomic Sound System has released a string of chart topping productions, remixes, and releases include collaborations with icons like Lee ‘Scratch’ Perry, Elephant Man, filmmaker David Lynch, Anthony B, and Ari Up, as well as next-generation pioneers like Jahdan Blakkamoore, Stereotyp, Frikstailers, Dub Gabriel, and many more.
Emch founded the Dub Champions Festival five years ago with the goal of promoting dub music from the reggae roots in Jamaica to the global spread of dubstep and future electronic bass music.
