Founded in 1999 by Emch and Noah Shachtman, Subatomic Sound System is a rocord label and

collective hosting musicians, producers, DJs and visual artists from a variety of backgrounds and
traditions. In fall 2008, Subatomic Sound System garnered international attention for a limited edition
vinyl 12" featuring their collaboration with Vienna's Dubblestandart and dub inventor Lee "Scratch"
Perry, releasing the first songs from Perry in the dubstep genre, one of the first recorded examples
of a tangible connection between the popular UK based electronic genre that emerged in the begin
of the first decade of the 21st century and the Jamaican dub from the 1970s where dubstep's origins
were rooted and which had been primarily originated by Perry himself. Beginning in 2008, Subatomic
Sound System started hosting weekly radio shows on 91.5fm, Radio New York and webcast on
Brooklyn Radio. In 2011 Subatomic Sound System began performing as Lee "Scratch" Perry's
backing band with a hybrid of electronics and live instruments. In 2013 they performed together
at Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival and afterwards became Perry's exclusive touring band in
North America. In 2017, Subatomic Sound System released their first full-length album with Perry
entitled 'Super Ape Returns To Conquer' which debuted #5 on the Billboard Magazine reggae chart
and #2 on iTunes USA reggae album chart and reached #1 on North America World music NACC
charts.
