Subatomic Sound System Tickets

Subatomic Sound System is a boundary-pushing live act blending dub, reggae, dancehall, drum and bass, and electronic bass with improvisation and real-time dub mixing. Spearheaded by Emch, the project is renowned for its live-band/dub sound system performances and for founding the Dub Champions Festival in the US and Europe. The duo and rotating collaborators bring a heavy, bass-forward experience that resonates across generations of reggae and electronic music lovers.

In collaboration with the late Lee  Scratch" Perry, Subatomic Sound System crafted a new wave of dub heritage, including the acclaimed project Super Ape Returns To Conquer (2017), a reimagining of Perry’s classic album. The group maintains a reputation for sonic experimentation, cinematic live shows, and roots-forward rhythm with modern production sensibilities.

Fans can expect immersive live performances that emphasize improvisation, live mixing, and a club-ready bass experience. They continue to push the boundaries of the genre while staying true to the foundational ethos of dub: space, bass, and vibration. For listeners in the Pacific Northwest and beyond, Subatomic Sound System offers a rare chance to experience a modern dub sound system act in a live setting.

Upcoming tour information highlights a Northwest run in May 2025 featuring stops in Seattle, WA; Portland, OR; and Ellensburg, WA. Each show presents a standalone experience with high-energy live performances, dynamic mixing, and a deep-dive into dub culture. If you’re securing tickets, expect an intimate yet powerful soundscape where the music breathes and the bass travels. Don’t miss the chance to catch Subatomic Sound System on their current and future tours as they continue to champion dub culture on stages around the world.
