In late 2008, the 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]]. These were Perry's first songs in the [[dubstep]] genre, one of the first recorded examples of a connection between the popular UK-based [[Electronic music\|electronic]] genre that emerged in the early ~~2000s~~2000's and the Jamaican dub from the ~~1970s, in which dubstep~~1970's ~~origins were rooted and which had primarily originated from Perry himself~~. Beginning in 2008, Subatomic Sound System started hosting weekly radio shows on 91.~~5FM~~5 FM, Radio New York, and webcasts 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 afterward 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 No. 5 on the ''[[Billboard (magazine)\|Billboard]]'' reggae chart and No. 2 on [[iTunes]] US reggae album chart and reached No. 1 on the [[North American College and Community Radio Chart]] (NACC) World music chart. ==Performance History== Line 32 ⟶ 31: On July 19, 2009, Subatomic Sound System performed at [[Summerstage]] in [[Central Park]], [[New York City]], along with Lee "Scratch" Perry & Dubblestandart (with a cameo from [[Ari Up]]) and [[Alpha Blondy]]. The lineup for this event drew the largest Summerstage crowd of the season, confirming organizers' expectations. Given the multicultural and cross generational audiences who turn out in Central Park, organizers had hoped this billing would draw on the connection between modern incarnations of [[dub music\|dub]] based music such as dubstep and the [[Dub music\|dub]] and [[roots reggae]] styles from over 30 years prior, originated by Perry in Jamaica that influenced artists like Blondy to extend that sound in [[Africa]]. Those styles then influenced groups like Dubblestandart and Subatomic Sound System in Europe and the US to meld that sound with other contemporary electronic based genres.<ref>{{Cite web\|url=https://cityparksfoundation.org/summerstage/\|title=City Parks Foundation - SummerStage\|website=Cityparksfoundation.org\|accessdate=29 January 2021}}</ref> In 2012, [[Lee Scratch Perry\|Perry]], with Subatomic Sound System as his band and opening act, went on tour across the US from May 16 through May 26.
