From 2007 to the present:{{When|date=July 2011}} Subatomic Sound System increased touring throughout North America and Europe in a variety of configurations from live band of ten, to electronic trio, to DJs as styles like [[dubstep]] increased in popularity and the interest in new [[dub music|dub]] oriented music emanating from New York City increased (largely the result of successful releases from NYC artists such as Dr. Israel, [[Victor Axelrod|Ticklah]], [[Easy Star All-Stars]], Dub Gabriel, [[Bill Laswell]], [[Matisyahu]], and others).

July 19, 2009: Subatomic Sound System performed to a beyond capacity crowd at [[Summerstage]] in [[Central Park]], [[New York City]], along with Lee "Scratch" Perry & Dubblestandart (with a cameo from [[Ari Up]]) as well as [[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 beforeprior, 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>
