In late 2008, Subatomic Sound System gained international recognition for a limited edition vinyl 12" that featured their collaboration with Vienna's Dubblestandart and renowned dub innovator Lee "Scratch" Perry. This project marked Perry's inaugural venture into the dubstep genre, representing one of the earliest documented instances of a tangible connection between the UK-based electronic genre, which emerged in the early 2000s, and the Jamaican dub that originated in the 1970s—roots primarily attributed to Perry himself.

Beginning in 2008, Subatomic Sound System commenced hosting weekly radio shows on 91.5FM, Radio New York, and webcasts on Brooklyn Radio. By 2011, Subatomic Sound System began serving as Lee "Scratch" Perry's backing band, utilizing a hybrid of electronic and live instrumentation. In 2013, they featured together at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival, subsequently becoming Perry's exclusive touring band in North America. In 2017, Subatomic Sound System released their inaugural full-length album with Perry, titled *Super Ape Returns To Conquer*. This album achieved notable success, debuting at No. 5 on the Billboard reggae chart, No. 2 on the iTunes US reggae album chart, and reaching No. 1 on the North American College and Community Radio Chart (NACC) World music chart.
