'''Subatomic Sound System''', founded in 1999 by Emch and [[Noah Shachtman]], is an American record label and collective hosting of musicians, producers, DJs, and visual artists from a variety of backgrounds and traditions. In late 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]]. 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 and the Jamaican dub from the 1970s, in which dubstep'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, 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.
