SUBATOMIC SOUND SYSTEM: For nearly a decade EMCH has been the producer, selector, and musician behind Subatomic Sound System and the label head of Subatomic Sound. Subatomic Sound System will be on tour in May with their mentor Lee "Scratch" Perry in support of the latest Subatomic Sound chart topping release, a genre bending, political scorcher featuring Anthony B entitled "Dem Can't Stop We From Talk," recorded in Africa, NYC, and Jamaica with remixes from producers around the world. Founded at the turn of the millennium, New York City-based Subatomic Sound System has built a reputation worldwide for forward thinking production, explosive shows, and breaking down barriers with conscious topics, and their forward-thinking adaptation of 1970's Jamaican sound system culture and dub reggae studio techniques to a wide variety of current bass music genres, technology, and live performances. Subatomic releases have been seen topping various vinyl and digital charts in the past years spanning from dub to dubstep and everything bass heavy in between. A few of Subatomic Sound System's notable releases include their wild collaboration with Dubblestandart to produce Grammy-winning dub innovator Lee Scratch Perry's first dubstep tracks, eclectic collaborations with icons like filmmaker David Lynch, Prince Far-I, and U.K. punk pioneer Ari Up of the Slits, as well as unusual electronic projects with new school reggae torchbearers like Anthony B, Elephant Man, Jahdan Blakkamoore, and Dubblestandart. A record label, DJs, production crew, live band, and event promoters, the Subatomic Sound crew is at work in NYC on every level. Subatomic Sound System and the Subatomic Sound label are spearheaded by Emch, as producer, selector, musician, and also the host of Subatomic Sound Radio which blasted out over the years to a footprint of 11 million terrestrial listeners in the greater NYC area via KEXP's MoGlo broadcast on Radio New York, 91.5fm, and on the internet via Brooklyn Radio. Subatomic Sound System has toured throughout the Americas, Europe, Asia, and Russia. In 2008, Emch was recruited by top ranking live dub band, Dubblestandart, to play guitar and melodica on tour worldwide with Grammy winning legend Lee Scratch Perry, reaching from capacity crowd shows at New York's Central Park and Europe's largest reggae festival, One Love in Poland.

TREASURE DON's big tune "The Chronicles" with Subatomic Sound System was recently featured on Showtime's Californication. Ghetto champion, undisputed crowd pleaser, and former star singer with NY's St. John Divine's Boys Choir, Treasure Don has toured the world, bringing fire to the microphone in the dancehall tradition of Cutty Ranks, Yellowman, and Barrington Levy, and flexing the same divine baritone that his preacher father once used to shake the foundation of congregations throughout the Bronx. Original Jamaican fiyah, every time! www.facebook.com/treasuredon
