Global Soundclash @ Reggae Sumfest 2019

06/08/2019 by Press Release

The Global Soundclash event prior to Reggae Sumfest’s Main Nights features Selectors from around the World!

From Japan: YARD BEAT
from Canada: KING TURBO (World Clash Champions)
from Germany: WARRIOR SOUND
plus Jamaican heavyweights: RICKY TROOPER and PINK PANTHER!

Jamaica’s rich music and culture which have impacted and infused itself throughout the world also produced the soundclash, which is one of the many musical standouts which originated in the country that birthed reggae and dancehall. More classically defined, a soundclash is a DJ battle (mostly in reggae and dancehall) where two collective sounds – consisting of one or more selectors (or DJs as they say in the U.S.) – go tune for tune. They often use custom remixes (aka dub plates) featuring drops from marquee artists to win over the audience.

On Thursday, July 18th, Jamaica’s largest music festival Reggae Sumfest brings back the Global Sound Clash again this year to Pier 1. At 8pm the nail-biting competition begins between leading sounds from Jamaica, Japan, Germany and Canada – Ricky Trooper, Pink Panther, Warrior Sound, Yard Beat and King Turbo.

Following the packed and riveting World Clash 20th Anniversary Sound Clash of Reggae Sumfest 2018 at Pier One [VIEW THE PHOTO REPORT HERE!], the 2019 All-Star Global Sound System Shoot-Out promises to be an exciting competition.
