about

Musical victory booming out of the speaker: a love letter to the competitive art of sound clash, dub mixing, Jamaican sound system culture and reggae riddims from roots to dancehall! Brought to you by the same Subatomic Sound System lineup as on Lee “Scratch” Perry’s acclaimed “Super Ape Returns To Conquer” album. A hit tune live for many years on Subatomic tours, every selector needs a tune like this in their record box to let the competition know they are the boss!

lyrics

Musical thing called the Champion Sound
If you don't know we are the Champion Sound
don't come around ina we town!

Bow to the Champion Sound

Bow to the Champion Sound

Oh well! Oh well!

String up the bass

and in the place
when my sound it turn on

and wait til my sound turn on
