Safe as Fucks' First Annual Soundclash Featuring: Location : 1849 Franklin Street What is a Soundclash?

A sound clash is a musical competition where opposing sound systems battle to win over the audience. These clashes often feature reggae, dancehall, jungle, and bass-heavy music, taking place in both indoor and outdoor venues.

Origins of Sound Clash Culture

The sound clash tradition began in Kingston, Jamaica, in the 1950s, when local reggae sound systems would challenge each other in musical duels. Each crew—known as a "sound system"—was made up of DJs, singers, and artists, each aiming to outperform and outshine the competition.
