world sound cup clash
The World Sound Cup Clash is a competition between the best sound systems from around the world.
In 1993 world promotion and BJ production came up with the concept for the clash. The first World Sound Cup Clash took place in North London UK. Featuring Saxon and Coxsone from the UK, Afrique representing USA and Bodyguard sound representing Jamaica.
This event was history in the making, never before has the world witnessed a clash of such magnitude, with Bodyguard sound becoming the first ever world champion sound.
Most dancehall fans who know whats what, will still maintain that this was the best clash ever in the UK. In the opinions of many only one other sound clash could come any where near for vibes and originality and that was the big clash in Portmore Jamaica, between killamanjaro and king addies.
In 1994 World Promotion brought the World Sound Cup Clash to the Sanctuary, Milton Keynes, a record breaking crowd turned out to see four of the top sounds battle it out for this coveted trophy. Saxon Sound from London and Kebra Negus Sound from Birmingham represented the UK, King Addis from the USA and current Jamaican defending world champions Bodyguard . After a very close competition Saxon Sound were the victorious cup winners.
As mentioned above the 94 Cup Clash had a record turnout that would eventually lead to work against us as it became vertually impossible for World Promotion to find a venue big enough to continue the event, and for the next 2 years we booked venues only for it to be cancelled for unknown reasons.
Shortly after other promoters caught on and the world clash lived on.
March 2009 World Promotion relaunched the World Sound Cup Clash 09 at O2 Acedemy Brixton.
This time it featured seven of the best sounds from around the globe including for the first time a sound system from the African continent, "Shashamane international" entered the competition and caused a major shock in the sound system world by becaming the World Sound Cup Clash winners.
