	Sound system (DJ) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A sound system is a group of DJs and engineers contributing and working together as one, often playing and producing one particular kind of music.
		The sound system scene is generally regarded as an important part of Jamaican cultural history and as being responsible for the rise of modern Jamaican musical styles such as ska and dub.
		Sound system is also used to refer to a free party sound system, also known as a rig.

	Dub Narcotic Sound System - April 24th, 2000 in Lawrence, KS
		When Dub Narcotic came go the stage I was a little disappointed to see the band touring as a three piece with Calvin Johnson on acoustic guitar, Heather Dunn (Tiger Trap, Lois) on Drums and Chris Sutton on bass.
		Last time there was a frenzied finale with dancers invited on stage to hop around until everyone ultimately collapsed in a sweaty heap, this time the band finished the song, the fans pushed their moist bangs out of their eyes and everyone stopped by the merch table on their way out the door.
		There is no such thing as a bad Dub Narcotic show, but this one seemed to be a little less of the one thing the band brings that no others do, the music that gets sober punks and indie kids out on the dance floor to uninhibitedly shake their asses, and that is sad.

	Disquiet: interviews: Dub, American Style (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		Such groups as the Dub Narcotic Sound System (from Olympia, Wash.) and President's Breakfast (from San Francisco) are using dub as a creative launch pad, but their work is too disparate to fit easily under a rubric like "trip-hop," the umbrella term for much of the new British dub-influenced pop.
		Dub's rise in America is particularly strong on the West Coast, whose beach culture would make for a nice climatic correlation with Jamaica if dub — a studio art — weren't by nature an indoor activity.
		Also in the dub tradition, Dub Narcotic accepted a commission from the Jon Spencer Blues Explosion to rework one of the band's songs, the result of which is featured on the Blues Explosion's Experimental Remixes EP (Beastie Boy Mike D contributed to a remix, too).

	Sound system
		This particular usage of the term is derived from the Jamaican sound system culture which firmly rooted itself in the UK in the 70s, which in turn took the name from extensive use of sound reinforcement systems by DJs.
		Competition between these sound systems was fierce, and eventually two DJs emerged as the stars of the scene: Clement 'Coxsone' Dodd, and Duke Reid.
		Because sound system dances were one of the few things ghetto people could call their own, they became central to downtown life, thus a barometer of popular taste.

	Tiny Mix Tapes
		Between the filtered Dub art music of the Industrial Breakdown EP and the interloper funk and fuzzy future-pop of the Boot Party LP, the band that seemingly was intended to be a Teva-treading frat party near-joke actually transcended the limits of their make-believe genre and delivered seminal, roof-burning ecstasy for jaded East Coast cynics.
		Now the Dub Narcotic Sound System is set to issue an as-yet-unnamed 3rd Long-Player, sometime this Autumn.
		Perhaps in the near future the Dub Narcotic Sound System will peel off the thin- suit, lift the lid again and choke up something mysterious and laughable, something seriously fun.

	Dub Narcotic Sound System Mp3 Albums Review
		Calvin Johnson from Dub Narcotic sound system does a lot of lead vocal work on this while Spencer shouts in the background in agreement to Johnson's ramblings, giving encouragement in his Elvis in heat vocal style.
		When it was announced that the almighty Jon Spencer Blues Explosion were to collaborate with the equally funky Dub Narcotic Sound System, a musical community jumped for joy.
		DNSS is a terrible project that puts out horrible albums devoid of real musicianship and chock full of pretentious, overly precious preening over boring, poorly executed ideas.

		Saw Dub Narcotic Sound System last night, touring in support of Out of Your Mind--fantastic.
		Years ago I saw Beat Happening in a small gallery, and it was intense--no distance between the band and the audience, great energetic playing and singing, and Calvin staring the audience in the eye, thumping his chest with the microphone, and rolling around on the floor.
		Dub Narcotic is aggressive, too, in this case about making you dance.

		And though it is his position at the front of Dub Narcotic — as well as his time with Beat Happening and another project, The Halo Benders — that exposes him to the public more than anything else, it is perhaps the one job he has in which he does the least amount of work.
		Calvin says that the groove is in the heart of Dub Narcotic's music, and from there, each live show is a take of its own.
		And though the Dub Narcotic sound isn't dub reggae music, the band's sound is a lot funkier than the stuff that Calvin is usually associated with.

	Dub Narcotic Sound System Meets the Jon Spencer Blues Explosion, Sideways Soul - PopMatters Music Review
		Thankfully, before recording that album, the Blues Explosion layed down some tracks with Dub Narcotic's Calvin Johnson which haven't seen the light of day until now, and those tracks show none of the overproduction which dragged Acme down like a two-ton anchor.
		It seemed Spencer was far too caught up in answering critics to stick with the formula that had made him great, and it appeared that those who'd said he lacked heart might have been right after all.
		But with the free-spirited raucous jams of Sideways Soul, the Blues Explosion proves that as long as the sound stays loud, fun and groovy, there are few better bands in all of rock 'n' roll.

	TrouserPress.com :: Dub Narcotic Sound System
		His Dub Narcotic Sound System made its first appearances on a series of "disco plates," singles that took dub's idea of on-the-cheap, one-take production-toasting over a prefabricated but funky backing track and a disassembled dub version slapped on the B-side-and applied them to rock, or at least something distinctly not reggae.
		Ridin' Shotgun is Dub Narcotic's only weak record so far: three fairly dull grooves recorded in Memphis, each in vocal and instrumental versions.
		For Dub Narcotic tours, Johnson has used members of the Dead Presidents, a bi-racial hip-hop crew (with a live band) from Washington.

	Dub Narcotic Sound System : Bone Dry - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect
		The Dub Narcotic Sound System's strongest asset has consistently also been its greatest liability: Calvin Johnson and his deadpan baritone intonations over the Sound System's minimal, rubber-limbed indie-funk grooves.
		Where previous and subsequent DNSS recordings occasionally feel like insular indie-rock in-jokes, Bone Dry is genuinely and unapologetically funky.
		DNSS' rhythm section -- bassist Todd Ranslow and drummer Larry Butler -- shines particularly bright, and, in general, Bone Dry is a noble and largely successful experiment in straightforward grooves.

	Dub Narcotic Sound System: Degenerate Introduction: Pitchfork Record Review
		Like The Exploding Hearts or Metallica before them, Dub Narcotic Sound System had a pretty bad van accident last year, swerving to avoid hitting a deer.
		As proven on past Dub Narcotic efforts, Calvin himself is no Tikiman, King Tubby or Lee "Scratch" Perry, so his cravings for "old-school grooves and rare hip-hop beats" are embarrassing, especially when laid down over an awkward human beatbox and a drum that comes in a fraction of second too late.
		Still, Dub Narcotic's aim has always been to bring people to their feet, and that they find the most success with the least dance-inflected tracks should serve as a wake-up call: DJs who clear the floor don't get invited back.

		FROM A DISTANCE, Calvin Johnson -- the basso profundo singer of Beat Happening, the Halo Benders, and Dub Narcotic Sound System, and owner of famed independent K Records -- seems all he's cracked up to be: austere, eccentric, and prone to rub his belly at inappropriate moments.
		Sitting in Dub Narcotic Studio in Olympia, the gymnasium-sized room above the K offices which once housed a knitting factory, Johnson stretches out on a couch in the far corner.
		We've met to discuss Johnson's new album, Sideways Soul: Dub Narcotic Sound System Meets the Jon Spencer Blues Explosion in a Dancehall Style, the rockin' collision between Johnson's quirky funk band and the mannered R&B of Spencer's popular group.

	* Dusted Reviews - Dub Narcotic Sound System *
		Frontman and K Records’ honcho Calvin Johnson must still be sticking smug to the limitations-as-strengths philosophy, because there isn’t a glimmer of sheen on this one.
		The beats are froggy and that keyboard sounds like a twelve year old just took his birthday present out of the box.
		Dub Narcotic Sound System, in theory, takes his ideas one obvious step farther: dub is what you get when modern musicmaking technology is introduced to 'unsophisticated'

	Dub Narcotic Sound System Meets The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		The story of this collaboration, according to Dub Narcotic Sound System's Calvin Johnson, is that it was the Blues Explosion's payment for services rendered, namely Johnson's remixing work on the Blues Explosion's '95 Experimental Remixes EP.
		Jon Spencer was once the frontman of the legendary D.C. trash-rock outfit Pussy Galore, and Johnson is a former member of underground pop auteurs Beat Happening and remains the head of the widely-revered indie label K Records.
		So part of the joy of listening to Dub Narcotic Sound System Meets The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion comes from the sheer absurdity of hearing these two longtime luminaries of independent rock trading freestyle rants and hollers over the Blues Explosion's loose-limbed, groovadelic garage funk.
