FULLY LOADED 2003 camera.gif (1111 bytes) (JA) <Well Matterhorn's beach has moved from Fort Clarence Beach to a new venue in Negril, but that didn't stop the mental from flattening the place at this annual juggling war and stage show affair.  In fact Matterhorn unleashed on just about everyone and every sound, including the police officer who escorted him off stage when he got hype and started to use profanity to get his point accross.  The result?  He returns to the stage with a vengence and flattens the beach as he took the crowd way back to Fully Loaded #1 and came straight up back, unleashing anthem after anthem along the way!!   Renaissance also performs and as usual buss the crowd with their Hip Hop-Reggae flava punctuated with a few exclusive remixes of course!  Then live on stage: Elephant Man, Bounty Killer, Vybez Cartel, Wayne Marshall, Predator, Kip Rich, Kid Kurrupt, Queen Paula and Pickney, and more!!

*MORTAL KOMBAT 2K3 (QUEENS) camera.gif (1111 bytes) <Killamanjaro with Freddy at the helms returned to the New York clash scene with a vengence to unleashed his pent up fury on Bass Odyssey (led by Skinny) at the MORTAL KOMBAT 2K3 CLASH in Dubies Palace, Queens, NYC!  Put on by Killa Mari Promotions and M & M Promotions, this clash was billed as a one on one old fashion Biltmore-style brawl - something that the clash arena has not seen in it's true form in quite some time.  With a shakey 2002 record and noticeably absent from WORLD CLASH 2002, many wondered if Killamanjaro was still a force to be reckoned with.  That question would be unequivocally answered!  Squingy, Bass Odyssey's head honco - was not present to defend the one rack warhead.  Instead, Skinny (accompanied by DJ Mark) came in his place.  In a clash that Jaro pretty much dominated from the start, Freddy selected with confidence, and his speech was on point.   Evidence of some serious new tune cutting was apparent, but Freddy did not hesitate to unleash the Tenor Saws and Super Cat anthems either.  Skinny from Bass Odyssey (Squingy's protege') gave it a good run, but early into the clash proved he might be too inexperienced to handle Jaro on this particular night.  A straight up duel to the Dub Fi Dub, each selector had something to prove - an opportnity to come from under their teacher's shadow - and they hesitated no time to prove it.  Was Skinny able to fill Squingy's shoes and overcome the highest mountain, or did Freddy convince Jaro fans that he can bring Jaro back to the glory days of former selector Ricky Trooper?  A Must Have!!!> (Also Available On CD) (Also Available on Audio Tape) (Vol 1-3) 2-22-03

GLOBAL CUP CLASH 2K2 camera.gif (1111 bytes) (QUEENS) <We promised to deliver it and after months of waiting we are finally the first online to have it!!!  Andrew Digital in association with Future Vibes brings to Club Amazura in Queens, New York City a "one of a kind" clash that promised to bring the sound clash business back to the basics!!   Imagine this setup: "Eight tickets are placed in a bag (2 labelled "1", 2 labelled "2", 2 labelled "3", and 2 labelled "4").  Eight warhead sounds choose from the bag and the pairs that come up with the same number will battle it out (thus 4 "mini clashes") in Round 1 - a 15 minute "sudden-death" round.  The four winners will advance to Round 2 and the 4 losers will immediately be eliminated from the clash!!  In Round 2 the remaining 4 sounds will again be divided into 2 groups (thus 2 "mini clashes"), and will war again in another 15 minute "sudden-death" round.  The two winners from this round will then advance to the Final Round, with NO RULES, NO REFEREES, AND NO TIMEKEEPING - setting the stage for a Biltmore-type one on one death match!!   The official line-up of this mega clash included Black Kat (the GLOBAL CUP CLASH 2001 Champs), Bass Odyssey (the seasoned one rack warheads and WORLD CLASH 2001 Champs), Mighty Crown (WORLD CLASH 1999 Champs), King Agony (NYC's "new" war representatives),  Earthruler (the BILTMORE CUP CLASH 2002 Champs), Poison Dart (the Antiguan assassins), Madd Squad (Mobay's finest formely of Pieces), and Desert Storm (a Canadian heavyweight sound looking to make a statement in the international clash arena)!!  Bass Odyssey and Madd Squad didn't make it which led to some modifications to the clash, but at the end of the night it all boiled down to WAR, WAR, WAR!!!!  Many say Earthruler (who only recently returned to the clash arena) gave the best performance of the clash.  Dessert Storm also got props as the "sound to watch".  Mighty Crown and Black Kat, on the other hand, was said to have given a sub-standard performance.  And what of King Agony and Antigua's Poison Dart???  We can't tell you everythjing!  Listen to the clash and see how the unexpected occurred and an unlikely winner surfaced!!  A NMust Have!> (Also Available on CD) (Also Available on Tape) 12-20-02

Matterhorn may own the beach at Fully Loaded, but as Bobby Chin of Black Chiney aptly put it, they pay rent!!!!!!

*SHOWDOWN DOWNTOWN (BKLYN) camera.gif (1111 bytes) <The year's biggest foundation clash thus far takes place in Club Warehouse in Brooklyn, New York!!!!  Downbeat, Saxon, Killamanjaro, and Bodyguard meet up for a musical showcase of big tunes!! Each sound seems evenly matched.  Downbeat with Tony Screw at the control is New York City's ruling foundation sound, a title they have never given up.  Screw has one of the most exclusive dub box in the business - a combination of hardcore dubs as well as exclusive 45s you can't find anywhere - and always seems to keep up to date on the big tunes of the day (Beres, etc).  Saxon has long been England's forerunner when it comes to the line of foundation tunes.  Their box is easily one of the deepest in the business, and they are no stranger to Nitty Gritty or Tenor Saw, which they have a habit of unleashing when you least expect it!  Killamanjaro has been killing sounds for years with foundation dubs cut by Jeremy Lee, Mr. Harper, etc, and their Tenor Saws and Nitty Grittys world renown!  Bodyguard has long been a force to be reckoned with, and has boasted some of the biggest tunes in the business, including the Jimmy Cliff exclusive, "Many Rivers to Cross".  Imagine these four foundation power houses going at it in a gruelsome 3 hour clash that culminates in a 4-way Dub Fi Dub!!!

*DEATH BEFORE DISHONOR PT II camera.gif (1111 bytes) (JA) <Irish & Chin's Jamaican version of WORLD CLASH goes into it's second year at Pier One in Montego Bay, but not without it's share of controversy!  On the roster this year were Bass Odyssey representing Jamaica, Matterhorn representing the US, Mighty Crown representing Japan, and David Rodigan representing the UK.  This clash was interesting to say the least, because it seemed to combine so many elements: WORLD CLASH 2001 Champions Bass Odyssey and second seed Mighty Crown were caught up in a rematch of their meeting in New York at FACE OFF 2K2 - THE SETTLEMENT; simultaneously, Matterhorn was caught up in himself, trying to gain some ground after cooling off the clash scene for a couple of months; meanwhile, David Rodigan just seemed to be playing his heart out to prove that he is still a force to be reckoned with!!   As it turned out, while Odyssey and Crown had their backs turned busy dealing with one another, Matterhorn stepped up and changed the course of the clash, alas a controversial result!!!! Like it, love it, or dismiss it.. don't make your decision as to the outcome until you've heard the tapes!!! A Must Have!!!> (Also Available on CD) (Also Available on Audio Tape) (Vol 1-3) 4-1-02

*HELL OF A WAR camera.gif (1111 bytes) (JA) <The eternal feud between Panther and Ricky Trooper enters yet another chapter as Jerms Dawg Promotions presents an all out match between the war tanka and the long anticipated Sound Trooper. The warfield was the infamous Deeside, Trelawny, and as expected it was straight up explosive combat!!  Black Kat has had a good year, taking RUMORS OF WAR 2001 in Jamaica and GLOBAL CUIP CLASH 2001 in New York, and although Panther failed to seal the trophy at WORLD CLASH 2001, they did pop off some stripes off of several sounds this year!  Trooper on the other hand has been a bit dormant since his last New York clash (SURVIVOR 2001), and in many clash fans' eyes still has a lot to prove where the clashing abilities of Sound Troopers is concerned.  This was Trooper's first clash using his physical sound system, and he seemed to be on top of his game as he unleashed dubs upon dubs (counteractions galore) punctuated by wicked speech (which including dissing Irish & Chin, Internet message boards, etc)!!  Amidst technical difficulties Kat strugged all night to catch back Trooper's performance, but as we all know Panther does not give up.

WORLD CLASH 2001 Champions Bass Odyssey (now referred to as "Bulletproof") is called on by Real Damage Promotions to show what they've got against the infamous Mr. Hype himself, Fire Links.  The war took place in Chimney Lawn, Cave Valley, St Ann, and as expected it was an all out battle between the first-time Jamaica-America World Champions, and the Fireman who is always capable of inflicting damage on the most formidable of foes!!!  However, it's Bass Odyssey's backyard, and when Squingy commences to flatten the place, Fire Links resorted to playing 45s and Hip Hop in the middle of the clash to get his forwards!! When Squingy turned up the fire again and had the place inna heat, Links interrupterd Bass Odyssey's round, to which Squingy responded by threatening to walk out with the patrons.  Things escalated and an altercation ensued, prematurely ending the clash amidst controversy!!

WORLD CLASH 2001 camera.gif (1111 bytes) (QUEENS) <In a decision that took approximately half hour to decide, the WORLD CLASH 2001 TROPHY was awarded amidst controversy in one of the most grueling WORLD CLASHES ever witnessed!!!  With unconventional rules such as "One No Cursing Round", and "One 45 ONLY Round", it seemed more like a stage show than a WORLD CLASH!!!   Every sound was called upon to defend their Trophy won in recent major clashes year, and though defending WORLD CLASH 2000 Champion Killamanjaro was a "no show", the line up was still enough to make for a death-match with sounds like: Bass Odyssey outta St. Ann (DEATH BEFORE DISHONOR 2001 Champs), Black Kat outta St. Elizabeth (RUMOURS OF WAR 2001 and GLOBAL CUP CLASH 2001 Champs), Poison Dart representing Antigua (ANTIGUAN WORLD CLASH Champs), King Tubbys from the UK (EUROPEAN WORLD CLASH 2001 Champs), and Mighty Crown (WORLD CLASH 1999 Champs).  Prince TuFFiE, Cassette Face, and the Jamworld Music FrEaK Family was on hand to take in the action as the sounds warred it out for the coveted WORLD CLASH TROPHY!!  Punctuated between rounds by wicked performances from the Warlord himself Bounty Killer (Big Up!!), at no point in time did any sound clearly have the lead!! When the clash boiled down to the nitty gritty, all was eliminated except two, and an extra Dud Fi Dub Round had to be added - which itself lent to the controversy surrounding the winner!!  Nuff excitement, nuff counteractions, nuff exclusives, nuff drama, and nuff controversy!!!  A Must Have!!!> (Also Available on Audio Tape) (Vol 1-3) 10-6-01
