LEGENDARY CLASHES
Stone Love vs. Killamanjaro (1990s)
The rivalry that defined modern clash. Endless dubplates, iconic rewinds, and a split crowd. Still debated today.
World Clash Finals (2004)
First international clash streamed online. Mighty Crown (Japan) defeated Sentinel (UK) in a 4‑hour battle.
SelassieFest 2024
Chicago Rebel Sound upset defending champion Kingston Thunder with a surprise Bob Marley dubplate in the final round.
CLASH ETIQUETTE
Make Noise
Cheer, whistle, wave your hands. The selector feeds off your energy. If you love a tune, demand a rewind!
No Disrespect
Healthy rivalry is encouraged, but booing and throwing objects is not allowed. One love, one clash.
Stay to the End
The final dubplate round often decides the winner. Don't leave early — you might miss history.
