Soundclash in Martinique...by the Book
What a Bam! Bam!
SOUNDCLASH IN MARTINIQUE… BY THE BOOK!
Every clash according to the rules of the Art follows a carefully orchestrated sequence set by the event organizer!
The first WAT A BAM! BAM! night will take place on Saturday, November 11 in Martinique at a secret location.
RULE 1 — THE SEGMENTS
A segment is a technical term from the SoundMen jargon referring to a specific selection of music played either at a key moment during the night or for a set duration during a SoundClash.
At the end of each segment, the audience will vote using a decibel meter to award the victory of the segment to their chosen selector.
“ ART OF JUGGLING ”
For 20 minutes, each selector will take turns showcasing their musical identity to the crowd.

“ DJ ”
For 15 minutes, each selector will take turns playing exclusively a selection of tracks performed by DJs or Singjays.

“ DUB FI DUB ”
The moment of anthology that every selector dreads or eagerly anticipates in a SoundClash is indeed the Dub fi Dub!

“45ShootOut”
The Watabambam nights are not just simple clashes but the dawn of a unique competition worldwide in the form of a championship where each selector earns points and joins an international ranking.
Our rules are the result of thoughtful consideration and a desire to offer an event where the Massive and selectors can both see and experience a show, enjoy the music to … DANCE and, above all, say that the night was of a kind .. WAT A BAM BAM!!!
