Sound system (DJ)

A sound system is a group of DJs contributing and working together as one, making one kind of particular electronic music. This use has probably derivated from the extensive use of sound reinforcement systems by DJs.

Some bands or producers like to call themselves or are refered to as sound systems, for example Dub Narcotic Sound System or the On-U Sound System. Other bands, like Asian Dub Foundation, make a distinction: when they are advertised as Asian Dub Foundation the whole band performs, but when other times they announce themselves as Asian Dub Foundation Sound System only the DJ of the band mixes and plays music (music by other artists, rather than by ADF) while one or two MCs rap over the songs.
