The sound was started back in 1989 by Keith Walford, who later partnered with Bunny Hayles to form the world-renowned Bass Odyssey.

That's when the original team of Tinna One, Glamma G, and the late Squingy who died in 2009 came together.

This sound not only plays at sound clashes, they are also a party sound.

In addition to weekly appearances in Jamaica, Bass Odyssey also performs in the Caribbean, Central America, the United States, Canada, Europe and Japan on several occasions.

Odyssey, as it is sometimes called, has a new team of selectors, as the original selectors have moved on, some on a sole career.

The new selectors are Mark, Worm, Charly Black, Dj Lexxy, Dwayne, Dj Keithy, Speng, Shane, Harry D, Villy and Dj Rat.

They played and won the UK Cup Clash in 2006, 2007 and 2008. Most recently in 2009, Odyssey won the Guinness Sounds of Greatness competition held in Jamaica.

They have also won the Irish and Chin world clash which used to be on stage at Pier One, Montego Bay a number of Times.
