WELCOME TO THE OFFICIAL WEBSITE 1-2-3
BADDA DAN CLASH
ruffPack is proud to announce 20 anniversary of 1-2-3 Badda dan Clash!  DI BADDEST TROPHY IN THE WORLD! In 2005, Biel-Bienne celebrated the premiere of what was then a unique event: the 1-2-3 Badda dan Clash. Born out of the vision of ruffPack, who wanted to give the local scene its own format after their victory at the very first Swiss Dancehall Clash in 2004, the event quickly developed into a permanent institution. The goal: to raise the profile of Jamaican clash culture in Switzerland and give the scene more weight. Since then, countless formats have been implemented – from 1-on-1 duels and tag team clashes to international qualifiers on several continents. Under the title Destination Badda dan, clashes have taken place in America, Canada, Japan, Guyana, England, and throughout Europe. Over the past 20 years, more than 100 sound crews from all over the world have competed for the prestigious title of Badda dan Champion and the baddest Trophy of the world. Some of the battles were hosted by true clash legends such as David Rodigan, Tony Matterhorn, Robbo Ranks, Young Lion, Bass Odyssey, King Shine, and others. On November 29, 2025, the event will return to its roots – to the place where it all began: the legendary Coupole (Gaskessel) in Biel-Bienne. No other clash worldwide has been held continuously in the same venue for over two decades. A top-class line-up awaits fans for the anniversary: Derrick Sound (Switzerland) – runner-up in the very first Badda dan Clash in 2005 Dynamq (South Sudan) – internationally acclaimed for energetic performances on the world's biggest stages Soul Stereo (France) – an institution of European reggae, known for their dubplates and decades of touring experience X-TA-C 4x4 (England) – already in Switzerland in 2006 in clash fever against ruffPack in Geneva, now back for the anniversary edition of the world's biggest clash A soundclash is much more than a concert – it's a musical duel. With exclusive dubplates, energetic MCing, provocations, and direct announcements, the sound systems battle for the audience's favor. In the end, the crowd decides who emerges victorious with cheers and noise. Twenty years after its premiere, the Coupole in Biel will once again become an arena: with charged vibes, special music production, world-famous sounds, and an atmosphere that will remain unforgettable even for newcomers. 20 years of 1-2-3 Badda dan Clash – November 29, 2025, Coupole Biel-Bienne.

WHAT IS A SOUNDCLASH
|
|
In a Soundclash participate two or
more sounds/sound systems alternating, mostly over
several rounds, within a fixed time, their productions,
made by singers individualy for the sound, the so-called
Dubplates, against each other, which is still heated up
by the MCs of the sounds. It's a measure in a musical
contest. High point of a Clash is the Dub fi Dub, in
which the sounds play alternating song for song their
strongest and often rarest Dubplates. Usually are those
Dubs in-sung by foundation Singers on foundation
Riddims. In a clash with more than two sounds will be a
voting after every/some rounds. The Host announce all
the sound successively, the public vote with handsigns
and noise. The sound with the less votes can’t join the
next round. The last sound who will stay in the clash is
the winner, the champion, and will get the trophy and
the title
