Tour de Force (TDF) is a new generation sound system collective hailing from Brooklyn, New York. Founded by beat maker/vocalist Jay Spaker aka “Double Tiger” and sound system operator/selector Quoc Pham aka DJ Q-Mastah, TDF is rooted in the tradition of Jamaican sound systems while keeping an eye to the future. Inspired by their iconic 15,000 watts handcrafted wooden speaker stack, TDF’s productions combine elements of dub, hip hop and electronica, often featuring collaborations with established vocalists and MCs such as Brother Culture, Ranking Joe, Luciano and Jahdan Blakkamoore.
