History


The band was founded in 1987 by original members, Paul Zasky, Robbie Ost, Johnny Heilig and Operator Marek. Today's setup consists of two of the original members, Paul Zasky (bass guitar, vocals) and Robbie Ost (dub mix, studio production), with the addition from 1993 of Ali Tersch on drums, and from 2001 of Herbert Pirker on guitar. Tersch has drummed for Supermax, while Pirker also plays guitar with House of Riddim, a backing band for international reggae artists. Since 1989, Dubblestandart has performed live with their own program, and as a backing band in Europe, Canada, Russia, India and Switzerland.

The band was discovered by music journalist Walter Gröbchen, when in 1992 they won a DJ competition on the radio show Die Musicbox, at that time Austria's only program covering independent music.


Touring and live performances


Together with Lee "Scratch" Perry and Ari Up they performed at New York City's Central Park Summerstage in 2009[2] and with Perry and Adrian Sherwood at the Geometry of Now Festival 2017, in Moscow, Russia.[3] Dubblestandart had previously worked with Perry in 1992 for a series of live shows in Europe.

Dubblestandart toured through Canada in 2006 and 2008, performing at the Vancouver Folk Music Festival,[4][5] the Vancouver Island Music Festival, and the Hillside Festival. In 2013 they performed in Goa, India, at the Live At The Console festival with MC Delhi Sultanate and Begum X, who are the lead singers of The Ska Vengers.[6]


Recording


They have released studio albums and singles of their own material as well as various remixes for several artists like Waldeck and Supermax.

The album Egalica was released in 1994 on GiG Records, a label owned by Markus Spiegel. Spiegel also signed Falco for the musician's first recordings. In 1996 Dubblestandart were signed by Christoph Moser to the label, Hoanzl Tonwaren.[7][8]

Since 2002 Dubblestandart has been signed to the German label Echo Beach, named after the Martha and the Muffins 1979 song, "Echo Beach". The Echo Beach label is based in Hamburg, Germany and was founded by Nicolai Beverungen, who previously worked for Adrian Sherwood's On-U Sound Records, African Head Charge and Zap Mama.

The album IN DUB was produced by Sherwood for On-U Sound Records, London. The album Return From Planet Dub featured "Scratch" Perry and Ari Up, and film director David Lynch on a dub reggae adaptation of Jean Michel Jarre's Oxygen Part 4.

In 2017 Paul Zasky produced a studio album with Austrian singer-songwriter GuGabriel which was released in early 2019. During the 2017 Licht ins Dunkel ('Light Into Darkness') charity campaign, a "telethon" from the Austrian National Broadcasting corporation, ORF, both performed for the president of Austria, Dr Alexander Van der Bellen at his residence, the Vienna Hofburg.

The band produces at GoEast Studios Vienna on mostly original analog equipment. Robbie Ost, who is the studio's owner, was able to purchase a Solide State Mixing console E 6000 for the studio. This mixing board was originally used and owned by Tears For Fears during their 1989 production of the Sowing the Seeds of Love production in London. In the late 1990s, the board was purchased and brought to Vienna.
