Ménage à Trois

 

Precursive proponents of the 21st Century Dub soundz, Dubblestandart started in 1988 in a Vienna, Austria 2nd district basement that they fondly called The Controller Station. It was located just around the block from Flex, where legendary Dub Club took place.

They achieved breakthrough success in 1992 with the release of their debut Feel the Balance. The band has collaborated with Lee "Scratch" Perry, Ari Up from the Slits, & film director David Lynch among many others.

The band was originally made up of Paul Zasky, Robbie Ost, Johnny Heilig, & Operator Marek. Their latest configuration consists of two of the original members, Paul Zasky - bass guitar, vocals & Robbie Ost Dub mixer, studio production with the addition since 1993 of Ali Tersch on drums & since 2001, Herbert Pirker on guitar.

In the 21st Century they have fully embraced the new Dub soundz. They have released at least 12 full length discs on Collision: Cause of Chapter 3 & Echo Beach. 

 



In my Dub voyages, I have heard some great Dub reworkings of their music by Old Skool produce Dennis Bovell (@ Repulse "Reggae Classics" 2021) & New Skool producer Paolo Baldini (Dub Me Crazy 2020). 

 



Decided I'd make this set...
