15. Aug. 2004 : Streetdate for the New Dubblestandart Album

Dubblestandart returns with the new studio album HEAVY HEAVY MONSTER DUB. This album represents the work of the last 2 years, ever since the release of Streets Of Dub back in 2002.

We've been working on this album together with well-known musicians from the dub community, travelling to Kingston, New York and London, and gaining tons of inspiration along the way. Finally we mixed and finalized the material in our studio in Vienna, providing what we would call the real "Dubblestandart Dub Sound".

By the way, all tracks, except remixes, have been recorded with real drums (Sly Dunbar, Ali Tersch), bass guitar (Robbie Shakespeare, Paul Zasky), guitar (Dany Axmann, Herb Pirker, Jean Bernard Des Carles), Keyboards (Robbie Ost, Axmann) and live percussion (Bongo Herman, Ali Tersch).

Dub remixes were contributed by: Mad Professor, Keith Le Blanc, Manasseh, Seven Dub, Dreadzone and Sounds From The Ground. Mikey Dread, Dillinger and Selector Camel added vocal parts on 3 tracks. "Bless" and nottn' more to say...

Thanks to Devon Denton, who took care of the production in Kingston. He is the man who has always been a huge support for Dubblestandart. Nuff respect!

Finally big ups are going out to Nicolai and all at ECHO BEACH / SELECTCUTS for connecting us with the world wide dub community and for promoting dub reggae music against all odds, believing that music is a strong power, uniting people and turning things up side down in a positive way.

Enjoy the sounds….

label changes

The world wide music industry is going through heavy changes as we see the distribution of music and music-related stuff (CDs, DVDs, mpgs et al) increasingly channelled through the internet. This is propelling the entertainment scene into new territory.

The world wide distribution of Dubblestandart also changed. In the United States business will from now on be handled by forced exposure. In Europe, out from our Hamburg based label echo beach it will be German distributor indigo working with her partners for a good delivery of our products. soul seduction vienna, the new partner for the world wide distribution of select cuts vinyl, will be our exclusive partner for all vinyl records.

What u can take for granted: select cuts (vinyl) / echo beach (cd's) is our home-base for all Dubblestandart releases. (Check their sites for more info.)
