Paul Zasky Dub & Reggae Bass Guitarist

A high energy as well as riddim controlling bass player, that fuses a classic reggae music approach and understanding, with todays contemporary bass music dynamics. Dub Reggae, Drum & Bass, Industrial, Cosmic Space Music, Indie Rock, Alternative Music, RnB, Hip Hop, Soul Music, Funk. Just to give u an idea. I can relate to a lot of sonic vibrations that are out there. Basically no categories applied!

Paul & his band Dubblestandart have been touring Europe since the early 90’s, promoting their High Energy Dub style. Their critically acclaimed Return From Planet Dub album with Grammy winning Lee Scratch Perry, Film director David Lynch & Ari Up from the Slits marked a peak in their career, collaborating with stars of the Dub & Reggae scene such as Marica Griffiths, Carol Wheeler (Soul2Soul), Ken Boothe, Mikey Dread, Dillinger, Mad Professor, Dennis Bovell, Adrian Sherwood, Rob Smith, Dreadzone, Sounds From The Ground and countless others. Dubblestandart played at the Summerstage concert series in NYC Central Park 2009, Moscow-Russia 2017, Goa-India 2013 and toured Canada 2003 & 2008. Paul also played bass for Lee Perry on all his North American Live dates 2009 – 2017 as part of Subatomic Sound System, including 2 Coachella appearances 2013.

Outta LA he also runs his new project The New Blade Runners of Dub.
Built on the legacy of his internationally known Dub Band, The New Blade Runners of Dub blend new visions of sound with Paul’s European shaped Dub background in a unique way. Reconfiguring rhythm driven music for new generations.
