Jason O'Bryan is a record producer and bassist from London, England. He was a member of the Dub Pistols (1997–2010) and worked on the Grammy Award nominated soundtrack of the film Y Tu Mamá También. He currently teaches at the Institute of Contemporary Music Performance.
By the mid-'90s the London-based producer was releasing records under the ‘Ceasefire’ moniker on the Wall of Sound label (including Trickshot feat. Al Pacino), and recording for Belgium’s techno label R&S Records with partner Meat Katie as Avenue A alongside Joey Beltram, Jaydee, C.J Bolland and Aphex Twin. Midway through the decade he joined the Dub Pistols, headed by ex-club promoter Barry Ashworth.
The Dub Pistols initial Point Blank album surfed the late '90s big beat wave with tracks like Cyclone, Westway and There's Gonna Be A Riot championed by Norman Cook, Afrika Bambaata and the Chemical Brothers. The band's first singles were There's Gonna Be a Riot and Best Got Better in 1998. The album came out the same year.
The band's second album Six Million Ways To Live, signed to major US label Geffen, featured guest vocals by Terry Hall from The Specials, Planet Asia and long term Massive Attack vocalist Horace Andy, the album’s success led to O'Bryan working alongside Barry Ashworth as the producer and remixer of choice for many popular artists including Moby, Limp Bizkit, Ian Brown, Bush, Korn, Natalie Imbruglia, Bono (U2), Lily Allen, Rob Zombie, Scissor Sisters, Audioweb, Arkarna, Banco de Gaia, Bow Wow Wow, The Crystal Method, Scapegoat Wax, Sly & Robbie, The Freestylers, Apollo 440, Mantronix, Hurricane No.1, Collapsed Lung & Dee Patten.
