04: Abe Duque - DJ, Producer, Audio Engineer, On World Touring & Beating The Recording Industry
“Today's Creator is Abe Duque, DJ, Producer and Mixing/ Mastering Engineer for 343 Studios. He’s "one of the few producers still licensed to use the 303" and has performed under many names including: N.Y. TK, Fantastico, Tension Posse, and the The Super Secret Symphony. Abe is the guy who helped me take my EP from a pile of cats scratching each other to what can more generously be described as music. It’s great to see you again, thanks for coming on.”
