Mixing and mastering engineer to Method Man's new album "Meth Lab Season 3: The Rehab"
With 30 years of engineering experience, I've specialized in the New York Hip-Hop sound and have had the fortune of working with some of the best rappers in the world.
As the son of a composer, I got into music at the age of five.
I play the flute, bass, guitar, saxophone and piano.
I studied composition in Germany till the age of 18,
started composing and mixing music for commercials in New York at the age of 19.
Clients included McDonald's, GM, Allstate, Toyota, Tide,
a Denali commercial featuring Mos-Def, Fat Joe on a Bacardi commercial and many more.
I worked as a recording and mixing engineer in many New York Studios,
where in Staten Island I ended up working with Method Man and most of the Wu Tang Clan.

• Mixing

• Original, sample free production to fit any song or direction

It was a pleasure and a great experience working with Pascal. He was a total professional, was very patient, and he communicates well to understand exactly what you're looking for in a mix. He also has a great ear for the details, and I'm planning to collaborate with him again for a few more songs.
Pascal is the real deal. I write and record my own music and I can do a decent job of mixing, but when I want something to sound on par with the stuff you hear on the radio I send the tracks to him and he sends me back something beautiful. Pascal has magic ears and obviously knows his way around a studio. I have other musical artist friends who work with him as well. We all know where to go to get the right sound.
