Abe Duque’s (pronounced Do-key) career started in the early days of New York house as a resident at the legendary Limelight club for his co-run Abuse Industries night. Having been both a US marine and a pioneer of underground music in his time his earliest releases as Kirlian date back to 1992 and the sheer length of his discography and remix history shows the depth of his versatile production character; much like this ‘Fear & Loathing’ style tour diary irks him out as intelligent and likeable fellow...



Performing in WANG’s takeover of Room 2 alongside Blake Baxter he’s kindly provided us, exclusively, with the first part in a summer trilogy of mixes he’s dubbed: ‘Music For Poolside Dance Parties’ which you can download and bump loud over at our soundcloud profile.

Duque is also perched on the release of a 2 CD retrospective collection called ‘Live And On Acid,’ which was today described by music portal Resident Advisor:

“The first disc is a recording of one of Duque's recent sets, with a dozen of his own productions and remixes woven into 70 minutes of steely techno. On the second, he takes a more retrospective approach, mixing up some of the classics that have stayed in his bag throughout his long and illustrious career, including cuts by Mr. Fingers, Logic, Detroit Grand Pubahs and more. The compilation features three previously unreleased tracks by Duque: "Bigbomb," "Bumble Bee" and "V2."”
