Urban Music Mixing & Mastering Engineer | Method Man, KRS-One, Redman, Raekwon, Inspectah Deck & More
Hi, I'm Pascal 'P-Version' Zumaque, a veteran Urban Music Mixing & Mastering Engineer with over 30 years of experience in the music industry. Born into a musical family and starting my instrumentalist journey at the age of five, I later honed my craft in composition in Germany and started working in a recording studio.
My knowledge of music theory, combined with a passion for Hip-Hop, led me to specialize in the iconic New York Hip-Hop sound. I’ve had the privilege of working with legendary artists like Method Man, KRS-One, and the Wu-Tang Clan, Mos-Def alongside top-tier brands such as McDonald's, GM, and Toyota.
I bring a unique mix of bass-heavy energy, crisp clarity, and punch to every project, ensuring vocals shine and tracks hit with maximum impact. My goal is always to exceed your expectations with precision and creativity. I’m committed to delivering outstanding results—punctual, responsive, and dedicated to bringing your vision to life.

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.

A: Starting preliminary work on Method Man's 4th "Meth Lab" album. Finishing another Wu-Tang affiliated project feat Raekwon, Shyheim and others.

A: The work we'll do together will leave you happy
Q: What do you like most about your job?
A: The evolution of the sound throughout the mixing process, the energy that's built in a song and the end result. I love music.

Ever since I've been working in different cities on different projects, from the advertizing to the recording industry.
Q: How would you describe your style?
A: Clean and present vocals, clarity in the mix, heavy bass and punchy drums.

A: Over 30 years of production and sound engineering experience, along with my musical knowledge helps bring my clients' vision to fruition.
