ABE DUQUE'S THIRD ALBUM, "DON'T BE SO MEAN", IS A WONDERFULLY HOMOGENOUS MIX OF HIS TRADEMARK FIST-PUMPING SOUND AND A RARELY REVEALED MEDITATIVE, DREAMY SIDE. THE ELECTRIFYING "TONIGHT IS YOUR ANSWER" AND THE OPTIMISTIC "LIFE IS SO GOOD TO ME" DELIVER THE THUMP YOU'VE BECOME ACCUSTOMED TO, AS DO THE TWO GORGEOUS NUMBERS "FOLLOWING MY HEART" WITH TANTALISING VOCALS BY VIRGINIA AND "SALUTE THE DAWN", A COLLABORATION BETWEEN ABE AND REGULAR SIDEKICK TIJANA T (WITH CONTRIBUTIONS FROM DEBUSSY AND HENRY THOREAU). THE NUMBERS "WHY DO THEY NEED US" AND "OFMA" OFFSET THIS DRIVE WITH ETHEREAL ELECTRONICA.
DARK ACID BASSLINES, LATIN PERCUSSION, DEEP-HOUSE GROOVES, PIANO INSTRUMENTALS ... "DON'T BE SO MEAN" UNITES ABE'S LAST TWO YEARS OF PERFORMING HIS LIVE SHOW FROM AUSTRALIA TO JAPAN, THE US TO BERLIN, BARCELONA TO SOUTH AMERICA, HOLLAND TO EASTERN EUROPE, AND HIS RELEASES ON ACCLAIMED LABELS TRESOR AND DISKO-B, AS WELL AS WARNER BROS, INTERNATIONAL DJ GIGOLOS, SAHKO, TENSION, ABUSE, MILLE PLATEAUX, SONIC GROOVE, RAPTURE AS ABE DUQUE AS WELL AS ALTER EGOS KIRLIAN, SUPER SECRET SYMPHONY, FACIL AND THE TECHNO SUPERGROUP JAM, THE RANCHO RELAXO ALL-STARS....
