Well, my name is Andrés Mata, I’m 24 y/o and I’ve been a producer for almost 8 years now, my producer name is AfroQuakeR (I used to have a huge afro so, that’s why) I’m from Venezuela, and I can successfully produce almost 8 genres of dance music, due to my country’s regulations it has been kind of hard to get exposure, that’s why I think this initiative is perfect for producers like me around the world…
Where are you located?
Right now I live in Valencia, Venezuela
What’s your sound? Who does your sound relate to?
Actually I can make Future, Grime, Chill, Festival and many more, but I prefer Experimental above all, I haven’t find anyone my sounds can relate to in a 100% but producers like Hucci, Brothel & RL Grime sometimes give me the same feeling as my tracks does..
Who/What inspires you?
A lot of stuff actually, one of them is giving people the opportunity to feel good with something I made from start to finish, another huge inspiration is the fact of being one of the first all genres Venezuelan Producers, but the main thing that is my goal, is to be known around the world as one of the most versatile producers ever, that’s why I get up every morning…
You’re trapped in a small room; your life depends on one dope track. Who do you work with?
Liam Howlett any day, he’s the one why I started this journey, he’s a master sound engineer with a HUGE experience on making trippy ass sounds, and that’s my jam, listen to The Prodigy’s Climbatize and you’ll see what im talking about…
What’s your plan with the 10k?
At first, buy a ticket out of my country, things are fucked up right here, after that, buy all new equipment, and start to get my music heard around the globe, also buy a bunch of stuff you know how that is..
How can people find you?
