Artists that I admire and love...Derriq Maq/808 Soundlab

One of the great things about Facebook is the fact that I have met and connected with some really talented individuals from around the world. CEO and founder of 808 Soundlab, Derriq Maq is one of them.  I have had the wonderful opportunity to see and hear all the great things that 808 Soundlab is involved in and to call Derriq a friend.




Originally from Texas, DMAQ has worked in the past for the Technics Corporation in Germany. Now back home, he is bringing an abundance of music and current events from around the world to avid listeners. In addition to helping artists on various production projects,  this creative soul can be found formulating new media in Dallas, Texas. DMAQ  launched the 808 Soundlab, a Digital Broadcast Group and the Groove City Collective, a Creative Arts Group. The 808 Soundlab is a network comprised of people dedicated to building relationships through cultural understanding. 808 SL is part of the global music revolution comprising of a worldwide network of production houses, associated artists, eco activists, digital junkies and music advocates.

The 808 Worldcast is a sonic groove of live programming, ecology and global culture. Included in the Worldcast are: The Big 3 Global Issues, the 808 Tech Lounge, 808 Mosiac, 808 Green and 808 Worldbeats features. The guests are some of the most interesting on earth. I was actually interviewed a few months ago and I have a mix on there woo hoo : )

808 Green. allows for one to stay up to date with the latest global data from experts in the process of creating a recyclable, sustainable, zero emission, solar| electric| wind| hydro powered environment for all.

"I just wanted to create a life worth the journey."  Indeed...his spirit, energy and love for music and life make Derriq quite a wonderful person to know. Listen to his message and like his page : ) At the rate Derriq is traveling, it looks to be unfolding at an amazing pace. Stay tuned...
