Pascal Gabriel is a Belgian-born musician based in London and France.
His musical career began in 1977 in the punk rock band The Razors (bass guitar and backup vocals). He left Belgium for London in the late 1970s and worked as a freelance sound engineer in various studios, earning a reputation for innovative remixes for artists like Marc Almond (Soft Cell) and Yello.
From 1981 to 1982 Gabriel was half of Music for All, a collaborative project with John Lipnicki. The first performance was in an operating supermarket in west London on 21 March 1982. Following further improvised electronic performances Gabriel left to concentrate on studio work while Laurence Hughes joined Lipnicki in Music for All.
Toward the end of the 1980s, Gabriel was a producer and co-writer for S'Express and Bomb the Bass—two of the first sample-heavy dancefloor artisans of that era. He claimed a number one UK single with the S'Express track "Theme from S'Express" and a number two with Bomb the Bass' "Beat Dis."
Following the success of S'Express and Bomb the Bass, Gabriel embarked on a series of projects, mixing, producing and writing with a variety of artists, including Claudia Brücken (formerly of Propaganda), Erasure, and Debbie Harry from Blondie.
