You never really know whose tracks are being played,” stated Pageot. “Then, you hear a flute on Fantasy Factory and you know it’s a Pageot original. The hip-hop, street-oriented music with a flute is totally unique and changes the flow of the series, without changing the style.”
Music Supervisor for Fantasy Factory, Ben Hochstein more
