About

AraabMUZIK - Live

Label: KOCH / BABYGRANDE
Abraham Orellana, better known as “AraabMuzik” is an American hip hop record producer of Dominican and Guatemalan descent. From Providence, Rhode Island, he first rose to fame after showcasing his skills of making live beats and instrumentals on a MPC drum machine on the internet. Being known to use MPC (which is widely used by various producers within the hip-hop genre) as an instrument, he has been able to stand out from many other musicians with his ability to produce rapid, rhythmic drum patterns as well as making melodies using various samples and other sounds all at once. He has worked with artists including Cam’ron & Vado, The Diplomats, Hell Rell, Jadakiss, Busta Rhymes and Fabolous amongst many others.

Born the middle child of three in a musical household, Orellana’s mother was a one-time professional singer. He learnt to play the drums at the age of three, and then began playing the keyboard and producing his own music age ten. Citing his influences as producers including Dr. Dre, Swizz Beatz, The Heatmakerz, Just Blaze and 9th Wonder, he first began making beats using keyboards and computer software programs, before moving to the MPC drum machine.

After meeting with record producer and A&R of Diplomat Records, DukeDaGod in 2006, he was able to become associated with label and began making music under the Duke Da God Productions imprint. He began making beats for Diplomat artists such as Hell Rell and Cam’ron, for songs which appeared on various mixtapes.

AraabMuzik’s production style mainly relies heavily on samples which are cut up and chopped on the MPC drum machine, alongside fast paced drum patterns involving rapid hi-hats and powerful kick drums. It is noted that he samples different types of music compared to many hip-hop producers who rely mainly on soul and jazz sampling, with AraabMuzik using parts from electro and trance music.

His most recent album Electronic Dream was just awarded Pitchfork’s coveted “Best New Music”.
