araabMUZIK is the alter-ego of Abraham Orellana, whose family-ties reach as far as the Dominican Republic and Guatemala. This hip-hop producer has already worked with Busta Rhymes, Ludacris, Skrillex and A$ap Rocky. He professes to be inspired by hip-hop producers like Dr. Dre, Pete Rock and Hi-Tek.

In recent years, araabMUZIK has been impressing with his nimble fingers on MPC. Basically: a digital drum-machine. His visionary take on this instrument is to be seen in the many web-videos he posts on the internet.

Aside from the many mixtapes to be found on the world wide web, ‘Electronic Dream’ from ‘11 is generally considered to be his first commercially available album. His latest album ‘The Remixes vol. 1’ was a – how did you guess– remix-album.

He made a stunning impression at Primavera (Barcelona) and Pukkelpop in ’12.

Scratch duo Skillz Machine, or Eb Kaito and Dj Tmb, will commence the evening. The nimble-fingeredness that araabMUZIK has on his MPC, is what this duo displays behind the turntables.
