Known for being able to make and mix beats live out of everything from traditional Turkish music to metal to electronic, the bona fide master of the MPC is a Guatemalan-Dominicano from Rhode Island known as AraabMUZIK. In this short film, the producer (born Abraham Orellana) talks about his obsession with beats as a kid and puts on a trademark performance, this time linking a field of strobe lights to his drum machine.

AraabMUZIK released his first commercial album, Electronic Dream, in August.
