We've been looking forward to our first post on Onomatopoeia, but we wanted to wait for something special. This mini documentary on the Rhode Island MPC wizard AraabMUZIK seemed like the perfect way to start things off. Gone are the days when hip-hop producers spent more time crate-digging for obscure ancient samples then they did on their actual equipment: the source material on this young producer's debut LP "Electronic Dream" is bargain-bin commercial trance music, which he chops and cuts through ruthlessly with his ultra-compressed hip-hop beats. Listen to the stand out track "Streetz Tonight" below and you can decide for yourself whether you'd rather grind or fist pump.
