Feed Your Stereo with Araabmuzik's Brand New Mixtape

Araabmuzik's a master of the Akai MPC sampler - probably the most celebrated tools of the hip hop producer's arsenal. He's been proclaimed, and seldom disputed, the MVP of the MPC - a title that he fully deserves. You only have to google his name to see the leagues of videos of him using and abusing his chosen sampler, but there's a real hypnotic aspect to watching the Dipset producer attack the drum pads of the machine live. Going at it in such a flurry of fingertips and oversize watches is what makes his live shows all the more memorable, in a performance where he's controlling and triggering every single sound you hear the fact that he can hit and lock in all these complicated rhythm patterns is absolutely mind boggling... After his varyingly received debut solo album Electronic Dream and ahead of his very first appearance here in Farringdon he went and dropped his brand new project, the For Professional Use Only mixtape late last week. A collection of 20 beats, they range from all out club fodder to more pensive productions but they're all delivered and channeled through Araab's incredibly well seasoned and educated fingers. Download: Araabmuzik - For Professional Use Only (via Live Mixtapes) Catch Araabmuzik performing live alongside Rustie in Room One on Friday 1st March. Advance tickets here.
