The revival of live MPC is taking place these days in the world of hip-hop so much so that the New York Times is noticing it. Leading the charge is Dipset’s rising production star, AraabMuzik. Known to few as Arabhram Orellanes, Araabmuzik has not only worked with hip-hop’s biggest names but has also been recognized for his talent that he has chosen to bring it to people live instead of letting them hearing it via albums or online.
The MPC (which stands for music production center) allows anyone to combine a drum machine and a sampler to crank out endless beats. Each pad found on the machine has a distinct sound when touched and those who master it usually play it a ferocious speed.
Take AraabMuzik for example, his hands and fingertips are lightning quick when you watch his work which is all part of the allure of the MPC as an instrument as it’s slowly becoming something people would rather witness for themselves rather than recorded versions. You can view the performance mentioned in the article right above. Dude is incredible live.
