For the 3rd of our "Introducing..." articles based on the debut "East Project Friends Vol 1" release and the artists that feature on it, we thought that this time we would head over to South American and catch up with the amazing Monrabeatz!
For those that don’t know you, please introduce yourself and
your sound?
Hello everybody, I'm Ramon Chamberlain, known as Monrabeatz, I'm a Brazilian DJ, producer and hip hop beatmaker... I was born in Campo Mourao - Paraná, but I grew in Curitiba -
Paraná, state capita.
I've been in touch with good music since I'm a baby. My parents are
musician and I grew up hearing many good 70' / 80's Brazilian sounds; artists like Baden Powell, Vinicius de Moraes, Cartola,
Cassiano, Caetano Veloso and many others... But when I was about 10 years old, I start to listen to many hip hop
mixtapes, from artists like wu tang clan, group home, guru, the fugees,
jurassic 5, and a lot of Brazilian groups too.
Ohh that remix... I just love it! I love The Fugees, since I'm a kid and the Ready Or Not track just makes me feel amazing!! So I did the
remix and put a preview on my Soundcloud account and wrote in the description "2000
plays = free download".
The people hear the mix and go crazy.. so they started re-post and
share it a lot. In a few days the track got to 2000 plays, but I only saw it 2 days later. When I logged into my account, many guys asking me for the download link and
giving me amazing feedback. I was very happy.
Deep House, NuDisco and G-house is proving to be really
popular in Brazil right now. Is it nice
to be in the middle of that?
Yes, it's wonderful!! It is a pleasure for me to produce music and
see the people going crazy in the clubs with my own productions and many other
artists playing my music around the world... Its very very gratifying.
You are releasing music on a variety of labels (Sleazy Deep,
Dear Deer, Dialtone, Beachside, Miami Underground) but what has been your
favourite release so far?
I love all the labels who are releasing my music, so it's
hard say which is my favourite release... I love all!! hahahahaha
What can people expect from a Monrabeatz record and who are your biggest musical influences?
Guys... certainly, big big things are coming. I'm doing crazy work in my studio, so keep in touch with my channel, and don't miss the news ;)
Bro my biggest influences are from the legendary hip hop
producers, J Dilla, 9th Wonder, Hi-tek, Dr. Dre and more... Its my inspiration, always.
