Rajiv Münch (born 29 July 1989), better known by his stage name Munchi, is a Dutch producer and DJ of Dominican descent, born and raised in Rotterdam, Netherlands.[2] He is credited to have made "the first truly original work" for moombahton, taking "the sound to the next level"[3] and being the originator of moombahcore.[4] Even though Munchi is credited mainly for moombahton, it was his versatility and unique production style that brought him into public attention.[5][6] Notably producing a wide selection of genres and incorporating these elements in his music.[7][8] This is best represented in the Murda Sound debut on T&A Records, consisting of a wide variety of genres doing Munchi's versatility justice.[9] In December 2010 Munchi was featured with 3 tracks on M.I.A.'s Vicki Leekx mixtape,[10] and in July 2012 on Azealia Banks' Fantasea mixtape, with the track "Esta Noche."

Background

[edit]

Munchi started making music in 2004 when his brother bought him Acid Pro.[11] He met future collaborator David Heartbreak via MySpace in 2009. After Munchi mentioned Dave Nada's Moombahton EP, Heartbreak wanted to learn more about the genre and invited him to Charlotte.[12] While touring the United States in March 2011, Munchi suffered a seizure caused by an intracerebral hemorrhage. After learning of Münch's condition, fellow producers DJ Ayres, Tittsworth and Dave Nada organised a fundraiser "to pay for surgery, medication and flight home for the non-American insured producer".[13] He spent 9 hours in coma and 11 days in the hospital, but when noticing the overwhelming support it inspired him to recover faster during 2011.[14][15]
