Kavain Wayne Space (born March 11, 1972), known as RP Boo or Arpebu, is an American Chicago-based electronic musician, producer and DJ known as one of the originators of the footwork genre during the 1990s.[2] He released his debut album Legacy on Planet Mu in 2013.
Born in West Chicago, RP Boo started as a DJ and dancer working with the House-O-Matics juke and House crew,[3] making mixtapes, and contributing to the Bud Billiken Parade.[4] His early, self-released singles are cited as foundational to the evolution of the style of Footwork.[5] He produces tracks using a Roland R-70 drum machine and an Akai S01 digital sampler.[6]
