Music producer and mix engineer in Anand, Gujarat
Dr.dawgOG is a hip-hop music producer, beat maker and mix engineer in Anand, Gujarat, India. The basement studio makes boom bap, sample-flip, trap and drill beats and mixes and masters rap vocals for Gujarati, Hindi and English artists. In-person sessions are available in Anand and the Charotar region, with Vadodara and Ahmedabad an hour away; artists in Surat, Rajkot, the rest of Gujarat, India and abroad work remotely. The credits are Gujarati hip-hop: nine records with TRIGO and three with Rhuin, all produced here.
What you can book
Custom beats
Boom bap and sample flips are the house style: drums chopped on an SP-404, Indian folk and film records cut at 45 rpm, basslines pushed until they break. Trap, drill and melodic beats are built the same way, from the crate up, with the 808 tuned to the sample. Beats are made for the artist's record, not sold off a shelf, and exclusive rights are available. Hear the current tape on the home page reel.
Mixing and mastering
Rap vocals over a two-track beat, or a full stem mix, delivered as a streaming-ready master. Tiers are priced in rupees with the turnaround and revisions stated up front on the mixing and mastering page. The vocal chain uses tools built in this room: gate, breath control, vocal rider, tuning, de-esser, resonance control, compression, saturation, doubling and delay throws, then a LUFS-metered master.
Full production
A Gujarati, Hindi or English rap song from beat to master: the instrumental, the arrangement around the verses and hook, vocal production during recording, mix and master. This is how every record in the credits was made.
Gujarati rap production
Gujarati hip-hop is the core of the work here, not a side genre. The 2026 credits are nine records with TRIGO (What is BESTISM, Jebkatra, Light Camera Action, Shit i would die for, Competition, Fuck That Shit, Click Clack Boom, Jhul le jaake, Kaccha limbu) and three with Rhuin (DYKS, Haavaj, Varistha), written in Gujarati, Gujlish and Hindi. Producing in Gujarati means knowing where the language sits rhythmically, how a garba or dayro reference lands under a boom-bap drum, and how much tuning a hook can take before it stops sounding like the rapper. The scene, its cities and its artists are covered on the Gujarati hip-hop reference page.

- Get a scope and a price in rupees. Mixing tiers are published; beats and full production are quoted per project.

Why a producer in Anand
Most of Gujarat's hip-hop infrastructure sits in Ahmedabad and Surat. Anand is the middle of the state, an hour from both Ahmedabad and Vadodara, with a basement studio that has been making boom bap since 2014 and a producer who also builds the plugins the mixes run on. Rappers from the Charotar towns no longer have to travel to a metro to record with someone who works in their language, and artists elsewhere get the same room remotely.
