Arawakan is a house-music label based in Brooklyn, New York. Launched in January 2014 by Afro house producer Victor Hernandez, also known as Realm of House, its name derives from the Arawakan language family of the indigenous peoples of the Caribbean. The label releases Afro house music and, since launching, has maintained a consistent presence on the Afro House chart; it notes that most of its releases have reached the chart's Top 10.
