PROPApeople

Propa’s introduction into the electronic music scene was just as unremarkable as anyone else’s: he could be found frequenting Edmonton’s club nights and jamming out on the dancefloor to the city’s local djs. These first encounters were all it took for him to realize he wanted to contribute something more to the scene, so he bought a set of turntables and the story began. With a finely tuned ear for body moving beats, it didn't take this dj long to settle into the bass heavy sound of breaks, and he started his dj career by landing a two-year residency at Edmonton's local afterhours club, Therapy. Since then, Propa has collaborated with other local artists to guest dj for and start-up nights at clubs such as Your Apartment, Decadence, Backroom Vodka Bar and Velvet Underground, and has opened for such djs as Blim, Hyper, Czech, Marty Mcfly, Myagi, Smalltown Djs, and Fort Knox Five. More recently, Propa has been affiliated with Subterranean Sound alongside Sista Sweetz, playing a role in bringing in some top-notch breaks talent to the city. In the past two years, he has won the opportunity to rock the party at Jasper’s Atha-B Hotel and play mid-mountain on Marmot Basin for Kokanee’s Freeride Dj Competition. Propa currently guest djs a new night called “Class is in” on Wednesdays at Wooly Bully’s.Propa plays with a fast, aggressive mixing style, seamlessly blending each track to break and build with one another for a body moving set. With sounds influenced by all sub-genres of breaks to create a style distinctly his own, expect to hear this guy do it up proper with his bass-infused funk-laced beats.
