These days, no house DJ’s flash drive is complete without a “Proppa Treatment.” Chicago native producer Proppa is quickly becoming a hot topic in electronic music. His remixes have earned support from some of the industry’s heaviest hitters, and his 2024 breakout year was fueled by viral remixes of Waka Flocka Flame’s “Grove St. Party” and A$AP Ferg’s “Work,” alongside his chart-topping cover of “Always On Time.” Inspired by the hype rap of the 2010s, Proppa’s DJ sets deliver meticulously crafted blends and unforgettable moments. He’s your favorite producer, favorite producer, and he’s set to make a lot of noise in 2025.

Proppa‘s journey through the EDM scene has seen his sound evolve, but his unwavering passion has remained a constant force in his evolution. He has made a name for himself in the underground house scene with his extensive catalog of banging “Proppa Treatments” remixes on his SoundCloud. With two releases already making waves under his current label EXCEED, a division of Vicious Records, Proppa celebrated a milestone as one of his coveted remixes broke through to major streaming platforms. Last Friday, November 3, he unleashed “Always On Time.”

Proppa: I’m Proppa! I’m a 28-year-old DJ and producer from Chicago.

BK: How long have you been making music? Do you play any instruments? What is your hardware/software setup like? How do you feel technology has evolved your music?

P: I’ve been making music for nearly 12 years. I play pretty much anything you put in my hands if I have a few minutes to figure it out. But I mainly play guitar and drums. I have a studio at home that I take a lot of pride in. It’s acoustically treated and the perfect creative rocket ship to work in every day. I use Logic Pro!
