Artist of the Day: Propa Tingz

Propa Tingz, aka BreakBeatBuddha, originally from the UK, now holds it down in the Bay Area. His style is described as, "a devious, bass-heavy blend of Breaks and glitched-out, Dancehall vibes for the Headz." He's collaborated with some big artists like KRS 1, Bassnectar, Busta Rhymes, Mala Rodriguez and Beenie Man. He's widely known as the pioneer of 'Glitch-Step' - a combo of Bay Area Hyphy, Dirty South Crunk, UK Bass and Glitch. Check out this vid from his last tour:

Here's a couple tracks to get to know Propa Tingz:

Lil Wayne - A Milli [Propa Tingz ill tingz remix]

Now that there are 999 remixes of this song, I believe this makes 1,000 - and it's definitely one of the heaviest.

FreQ Nasty vs Propa Tingz - Peacemaker [dub]

This track was originally showcased on FreQ Nasty's FABRICLIVE.42 mix.


Here's the main attraction - another gem from Rob Booth's (aka Surgeon) awesome Electronic Explorations radio show - an exclusive Propa Tingz mix.
