It’s amazing how the internet can take an ordinary Wednesday and flip it into the start of someone’s biggest break.

Take Chicago-based DJ and producer Proppa. He probably didn’t expect that his unofficial house remix of Waka Flocka Flame’s “Grove St. Party,” uploaded to SoundCloud on August 14, 2024, would explode into a festival favorite. Fast forward more than nine months, and not only has the remix taken over dance floors, but Warner Records also officially cleared the sample, turning the once-underground hit into a certified collaboration with a hip-hop heavyweight.

It’s a fitting rise for Proppa, a seasoned name in Chicago’s legendary house scene. He’s spent the last ten years building his reputation, earning spins from countless top-tier DJs. But nothing has hit quite like this fiery flip of “Grove St. Party.” The track has been championed by house giants like John Summit, Dom Dolla, and Mau P—cementing its place as a mainstage weapon.

This release is a testament to SoundCloud’s continued influence in shaping global dance culture. While getting samples cleared by major labels used to be nearly impossible, 2025 seems to be the year where remix culture and industry red tape are finally starting to coexist.

Meanwhile, Proppa’s momentum hasn’t slowed down. His electrifying remix of A$AP Ferg’s “Work,” done in collaboration with Rich DietZ and Smith & Sorren, is blowing up as one of 2025’s most unexpected house anthems. Heavy hitters like Swedish House Mafia, Tiësto, Alesso, and Kaskade are all backing the track—proof that Proppa’s moment is just getting started.
