SwissBeatBox melty face man in crowd

[DaveCinzano]

As a casual viewer of beatbox competition videos, I am compelled to ask, just who is the Zelig-like chap in the crowd at what seems to be every SwissBeatBox Grand Beatbox Challenge ever?

Him. WHO HE?!

I watched a Swiss beatbox competition video and I don't understand what it is. I thought beatboxing was vocal percussion but they all seem to operating some sort of sampler. Wtf?

There are different competitions - solo, tag team etc, but also loopstation, where a beatboxer records samples and then orchestrates them live.

And why is beatboxing so popular in Switzerland? Does it echo well round the valleys or something?

With these things it is I guess not unusual to see the same faces at each thing. Plenty of faces including battle rappers in many rap battle crowds from a few years back.

The camera always goes for him as well tho, he’s not just a random guy who always turns up
