HIPHOPPAPOTAMUS has created his own unique party vibe by infusing Latin, Caribbean and Afro styles into his tastefully produced selections of jungle, house, drum and bass and hip hop. His productions have been aired by David Rodigan on BBC Radio 1Xtra and gained widespread support from much of Bristol's music in which he is a hard working component.
