Tha Purrin Lion | Turn It Up
In spring of 2004, Hippo & Estefex started “Turn It Up Thursdays” at the infamous venue “Clarks”. With help of others in the Houston Dance seen, like Brad Slack, Champa Moore and BMC to name a few, Hippo & Estefex had a successful weekly. This weekly in Houston was responsible for bringing many top acts from overseas. You could find Hippo & Estefex and friends playing next to the likes of Basic Operations, Commix, Klute, Makoto & Deeizm, Aphrodite, J Magik, DJ Lee, Marcus Intalex, Stress Level & TC1, Atlantic Connection, Nookie, LTJ Bukem & MC Conrad and Danny Byrd to name a few.
In January 2008 Estefex moved away from Houston to Phoenix. Since his initial departure from Houston Estefex quickly became involved in the Phoenix Drum and Bass scene. Here is where he meet Dlo and Craft through various nights which led to many collaborative efforts in bringing out and having guests like TC1, Random Movement, A-Sides and Original Sin. He became a resident at one of Arizona’s premier Dub Step & Drum and Bass night know as UK Thursdays. Where he played his sound of deep, soulful, jazzy and liquid Drum and Bass along with friends at this groundbreaking night, week in and week out. Being supportive and being involved in Drum and Bass music and community is something that you will always find Estefex doing.
Since moving back to Houston he has become a big part of the FRENZI nights relying on his connections throughout the international D&B community helping source some of the great talent through the last couple years, as well as upping production value with his Martin Audio sound system.
Help us salute his integral role to the Houston D&B movement as we celebrate his birthday.
