Toppa started being a host of the Irie Ites Radioshow on the Free Radio Kassel in the end of the 90ies. Once a week the show features the best in Reggae and Dub – it still has a growing audience by broadcasting locally and, next to that, worldwide through the internet. In 1999 Toppa and friends started the Irie Ites Sound in Kassel where he became the backbone as the #1 selekta. The sound gathered a huge fanbase over the past years playing at dances in Hamburg, Berlin, Bern, Zurich etc.. Next to this Irie Ites.de started as an online mag providing information on various issues dealing with the reggae-world. 2008 saw the launch of the Irie Ites Music label. Ever since then vinyl-releases with Dubmatix,  Hornsman Coyote, Tack>>Head, Aldubb, Earlyworm and others have seen the light of day.
With all the experience gathered in these various fields, Toppa started to produce reggae himself. One of his favourite sound is the digital dancehall started with the Sleng Teng-riddim. With the release of Victory Rock featuring artists like SK Simeon, Babamessage and Papa Sbadi he prooves that he is on his way to the premier league of producers in this field. Have a close listen to his electrifying style!
