Here you go, native african and some south american stompers from the Estropical crate. Out of this sudden 20/C-sunny-tropical winter breakdown here in Poland!
It has been a pleasure and fun, to spin records (and tapes) since about 30 years now, and it is 13 years or so since we founded Estropical collective. I decided to celebrate that with a mix. I hope the music keeps moving and inspiring you as it does for us. Shout out to the record diggers and curators especially from our favourite tropical labels :)
Big Up Keep Up Rock!

Kid Buttons is a DJ, musical researcher and traveller. Based in Lublin, Poland. Mixes tropical music on a local scene, radio, and abroad since 90's. Organic - soul, jazz, funk, folk, with electronica - dub, broken beat and disco.

mission:
All the warmness, coziness of the sound and place are necessary to relax. People desire to relax, reset, let go emotions. Experience and feel the catharsis of the art, of carefully, consciously, selected set of sounds, tunes, vibrations and music in order to feel ...good. A job in such a space is about spiritual connectivity. You are in the place and time to deliver this kind of sound goodness. This is DJ's joy and service to the community.
