Last things first :) - Presenting the closing set from Trropical 27- Year Anniversary Hot Tub Oasis Retreat, recorded 10 PM to Midnight on Sunday night, closing all the music at our event <3

It was a very intense event with a huge downpour in the middle followed by a double rainbow, ao many beautiful moments and one tragic one.

But here we celebrate life and house music with old school Tropical resident DJ Dazy's digital comeback - first time ever to play a digital sat at Tropical, having pretty much exiting DJing with motherhood 20 years ago in 2005.

Dazy played the second -ever Tropical event, (rescheduled from December 1998 to May 1999) was the first female DJ to play at Tropical, instantly becoming resident DJ, playing almost all the Tropical warehouse parties and some boat parties too.

Tropical founder Ben Annand had been nagging Dazy for years to make the digital transition  - and it finally happened in 2025!

Chunky house beats, deep disco vibes and fun vocals characterize this set. - Hope you love it as much as we do!


Tropical 27YR-1 - DJ Dazy Closing Set Sunday 10pm-12am

DJ Dan B2B DJ Mes at The Patron St. 9.19.25


Release #2 from Tropical 27-Year is on Oct. 9, 2025, the actual anniversary date of the event!

Recorded live 7pm-9pm Sunday September 28, 2025 on a beautiful night under a bouquet of stars in the high desert of Southern California...

...is Tropical resident / founder Ben Annand's 2-hour Sunday night set which bridges the musical space between Evan Hatfield's live ethnic techno, and DJ Dazy's deep house closing set...

This set has two different feels in its 2 halves, starting with a dreamy and lightly progressive minimal house vibe, and switching into deep house about halfway through.  

It was followed by an hour of Dazy and Ben switching off every 3 tracks, and then Dazy's 2 hour closing set, posted previously.

Enjoy!

Note:  Tropical 28-Year Hot Tub Oasis Retreat will take place Sept 18-21, 2026 and will be a completely private event.  If you are interested in attending, please complete the form:

Ben Annand Live Tropical 27-Year Sunday Set

Truly an epic Burning Man Decompression 2025 with the Heavy Petting Zoo crew. Full set list to come. 

Black Panda LIve @ Burning Man Decompression 2025 at The Loom Oakland | Heavy Petting Zoo Takeover

Today we are super excited to release DJ Dan's (inStereo Recordings, Apt Ent, Los Angeles) epic 2+ hour fast and funky house set from the dramatic Tropical 27-Year Anniversary Hot Tub Oasis Retreat September 28, 2025!

We've had Dan play before, both at Tropical Oasis Retreat back in 2016, and at Tropical Boat party in 2018.  So this return is an appearance long overdue.

This is the best mixed set I (Ben Annand) heard in 2025, as well as my favorite DJ Dan set.
This year I got to know Dan quite a bit better as we were  festival roommates in Wisconsin (July), Alaska (Sept) and finally in California at this Tropical Event.  He's a super funny and humble guy, a legend for a reason. 

As the more humble headliners often do, Dan asked about how to play at this particular event.  I delivered what I know to be the best  news you can give to the dj - Our crowd is super open, play however you want, feel free to take risks and be adventurous in a long set.

That's exactly what you get here - Funky AF, a bit faster than normal due to where Dan was handed off, lots of 80s and 90s influences and fun flashbacks, artfully and perfectly mixed.

If there is ever a museum created for DJ mixes, this one should go in it.

Enjoy the funk out of it!

Vibe Stream Recording - Anyo & Luke Vecchio

The Inaugural Flow Sessions mix comes from a favourite from Melbourne's vibrant house scene - Luke Vecchio. Flow Sessions strives to support musicians, producers and DJ's in good times and bad. With this is mind we have commissioned DJs around the world to contribute mixes to our new series 'Flow sessions' The Flow team are working on a new waterfront Venue in the heart of Melbourne opening summer 2020. We thought it would be appropriate to show some support for our future performers now when it's needed most.

A message from the artist

'It is hard to find appropriate words to describe the love and passion that The Flow infuse into their ideas. considering we are currently living in a time where there is a lot of uncertainty, one thing we as humans have an abundance of is LOVE, The Flow is one of the purest representations and expressions of that, Love for music, Love for connection, Love for opportunity, Love for Life. 
to be asked to put together a mix for them is an absolute honour, i decided to curate a set that also shares that same pure intention, I decided to split the 3h33m mix into 3 x 1h11m mixes, each section has a clear and distinct journey, a love filled opening, a driving and electric middle, and finally i was able to finish off with completely original music, this is the first time i have shared all of my own creations in a mix, leaving each valued listener with a taste of where we come from, where we are going, and finish off with some original flavours from yours truly 🙂 
Thank you for listening.'
