Mark E. Quark Sets Re-Bar Afire! FLAMMABLE

Live On Haight (1998) Full

Ah the early days of Tropical!   Long before Tropical headed to the great outdoors we got sweaty in warehouses til the wee hours of the morning.  This little downtown LA warehouse was popping til the end, as resident Mark E Quark guided the dancers on a three hour journey from 2am to 5am.  

This is the first part of his set, of course everything was on vinyl back then, and we were all a good deal younger :) Does is make me want to do an indoor Tropical again?  Yes, it does!

Hometown Heroes: Mark E Quark from San Diego [Musicis4Lovers.com]

Here is a super rare set recorded live in San Francisco in early 1997 at a By The People party. The vibe is very deep and then goes into dubbed out disco territory midway through, then back to house. Not much else to say here except that the music speaks for itself. This is the first time that this mix has ever seen the light of day. Special thanks to Anthony Silva for helping bring this mix to the Quarkive. In fact I wouldn't have known this mix even existed if it weren't for him. Hope you enjoy!

Mark E Quark in San Francisco on January 25th 1997

This set was recorded live at an underground weekly after-show called Etch A Sketch which started sometime in late 92 by Scott Leitzke & James Heth.  The weekly was held in a vacant basement of a building in the gaslamp area of downtown san diego. Despite the dodgy name and the fact it started in the wee hours of the morning, it was a very fun, but short lived night which offered music and a "free breakfast cereal bar" which was a pretty unique idea at the time. The djs on this particular night, if my memory serves me correctly, was DJ Xstatic aka Daeman, Joey Jimenez & myself. This was the era I was constantly being billed as the "sunrise" dj and you can hear why on this mix. Lots of deep / early morning house classics here plus a few other surprises. This mix has never seen the light of day until now. I hope you get a kick out of hearing this mix which is just a few months past 19 years in age. A big thanks goes to Nathalie Schroeder for lending me her copy of this cassette tape since I had lost mine years ago in a move.
