At long last we release the final set of 2019's legendary Tropical Oasis Retreat Maui by legendary DJ and producer Jimpster of Freerange Records, London.

Tropical fell in with Jimpster after his 6 hour set at Tropical Hearts Spring Festival in collaboration with a very young Desert Hearts back in 2013, which created some of our most memorable dance floor moments  (You can find that set deep in our Soundcloud track history in 2 parts).

Jimpster aka Jamie Odell was back to headline Tropical Oasis Retreat in California in 2015, and finally for our best production ever, Tropical Oasis Retreat Maui in March 2019.

Fortunately Tropical took 2020 off from producing events following NYE in Los Angeles, and we all know what came in March.  

Here's to hope for 2021!

This set released Saturday, November 7th, 2020 a day for celebration!

Tropical started in a warehouse on October 9, 1998, and moved around to different warehouses until making one home in 2003, known as the Tree House.  In 2004 and 2005 Tropical was almost monthly between the Tree House, and newly started boat parties out of Long Beach.  In June and September 2007 were the first 2 Tropical campouts, in Bonsall, CA at the venue now known as the Fire Garden.  In 2008 and 2009 Tropical went to Zuma State Beach in Malibu for summertime Tropical Beach Parties.  

Though occasionally still in a warehouse, since 2011 Tropical has been primarily outdoors, with the main events being the summer boat party and fall/winter Tropical Oasis Retreat, most recently seen on Kauai (Hawaii).  Tropical is 100% nonprofit, donating all proceeds after cost to charity.
