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!

MONDO DINGO w/ BEN MEN - 19.09.25

2am-5am Live from Gorg-O-Mish September 20, 2025

Tyler Stadius – Gorg-O-Mish, September 20, 2025

Twenty weeks in, and Damian Lazarus continues his sunrise transmissions live from Ibiza — two hours of eclectic, boundary-crossing music for the early risers, the late drifters, and everyone in between.

As his Hï Ibiza residency draws to a close, only two nights remain: tonight and next Saturday. A perfect time to mark the moment, whether you’re tuning in at dawn or dancing until daylight.

Sunrise Sunset 20 - Damian Lazarus

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 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.
