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!

Impromptu w/ Dean Mir - 24.09.25 (Fabric Warm Up)

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.

Malambo set 2025 (Zen Delay : Roland 404) 100% Vinyl.

LDP 2025 // "The Golden Path" // Saturday, Oct 4, 2025

Recorded live at 3:00 AM on Night 2 of the long-running LDP Boat Party. 27 years since the crew set sail on this voyage. 11 years since I stepped foot on shore. 

90 minutes of dreamy house, deep tribal, and minimal techno laced with traces of early 00’s influence. This is late night listening... imagine yourself with nothing around you but trees, stars, and the shimmering reflections of the almost-harvest moon on the stillness of the lake...

Jamel Lee - Live at LDP 2025

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.

Welcome to the official Soundcloud home for Tropical Since 98, Socal's beloved underground house music event which has donated over $30,000 to charity causes since 1998!  This Soundcloud is dedicated to live sets from the 80+ Tropical parties since it's inception.  

Tropical is the creation of Ben Annand, who continues to organize the event to this day.  The link for Ben's personal Soundcloud is here, be sure and visit that too ;)

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.
