After 30 years I didn't think Moontribe could reach a new peak, but we absolutely did with our 30 year anniversary Full Moon Gathering! The location was unreal, the weather perfect and the people brought so much love and dance floor energy, I was simply blown away completely! 

Here is my night time Techno set played from 9pm to 11pm on night 2 inside the most beautiful stage structure by Symbiotic Creations in front of a dance floor filled with super charged energy under the big bright full moon!!!

Live@Moontribe30Year Night Set

"30 F*CKIN' YEARS!", someone shouted as this momentous occasion came to a close. 30 years of Moontribe Full Moon Gatherings -- just WOW. Such a wonderful gift to be a part of this unique community of artists, musicians, creators, dancers, lovers, family and friends, young and old. Words cannot describe what it has meant to me, and means to me to be able to participate in the "intense, but dancefloor friendly" magic that has been such a huge part of, and impact upon, my life. I am deeply grateful for each and every one of you and wish for everlasting peace and joy in yours. Thank you, Moontribe Collective. I love you.

Here is my sunrise set from day 2, a 3+ hour journey of groovy psy tunes to get your juices flowing and your brain tingling. I hope you enjoy it. Due to an issue with the original recording, I decided that I wanted to share this with you anyway, so I re-recorded it, and threw in a couple bonus tracks that I had wanted to play but wasn't able to the first time around. Please feel free to like, comment, share, and turn it UP!

brandroid @ Moontribe FMG OCT 2023

Ten years ago my life was changed when I attended my first FMG. Since then, Moontribe has been by large my greatest inspiration musically and it was a dream come true to get to contribute back to my favorite dance floor. The experience was everything I had hoped for and so much more.

Live @ Moontribe Oct 2023 FMG

October is often one of the best times to be in the desert and this one was no exception. Perfect weather, amazing location and a sizable group of moon lovers created such a wonderfully sweet vibe! Thank you, Moontribe, for all the magic for all the years. 
This is the closing set from the October 2023 Full Moon Gathering. Please enjoy and share with friends..

For Jon Bush.. Travel in bliss, my friend ❤️

❤️ Live In Love ❤️

Live At Wolf Moon January 13, 2024

Something a little different for ya.  Me at my moodiest.  In more recent years I apply tags to my tracks of different vibes so that I can organize my massive music collection better.  One of the biggest categories is 'Moody.'  

Of course a lot of people going out on Friday and Saturday night to my gigs are out to celebrate, so this category doesn't get as much play live as more funky upbeat rhythms.  As such it's somewhat underrepresented on my Soundcloud.

Well not anymore :). I'm dedicated to releasing more sets this year and I see this one as the start of a series.  Welcome to Ben Annand Moody AF :). 

The opener of this series is an opening set I played on a Sunday night from 9-11pm. It's actually just the first hour, 9-10.  It's ok to be moody when people are settling in :). It was also November just after the time change and loss of light... the beginning of the moody season in Eugene :)

An opening set is always interesting musically (or should be) because you get to start from scratch, and set the tone for the whole night.  So it's always a set that should be played with intention.

In this particular case, I was in a sensitive space because I had taken some really nasty criticism from the organizer of an event recently before.  I won't go into detail but it was very tactlessly and cruelly delivered.  So of course that affected my headspace both in terms of insecurity, and in terms of wanting to deliver a great set since I didn't entirely disagree with the criticism so much as I was hurt by the tone from a supposed friend.

So why am I telling you this?  Because this set is moody as fuck!  It opens with a lush vocal track that really spoke to me when my marriage suddenly went up into smoke. I find this track really intense so I haven't played it much but at home.   

The mix stays deep and moody, gradually building energy then wavering then building.  It's super trippy, a little dark/melancholy for me, but still house and totally danceable of course :)

So with all that said, I hope you enjoy this one and I will keep em coming!

This sunrise set from Tropical fave Synchronometry carried the dance floor through the first sunrise of 2024!

Set in a spectacular LA hilltop estate with sweeping views of the city, midnight fireworks, and sunrise, we danced our way into 2024 in style!

And now for something completely different!  

132 BPM Progressive-leaning techno mix :)

I wasn't expecting to be left at quite this fast a tempo but I'm glad I was :)  Only my Moontribe mixes tend to get over 130 like this, so it was a rare chance to spread my wings.

Deseract puts on a really cool party and the space, sound, lighting, and deco were all on point here.  It felt super underground and all my friends had a great time here.  

Hope you like the mix!  I'd love to play more sets like this :)

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 ;)

http://soundcloud.com/ben-annand 

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.
