Thank you for locating a copy of this for me. I still have it. 💚

Where the Tropical House Mixtape Series began!  

This mix was originally released on cassette back in February 2000.  It was distributed free to the first 100 people in attendance at the first "Be MyTropical Valentine" party, a free party that Tropical put on as a thank you to its supporters every Valentine's Day for several years.  Additional copies were handed out at parties to promoters and dancers.

In 2000 Tropical house was a little more tracky and funky, the beginning of a long road to where it is today.

Hope you enjoy the mix!

Tropical House Volume 1 Mixed by Mr. Annand February 2000

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.
