[Dynagroove] some info on the djs at Tropical this saturday

[Ben Annand]

Hello again,

Just wanted to give some background on the djs playing at Tropical this 
Saturday, we're really excited about the lineup and here's why you should be 
too:

ROOM ONE - HOUSE

Dj Del Costa is the top dj in Portugal, extremely famous all over Portugal 
and Spain and with the skills to back it up.  He has recently released a 
couple of noteworthy records, one for the very prestigious Brique Rouge 
label, run by David Duriez in France.  Del Costa was probably the most loved 
of all the guest djs we brought in 2003, he played at the May Tropical (pics 
at www.tropical-house.com/51703/start.htm).  His music is extremely dance 
floor friendly and his mixing is flawless.  Del Costa was featured on 
Tropical House Volume 15.

Set time: 12:30-2:00

Dj Grobas makes his first appearance at Tropical this month, but his 
partner, Ino, was here for the April 2003 Tropical.  He and Ino run the top 
club in Northern Spain, the House Cafe, and also a record label, House Cafe 
Music.  Grobas will start a sub-label in 2004.  As a dj, he has a very 
unique sound, beyond that I will leave it a surprise.

Set time: 2:00-3:30

Mark E Quark has been one of the top djs on the West Coast since we've had a 
scene here.  He became a Tropical resident dj in 2003, after many guest 
appearances for us.  There isn't any dj that sounds like Mark E Quark, and 
that's what we love about him.  That and his impeccable mixing skill of 
course.  Mark has been featured on Tropical House Volumes 7, 10, and 16.

Set time: 3:30-5:30+

Ben Annand founded Tropical in 1998, after collaborating for 2 years with a 
group called Planet 9.  Known as Mr. Annand owing to his days as a 
high-school substitute teacher, he has played at all 25 Tropicals to date. 
However, only in the last year did he become completely comfortable working 
the decks at his own party - this comfort level is reflected in the live at 
Tropical mixes featured in Volume 11, 14, 17, and 18 of the Tropical House 
series.  Tropical House Volume 1, 3, 4, and 6 also included studio mixes 
from Mr. Annand before he began to favor the live format.

Set time: 10:00-12:30

ROOM TWO  - CHILL

Headliners from New York - can't say much but rest assured they are at the 
top of their field.  They are here for another event and will be doing a 
special afterhours session for us.

Set time: 2:30-5:00

Theory is part of the Open Minds Collective and one of L.A.'s up and coming 
star djs.  He is booked increasingly in L.A. and out-of-town as he brings a 
unique flavor to an event.  Equally adept at house and downtempo/hip-hop, 
this time we will be hearing an extended set of the latter from him.  Theory 
has appeared at Tropical once before, in January 2003.

Set time: 12:00-2:30

J. Nautilus is part of Heartbeat Sound and an all-around great guy.  He will 
make his first appearance at Tropical this month, opening the room with an 
ambient set.  Johnny promises to bring us something special to set the tone 
for the night

Set time: 11:00-12:00

We really hope you'll join us this Saturday for what promises to be an 
exceptional night of music and fun.  We hear a lot about people wanting to 
hear new talent - if you're someone who craves that you should be at this 
party.  At the same time there is enough familiar here to please the 
skeptics.  We're also very excited to be featuring international talent once 
more - when this happens Tropical becomes not only a party but a true 
cultural exchange.  Our djs are not put up in fancy hotels but stay with us 
and are actively hosted and shown around California and Oregon.  They leave 
feeling more like they've found a new family than just come over the pond 
for a few gigs.  It's a special experience and a very special time for all 
of us...  We hope you'll join us in this celebration of cultural diversity, 
rather timely that we will kick off the year on Martin Luther King Jr, 
weekend as well...

No work or school on Monday so be sure and spent the middle of your weekend 
at...
