With first birthday celebrations fast approaching, Leeds' monthly club night 'Tropical' has been responsible for bringing some of the most upfront, forward-thinking deejaying talent to the city over the past 12 months. Consistently innovative in terms of bookings and with an intimate, bass-friendly home, Tropical's rise to prominence has culminated in arguably it's biggest lineup to date:

TROPICAL PIONEERS:

Jera - Deejaying across the dub/house/garage spectrum, Jera's 'Another One' has recently been signed to 'Pollen' after being remixed by Mistamen and receiving support from the likes of Blawan and Tom Lea.

I actually remember blogging this about 'Tropical' back in 2010:
"Their original take on the scene combined with big line-up after big line-up has seen Tropical establish itself as one of the most on-point nights in the city. It never fails to attract a good crowd but most importantly, also manages to deliver musically whether you're smashed or stone cold sober!"

..and things haven't changed! It remains very much a night for the music lover and is one I hold in high regard for opening my eyes to the likes of Doc Daneeka, Shortstuff and Mosca. Previous guests also include Oneman, Greena, Girl Unite, Blawan, Martin Kemp, Ben UFO, Ramadanman, Marcus Nasty, Heny G, Scratcha DVA, Midland and Jamie Grind.
