Tropical City was inspired by the likes of Santogold and De Tropix and designed for the summer festivals. Think forward thinking international sounds and feel good summer vibes, with added fancy dress fun. Our latest themed party was programmed to be held on several summer festival stages; Glastonbury, Secret Garden Party, Castle Palooza and Bloom Festival.
Music genres touched upon ranged from reggaeton, hip-hop, tropical, grime, bashment on an electronic tip. Conrad the Scoundrel kicked the night off with his up front mc style and comedy introductions. Then AJ Holmes presented his electric-hi-life tunage, sweet summer melodies ravished by all. Cherry B from De Tropix took the mic for the headline act, bumping and grinding her crotch in time with her lyrics! Finally our super hero DJ, Gabriel Heatwave drew in the crowd for two hours of bashment bliss. We rocked the boat to the early hours swinging our hips, arms in the air. We were truly impressed by Gabriel’s sounds and the party spirit that was created on the Tamesis boat.
Thanks to all that made the party so special- bring on the summer festivals!
Sporting steamy sun visors and hand held fans.
Stand your ground in the battles of Krump,
Feverish moves to rhythms that jump.
Exotic sounds from faraway,
Fused with the modern beats of today.
For the best spot by the bass bin we fight,
Follow the neon pulse, to the tropical city night.
Put your ghetto blaster down, put your aviators on and lets get Fabulous.
The waters are heating up down the Albert Embankment.
The Tamesis dock is the venue for the summers first Tropical City party.
Presenting the freshest sounds from the tropical scene, expect heavy beats and bass with an afro/urban influence. Live music, Mcs and D.Js and explosive street style performance.

A.J Holmes: The New Electric Hi-Life - A blend of tropical pop, afro beats and beautifully melodic highlife guitar loops
