Repping us as always is the hugely talented Frankie Francis who brought London the heat when his Sofrito Tropical Warehouse parties arrived and continues to push the genre with production/DJ partner Hugo Mendez (Soundway Recordings).

Lastly we are delighted to introduce to you DJ Koichi Sakai. On the Tropical scene in London Koichi is helping lead the charge and regular throwdowns in Passing Clouds and Cafe 1001 to his loving fans are proof!
