About
Tropicana
Records
Music is where it starts.
Tropicana Records is an independent music label and cultural platform connecting Latin-rooted musical culture with contemporary underground dance music.
Tropicana
Music is where
it starts
More than a label
From records to dancefloors.
We release music.
We work with artists and selectors.
We bring communities together.
And we create places where the music can exist beyond the release itself.
A record can become a DJ set.
A collaboration.
A room.
A dancefloor.
Then something that happens on that dancefloor can become the next record.
The musical world
Rooted here. Open to elsewhere.
Brazilian and Latin musical culture runs through Tropicana.
Not as a boundary.
As a point of departure.
We are interested in what happens when those roots meet contemporary underground club culture — broken rhythms, UK garage, bass, electro and different forms of house music.
The connection matters more than the genre label.

One world. Different ways in.
