Following on from releases by the likes of Whitesquare, The Cyclist, DJ Octopus and Daniele Baldelli & Dario Piana, Tropical Animals head honcho Ricardo Baez steps up to provide a three track EP of refined, richly textured, deep and brooding cuts.
Undulating synths, introspective chords and a tapestry of rhythms flow from the Florence native, at times moving through the depths of lo-fi, crunching house at others delving into the realms of acid.

You’ll recall the ‘Rave In The Cave ‘ compilation by Tropical Animals released just over eight weeks ago. It got love from BLACK MADONNA, MOXIE, PARANOID LONDON, MATTHEW KRYSKO, MAN POWER, AXEL BOMAN,
ERIC DUNCAN, SOULPHICTION, SEAN JOHNSTON, JOE GODDARD, IAN BELVINS & JUSTIN ROBERTSON.
At the forefront of Florence’s electronic music scene since 2010, Tropical Animals standout taste in club bookings has included Axel Boman, Denis Sultra, Jayda G, Daniele Baldelli, Luca Lazano, Interstellar Funk, Ross From Friends, Avalon Emerson, Chez Damier, Bradley Zero and that’s just a few. Their party has a distinct and clear identity with a wild attitude, so it was obvious it was going to turn into a label and that the soul of that label would have an wild and eclectic, multi coloured DNA. The label was launched in 2018, calling on past guests and local talent, they've quickly cemented their position as a bastion of intriguing, textured dance music.
The ‘Dream EP’ is by Ricardo Baez and on their recent compilation the party helmsman of the Florentine Club21 event presented a relentless, rising web of refrains and synth melodies in ‘Loco por la techno’ featuring Lonely Dancer. Ricardo Baez has previously released on Toy Tonics, Rebirth, Gomma, Night People NYC and Music For Freaks.
‘Dream EP’ is comprised of three tracks that are sure to grip the dancefloor. There’s dark textures and synth weaves on the opener ‘Fantasy Island’ with a naughty little vocal intro. There’s also a techno bowler for when it’s time to blow up your audience and turn up the speed with "луна" (moon/luna). The closing track ‘Dream’ has a more mellow beat and a hypnotic voice that gets hold of the dancer with their eyes closed drags them to the middle of the dancefloor where Ricardo Baez is waiting for them.
