Loopmasters are proud to present Tropical Dancehall by one of our most esteemed collaborators – DJ Vadim! This 100% royalty collection explores the modern synergy between traditional Jamaican sound system culture with new era Latin influences.

As with fine delicacies which improve with age, such as whisky, wine and cheese, DJ Vadim has been tenaciously and soulfully fermenting his global musical elixir for over 20 years and is now well and truly a unique vintage.

15 solo albums, 5 mix CD's, 7 group albums, countless mix CD's and remixes to date... you can be sure of one thing, when Vadim first heard the phrase "Don’t sleep", he obviously took it literally! It would be easy to sit back and rest on his laurels, but one look at Vadim's discography will show you that he is an innovator who revels in challenges, living on the frontline; creating beats of the future well before they have even been made into genres.

With performances at some of the world’s most prestigious events from Sonar, Glastonbury, Big Chill, V fest, Fuji Rock, Roskilde, Exit, Vinarock, Notting Hill Carnival....to describe the man as an internationalist almost seems to sell him short.

Tropical Dancehall shows off Vadim’s diversity as a producer, with a 1.21 GB collection that shows his deft ability to merge styles to make something distinctive. You’ll hear dubby basslines, reggaeton drums, Jamaican dancehall vocals, dope percussion and a huge array of instrument samples including brass, accordians, mallets, sax, mandolin, steel pan, synths and a whole load more!

Loops within play at tempos between 60-195bpm, meaning you’ll have sounds for the named genres alongside dub, reggae, reggaeton, jungle, drum & bass and any other genres you’re working with.
