“Los Demos” is out today on our new label NADA SOUND!!

100 hi-fi cassettes and endless digital albums!! Ready for your listening pleasure!! Find it from the link in our bio or tropisphere.bandcamp.com

Tapes start shipping on May 1st + digital is ready now.

"Los Demos" brings together an amplitude of electronic rhythms, mind bending noise and melodic storytelling, steeped in analog synthesizers, mechanical percussion and concrete textures. An 8 piece soundtrack to the film that is our Tropi-life in the age of hyper-technology and dystopian advances. "Crash landing somewhere in the hell-scape of a John Carpenter score and the early San Francisco school of experimental synth punk from the late 1970s & early 80s." - Sid Vicious

“Buy now, cry later!”

Outsider Sounds and Visions Fest is a two day music festival in West Oakland March 27 and 28, 2026 celebratingthe twenty year anniversary of @ratskinrecords happening atFirst Church Of The Buzzard in West Oakland featuring over thirty five bands / performances. Presale ticket link in our bio. There will be a livestream version in mid April, as opposed to during the event as we want to ensure the best quality and most accessible streaming version we can!

Artist Spotlight:Tropisphere
@tropisphere_

Tropisphere is a cinematic synth trio infused by the sound of dark wave soundtracks, avant-garde electronics and subtropical rhythms. Crash landing somewhere in the hell-scape of a John Carpenter film and the early San Francisco school of experimental synth punk from the late 1970s & early 80s. Formed in Oakland, circa, 2023 -- sharing three members of local psych-cumbia band, Ritmos Tropicosmos.

Vocalist and synth player Eli Reyes carves out a story, etched in blood and flowers with a voice as sweet as it is evil and pulverizing. Jake Rodriguez lays down a bed of synth tones that can warp your mind from the inside out and moody rhythms that will get your head banging; leaving the last nail in the coffin for Bobby Cosmos to drive home with his super-phased bass lines, mechanical drums and cerebral synth melodies. Together, they bring an arsenal of industrial rhythms, street-wise noise and melodic texture to the fold — somewhere in the vein of synth pioneers such as Kraftwerk or Tangerine Dream...at other times, echoing those many waves of aforementioned Frisko Freaks.

Don’t be foolish, or fall for that Fool’s Gold! Go see. @cabaretvoltaireband in San Francisco tonight. You won’t regret it because it’s their last trip on the road. Then come to Lloyd’s Records tomorrow night for our listening party. It shall be enticing and you’ll hear even more Cabaret Voltaire on the hi-fi system.

HUGE thanks to all the folks that have been buying our tapes, digital tracks and listening to our new E.P. We're so thankful to have this outlet to share our music with you and get it out of the tin can.

As promised, orders are getting prepared this weekend and will be shipped out by Friday, May 1st. There will be surprise promo “goodies” or “bonuses” with all the orders sent out then…!!!

Cassettes will be available locally at a handful of shops and we have some exciting news about a listening party coming up; along with a few live shows in San Francisco. Stay tuned for the details, we hope to see some friendly & familiar faces there.

If you haven't, please check out our latest release “LOS DEMOS” from the link in our bio or simply type in the URL tropisphere.bandcamp.com to hear it! For maximum results: listen to this in full: the entire program fits together like a soundtrack to a film that has yet been made, but maybe exists in a dream state..maybe not...maybe it's a mirage or a memory. Whatever the case, stereophonic headphones, decent speakers and late night drives in the hills will enhance the experience…🌀

Eli y Bobby con @stevenbrown.official TUXEDOMOON, 9RAIN y CINEMA DOMINGO en el Stork Club. Oakland: 23 JAN 2026.

Here's a flashback of us covering Tuxedomoon's "Everything You Want" from last weekend's show @theestorkcluboakland -- much gratitude to everyone for coming out, all the bands / DJ for playing, Rio on sound and thee Stork for such a great night! Big thanks to all our friends for pulling up and to MAYA for this video document. #tuxedomoon #subterraneanmodern #ralphrecords #oakland #theestorkclub

Sorry friends: our tapes won’t be available tonight. I dub them on an old system and somewhere in the audio chain, there’s a bug that’s causing insufficient quality. We’ll have to figure this out and bring em to our next show. The good news is, our live set is smoking, so come out and hear it on the stork sound system. 💙 Amongst the crumbling of American society, we persevere and bring you achingly exquisite soundtracks to your dystopian dreams. This one is for all those folks fighting for a better future, living through the substandard conditions of modern times and continuing to face the demons in the eyes of uncertainty. As we pull together and WAKE UP from this atrocious narrative, we seek a better way forward and music is one of the keys we’ll use to unlock that door. Tropishere C-30 tapes will be available for the first time tonight, at @theestorkcluboakland 💙🌀💙🌀💙🌀💙
