Why does the word eclectic get bandied around so much? Does everything that’s even slightly diverse have to be considered eclectic? In light of this we can’t use that word to describe Tropical Hot Dog Night. But then THDN is more than just one word, it’s actually quite a few words strung together which makes a welcome change from your average music blog. One of the more welcomed changes is the seriously wide range of music dutifully recorded from vinyl so dusty you can almost smell it. God knows whose parents’ record collections these guys have been tapping into.
With posts ranging from 50s swing to acid house with any manner of post-punk, italo, krautrock, Detroit techno and left-field disco in between THDN is as ahead of the game as it is behind it.
