The Tropic Lab boys return to Kilo Lounge to celebrate the third anniversary of their label’s inception. Conceptualised by inseparable friends sometime in 2013, Tropic Lab made its debut in a pop-up event to penetrate Singapore’s burgeoning music scene. Their second gig saw them playing alongside Haan Aziz, where they discovered that his sound complements the Tropic Lab identity they were working towards. The duo soon turned into a trio with Haan on board, and they’ve since carved their own spot in the local nightlife industry.

Tropic Lab’s 3rd Anniversary is happening on 25 March 2017 at Kilo Lounge from 10pm. For more details, check out their event page here
