About Deep Tropics

Deep Tropics is produced by forward-thinking, dance music enthusiasts at Full Circle Presents. The creative site and stage design is led by art director, Aaron Martin and will take the energy to stratospheric levels. The one-of-a-kind amphitheater in the park ensures every viewpoint is perfect with a beautiful downtown skyline view in the backdrop. Intricate lasers, choreographed LED, moving lights, and art installs will illuminate the park. The venue is less than a mile from auxiliary party locations, downtown Nashville, and some of the city’s coolest districts.

Deep Tropics’ mission is to be the greenest festival in the United States. They are a climate positive event which simply means we create more energy than we use. These efforts are fueled by our non-profit organization Deep Culture, Inc which exists to curate experiences that activate transformation of self, community, and planet. In 2021, 79% of festival waste was prevented from entering the landfill. The proceeds from Green Disco Eco-Bands allowed us to plant 59,000+ trees in Kenya and help offset our carbon footprint. Many of Deep Tropics’ art projects are created from sustainable materials such as hempcrete & aircrete. Additionally, Deep Tropics has a zero waste initiative to ensure everything is either recyclable, compostable, or re-usable. Regenerative design is at the forefront of every aspect of the festival.

About RAEF

Hi! My name is Raef and I’m a DJ born and raised in Nashville TN, currently based in Montreal, Canada. I am studying Sustainability at McGill University, but spend every second planning shows and getting immersed in the scene in Montreal. I have just begun producing my own music but look forward to creating more this summer. I have been DJing for about 3-4 years, originally getting into house and techno from my brother. Since then, I have been exposed to so many more genres, and normally mix jazzy house, 90’s tracks, and groovy techno. Currently, I volunteer at a local radio station in Montreal, CKUT, and have slots every few weeks to showcase my mixes. About 6 months ago, I played at the SAT (Société des arts technologiques) in the Bourse Euterke finalist performance and was a very special night on the biggest sound system I have played on. Starting to get deeper into the Montreal and Nashville scenes and throwing my own parties, playing at Deep Tropics would be a huge step towards success!
