We reach 9000 Members on Facebook!


Welcome new members as we reach a milestone. We are also ready to celebrate 9 years on Facebook on January 11.

Always remind members that were an earlier group called "The Exotica Mailing List" started up on May the 5th 1994. An easy day to remember as it is the day after "Star Wars Day".

Once upon a time there was the marvelous Exotica Mailinglist.

Early DJ's and members, some now inactive or deceased, help shaped the varied aesthetic, focusing on Exotica, when the Lounge and Swing revivals came around in the 1990's.  Along with CD compilations, Magazines and Zines and later blogs. There are several full time internet stations, along with  comps on Mixcloud and Spotify.

And its nice to see the enthusiasm and joy of new members posting new finds that are old favorites for some of us. That were vintage when we discovered them 20 years ago.

We are only on Facebook but if any new members have any ideas for expansion, going on Instagram? or you have the time or talent to create a page or update one, or join our blog let the moderators know. We have some new moderators who will continue to carry on the Tiki torches of our group. Even our sub-group the ExoticaRing is getting a spin.

Here's the old site with inactive links and and Frequently Asked Questions.

Maybe its time to do a new Two Zombies Later with new members?

Or create a group remix compilation?

Talk among yourselves. Have an idea for a passion project. Retired and looking for something to do?
