Back in 2013, long before ETI RADIO became the flagship station of the Tiki Broadcasting Company (TBC), Tiki Brian released a passion project that would quietly grow into one of his most‑loved creations: The Exotica Remix Project. More than a decade later, this nearly 40‑minute continuous mix is still transporting listeners to far‑off shores -now surpassing 25,000 plays on YouTube and continuing to attract new fans of Hawaiian, Exotica, and vintage island music.

This remix isn’t just a playlist. It’s a handcrafted sonic journey. A curated escape. A tropical dreamscape mixed with the signature style only Tiki Brian can deliver.

A 40‑Minute Escape Into Vintage Paradise

The Exotica Remix Project blends some of the most iconic and influential tracks in the genre - a seamless flow of hypnotic rhythms, lush instrumentation, and atmospheric island moods. Tiki Brian selected each piece from his personal vinyl archive, then mixed them into a single immersive soundtrack designed to feel like stepping into a forgotten Polynesian paradise.

Why This Remix Still Resonates After 12+ Years

Even today, listeners continue discovering the mix and sharing it across social media, forums, and tiki communities. Its longevity comes from three things:

1. Authentic Vinyl Warmth

The mix is built from Tiki Brian’s personal LP collection - the same archive that fuels ETI RADIO’s weekend‑long broadcasts.

2. A Curator Who Lives and Breathes Exotica

Tiki Brian isn’t just a DJ. He’s an archivist, storyteller, and preservationist of Hawaiian and Exotica music. His deep knowledge of the genre shapes every creative decision.

3. A Timeless Mood

Exotica is escapism at its finest — and this mix captures the magic of the genre in a way that feels both classic and fresh.
