as for the surf side of Tiki.
Its not all tiki accessible.
there is some surf stuff I just won't play when DJing.
I try to play the more laid back surf.
with Exotic overtones.

I try to shy away from the Garagy surf.
that relies heavily on R&B and and 1 4 5 progressions.

I also like to play Tahitian and other Island Music.

I also love traditional Slack Key Hawaiian music.
that is one genre that many people here don't discuss.
and the Huge Slack Key Fest. in Redondo Beach(sold Out)
was hardly attended by any tiki central people.
Sad in my book.
