Jackie Westfall (MUSIC SUPERVISOR, SuperMusicVision, Noise/Racket & Red Bull), a LA based music supervisor who has worked on hit tv shows (Minx, Sex Lives of College Girls, I Love that for You, 9-1-1 Lone Star, Panic, Halston); mainstream and indie films (Boys in the Band, While We’re Young, Mistress America, Clementine); ads (Apple, Carnival Cruises, Toyota, Grammy Awards) and more. Handling creative to music clearances in record time.
In her spare time, she volunteers for the Guild of Music Supervisors and is always working on a mixtape.
As fearless as she is fiery, Teddi Gold has got enough glitz and glamour to fit right in at a jazz-y underground haunt or on-screen in some Golden Age Hollywood production. Yet, she’s also got the spirit to make a statement worthy of a TED Talk.
She’ll craft a dance floor banger only to shake up the melody with her own foley sound effects. In one breath, she’ll sing about piña coladas and tiny umbrellas. In the next, she’ll ponder the breakdown of a loved one.
Attracting acclaim from The Line of Best Fit, Earmilk, UPROXX, Popdust, The 405, LA Weekly, and more, she continues to shapeshift at light speed. In 2019, the single “Video Games” paved the way for her Vol. 1 EP. In addition to widespread praise, she landed on Spotify’s coveted Fresh Finds and Pandora’s Top Hits Playlist. Pandora’s Next Big Sound also proclaimed her a “promising artist.” Maintaining this momentum, she joined forces with producer Jon Buscema, Drew Alexander and Jack Ventimigilia and further shaped and sharpened her unpredictable and undeniable pop on Vol. 2. Now, the singer and songwriter envisions a wild world as empowered as it is entrancing. She opens this world up with the singles “Confetti” and “Bossa Nova Baby” ft. Mi$HNRZ and more to come.

Summer. A holiday season with its own special competitive spirit. For artists, every release is in contest to be someone’s song of the summer. The get ready, go out, stay lit track that stays on repeat throughout years hottest months, claiming stake in the precious memories of someone’s 2022. Teddi Gold’s early summer submission is a Covergirl sized wink to a game where the participants can touch anything but the floor. And with this beat, you might understand why.
Hitting the dancefloor with “The Floor is Lava” (ft. Coolio) spinning might make you blaze up in a way you didn’t quite mean to, if you’re prone to attempt the moonwalk or busting any sort of daring moves. The bouncy beat slides from one unstable surface to the next, finding balance in spiraling techno theatrics and sultry demands that keep your attention throughout the song. The funky zooms layered with Teddi’s heavy, teasing breath, builds to her squeaking “the floor is lava” before delivering what I would consider to be the hottest feature of the year.
If you don’t ever find yourself wondering what Coolio is up to, then you need to start. Earlier this season, I could not escape “Return of the Mack” and if Mack Morrison can have his revival, Coolio surely is overdue for his day in the sun. His feature shines in “The Floor is Lava”, bringing that signature slick-backed coolness to an icy hot track. His “let’s get campy baby” bar perfectly capitulates the essence of the song. “The Floor is Lava” is a carefree ode to the hot nights, blazing bangers, and refreshing visits with familiar friends that turn the heat up on everyone’s favorite season.

Rock is far from dead and we're here to prove it with this thunderous Hunnypot Live! Don Robertson co-hosted the night with us and brought some hard, grungy, rock n roll bands to be interviewed and perform.
7/25/22, Podcast Audio (AVAILABLE NOW)
Don Robertson began his career in Seattle as a show promoter turned artist manager. Over the years he has managed several artists on major and independent labels and spent time as President of Century Media/Another Century Records and SVP A&R at RED Music with a focus on Alternative, Rock and Metal.
Wavy Trees is: Zack “Moondog” Smith (Lead Vocals/Guitar/ Piano), Jason Espirito (Guitar), Brian Duke: (Bass/Guitar) and Jack Gallner (Drums)
If Wayne’s World and Bill & Ted’s Excellent adventure collided in an alternate reality House party, Los Angeles based Wavy Trees would be the band playing in the back yard. The cosmic bartender at this gathering would be mixing swaggering hard rock riffs with the attitude and energy of garage-punk, dumping it into a shaker and pouring out a potent cocktail of we-could-give-a-fuck fun. With the release of debut track “I Wanna Go Out” they are declaring themselves to the world with the perfect anthem for the pent-up frustration that so many are feeling after being in pandemic lockdown for more than a year.
According to the band’s Zack “Moondog” Smith (Lead Vocals/Guitar/ Piano): “We all met by complete fate! I met Brian (Duke – Bass) at a house party in North Hollywood & immediately asked myself “Why am I not in a band with this guy?” But it turned out Brian was already in a band with Jason (Espirito – Guitar) so the timing was off. Fast forward a year or so later I met Jack (Gallner – Drums) at El Tejano restaurant in NOHO & we hit it off talking about all the music we were jamming to at the time & ended up writing songs in his bedroom within the first couple weeks of meeting. From the moment I met Jack I knew we were meant to be in a band together as well, it was fate!”
He continues” as we started our initial recording sessions in June of 2019 at NRG Studios, we had a bass player flake on us & I immediately thought of Brian. He was in a life insurance meeting at a Starbucks but bailed to come join us for the session & killed it! After that 1st session he told me that Jason would be perfect for the project on guitar… I was secretly hoping that would come up because Brian & Jay are a dynamic duo that were born to play together. A week later we went to a rehearsal space on my birthday & that was the day the Wavy Trees was officially “born” as a band.
The band is produced by the legendary Jay Baumgardner (Seether, Bush, Papa Roach, Lacuna Coil, Otherwise)
Wavy Trees are recording new material now with Baumgardner, with more singles and an EP to be released later this year.

Sun Puddle is a rock trio from Seattle, Washington that have a penchant for writing angry, compelling songs about society’s outsiders and a flair for catchy pop akin to the Beatles.
Leaning heavily on early Nirvana, Melvins, and Sonic Youth, the band plays urgent, intense music sparked by introspective, sometime caustic, lyrics. Sun Puddle’s uniqueness lies in their hook-laden songs that transcend the aggressiveness of their apathetic yet powerful presence.
Sun Puddle are Trever Rose (singer/guitarist), Leo Quale (bass player), Evan Hartung (drummer)
Return To Dust is barebones rock that is youthfully charged. The band tackles the struggles of growing up; feeling out of place, ostracized, struggling with societal pressures and anxieties. The band members' individual traumatic history has become the main themes of their lyrical content.
Amidst all the sadness, and the bad which always shines brightest, the silver lining is growth. Friendship, knowledge, and your individual experiences have all led you to this place in life, and no one can define this, or tell you that it is right or wrong.
Lyrically, the band only knows as much as you do, merely putting our shared experiences into impactful, attitude riddled diddies. We hope to inspire people who are just like us, struggling in their journey through life. Your path is clear and totally defined by you each and every day.

After returning to the United States in 2019, she hit the ground running as direct support for Shawn James on the national The Dark & The Light Tour. Soon after, Vonne followed up with the release of two inventive singles, “LOVE MOVE” and “RnR”, each released ahead of the Love Move EP in June 2020.

She shares, "I grew up in a large, tight-knit, musical family who played lots of instruments and played lots of records all day. I loved to write and very early on hip-hop allowed me to tap into both of those loves. I'm pretty sure that I wrote my first rhyme at around 7 yrs old about Santa Clause delivering toilet paper to me when I found myself stuck on the bowl without any. I still love bathroom acoustics lol." She and her family relocated to Miami during the birth of Miami Bass where she became acquainted with Miami’s biggest DJs and rappers.

SPNCR’s career as a songwriter/producer, vocalist, saxophonist, and beat-boxer lead to performances at festivals like Coachella, T In The Park, and Wireless Festival and put him in rooms with legendary artists like K-pop group Girls’ Generation, The Black Eyed Peas, Chance The Rapper, and Mike D of The Beastie Boys.
