Hot Tub Johnnie had a special DJ set planned as he featured select tracks from many of the past radio guests over the last 6 years. Including songs from artists' Terraplane Sun, Far East Movement, Macklemore, Delinquent Habits and Portugal. The Man.
Our first guest DJ was Thomas Golubic', music supervisor for the hit TV series' Breaking Bad, The Walking Dead and The Killing. Thomas is a frequent Hunnypot radio guest and had a killer high energy set saved for us with bangers from The Beatnuts, Pretty Lights, Smif-N-Wessun, Jon MCXRO and in honor of the late Heavy D "You Can See What I See".
The Reverend Bud E. Love from the Cannabist Church Of Christ was our next guest to hit the hot tub and probably one of the most anticipated guests. The Reverend gave a highly regarded sermon in front of a huge crowd on the importance of legalizing marijuana. It may have been the Reverend's first Hunnypot appearance and will definitely not be the last; as it was a perfect match for Hunnypot who has been a long time advocate for Prop 19. So get out and vote and help support The Cannabist Church Of Christ.
DJ Boom Shack closed out the party with a few special requests for Jason Hemmens' "Kissing, Dancing, Singing, Jo LuQ's "Backpack" and upcoming hip hop artist Sum-in-1's banging' singles "Launch Pad" and "Again and Again".

Producer, record label owner, and recording artist Tom Rothrock has played an integral part in the careers of Elliott Smith, James Blunt, and Beck before launching a solo career with the 2006 album Resonator. Beck’s breakthrough hit, “Loser,” was originally released on Bong Load Custom Records, a label Rothrock formed in the early ’90s with fellow producers/musicians Rob Schnapf and Bradshaw Lambert. Rothrock and Schnapf went on to record Beck’s platinum-selling debut, Mellow Gold, with another producer, Carl Stephenson. Rothrock and Schnapf also handled production for the track “Ramshackle” on Beck’s 1996 album Odelay, and a year later the pair were nominated for an Oscar for their recording of Elliott Smith’s “Miss Misery,” featured in Gus Van Sant‘s film Good Will Hunting. Smith’s 1997 album Either/Or and his 1998 effort XO were also helmed by the duo, and two years later they were responsible for the crisp sound of Richard Thompson‘s Mock Tudor. Their work on the Supreme Beings of Leisure‘s 2000 self-titled album found them firmly in command of the trip-hop sound.
In 2002 Rothrock worked on the heralded About a Boy soundtrack with Badly Drawn Boy and in 2004 he composed the music for the Michael Mann film Collateral. His work on James Blunt‘s 2005 album Back to Bedlam helped earn Blunt five Grammy nominations that year. In 2006 he began his solo career with the full-length and entirely instrumental Resonator, named after a type of acoustic guitar with a metal center that’s often referred to by its brand name, Dobro. The Bong Load Custom Records label was revived to release the album. - David Jefferies

Hunnypot Records brings you the brand new Asva music video for the lead single "Birds" from Presences of Absences.
"G Stuart Dalquist's Asva is joy to behold...Presences feels like a new dawn of sorts"—The Wire
The sonically, emotional "Birds" is driven by gracefully arranged organs laced with Toby Drivers' beautifully sung falsetto vocals, that will captivate you from the first note. The Chris Purdie directed video is a perfectly subtle flowing extension of "Birds" - sonically and visually stimulating to your eyes and ears.
"Presences of Absences...both a deeply human record, and a record of being human."—mr. atavas
Presences of Absences is now available at iTunes and Amazon through Hunnypot Records/Important Records (2011)
"Not heavy in the traditional sense of ‘heavy’ but emotive and powerful, not quirky, not elusive or exclusive, but a different breed entire. Presences Of Absences is about sincerity, goodwill and compassion, honesty, hard work and in the deepest sense, thanks and reflection at the end of the day." - G. Stuart Dahlquist
