The 294th Hunnypot Radio Show lived up to it's well known tradition. The night featured the cutting-edge and eclectic alt-jazz stylings of LA based singer-songwriter and trumpet extraordinaire, MATT VON RODERICK, high energy pop, rock n’ roll from Echo Park’s, THE MAYBE SUNDAYS, the infectious pop rock hooks of THE GOODNIGHT, the steamrolling pop punk of Arizona based trio, SLEEPWALKER and closing out the night was Canada's top up and coming hip hop artist, JOHN DOUGH who rattled the late night crowd with slick rhymes and heavy pop hip hop beats. These five acts made this past Hunnypot Radio Show one of the most memorable shows of 2014 - and that was just the live performances!
Hunnypot Radio Host, HOT TUB JOHNNIE put together yet another slammin' set of new music. Hot Tub Johnnie kicked off the show with a smokin’ set loaded with new gems from LOUIS PRIMA JR., HOLLYWOOD HOLT, THE INFATUATIONS, KIESZA, G. WHITE, KOLLEY/BIG K.R.I.T and much more.
Hunnypot’s own, BOOM SHACK, even got into the mix as he curated a blazin’ set of new tunes from LA’s own, MACHINEHEART, NETHERFRIENDS, VACATIONER,THE KNOCKS, MAPEI, KNOX BROWN and SYLVAN ESSO x MS MR. 06/30/2014
He rocks the trumpet. He sings. He writes songs. Classic. Cutting-edge. Raw. Emotional. A product of the vigorous New York City arts scene, Matt made his Carnegie Hall main stage debut as featured guest soloist with the New York Pops Orchestra through the invitation of Skitch Henderson, and was named top Jazz Artist by the Independent Music Awards as judged by rock music icon Lou Reed. Matt creates what All About Jazz calls “an other-worldly sound…something of a tour de force, he sings, plays, and uses his voice as a muted horn in a solo and duet with the trumpet…

As a Senior Director of Creative Services for North Star Media, I focus on signing artists, songwriters and composers, plugging songs and placing our diverse catalog into television shows, commercials, feature films, trailers, games, etc. Before working at NSM, I worked the other way around the creative process putting visuals to music for over a decade as a director’s representative for music videos.

I worked on music videos for artists such as: Johnny Cash (Hurt), Jay-Z (99 Problems), NIN (Only), No Doubt (Hella Good), Beyonce (Single Ladies), Katy Perry (Hot N Cold), DJ Shadow (Six Days), Audioslave (Cochise), Prince, Pink, Alicia Keys, Jack White, Shakira, Linkin Park, Beck, LeAnn Rimes and Bon Jovi, Chemical Brothers, Fall Out Boy, Red Hot Chili Peppers, John Legend and Billy Corgan.

Jonathan D. Haskell’s work as Seven Saturdays is informed by the desolation of afterhours Los Angeles. From dimly lit Mulholland Drive to the isolated streets of Downtown, it is in these quiet moments symphonic landscapes emerge; coming together to form the headphone-centric Seven Saturdays. Seven Saturdays began as a creative concept in 2010 when Los Angeles musician/producer Jonathan D. Haskell wanted to sharpen his engineering skills on off days during the recording of his first two EPs (Seven Saturdays – which Stereogum described as “gripping and mellowly epic” – & The Snowflakes That Hit Us Became Our Stars). Over seven consecutive Saturdays, Haskell challenged himself to write, play and record an entire song each day. Not only did this exercise lead to the band’s namesake and a full-length album (2011’s Love In The Time Of Anticipated Defeat), it also grew into something Haskell had not anticipated. “It was really cathartic because not only did a fully realized ambient record emerge from this experience, but that vision ultimately expanded the boundaries of what I initially thought my musical direction would be,” Jonathan explains, “whereas the first EPs were more structured and orchestrated, these ‘ambient’ recordings were free and sonically expansive.”

Born in new York and move to Los Angeles at the age of 3 years, his mom settled in the city of west Covina, which has both its negative and positive influence, but with the help of his step father on his side, Dozay shaped into a respectful, dedicated and hard-working young man. Dozay states,”From the beginning I knew I wanted to entertain people because I thought it was super dope.: Although some consider his music to be more entertaining than regular hip hop/ rap, Dozay still tries to maintain the elements of hip hop in his own work. He always makes sure that he does not stray away from anything else that’s coming out musically and at the same time trying to give his music a bit of a make-up or face lift while trying to keep it real and delivering fresh while having fun at the same time. Dozay loves to entertain. He will always help sell tickets on behalf club promoters to club goers and in return the promoters will let him perform in the clubs for free. Behind Dozay, is the man they call “The African Jew”.(GSE) The African Jew has been in the music industry for over twelve years.
“It’s a sound with scurvy, a creaming of fuzzed amplification that builds and fans out. Way out. Think Thin Lizzie (sic) and Black Sabbath burning on a pyre of Lincoln Logs. It’s a bloodletting of wattage with looping, chunked stacks of heaving guitars. If you’re afraid of the rock, don’t listen.” – Trent Moorman (The Stranger)
Since guitarist/vocalist Ben Harwood began the band in Seattle, Washington near the end of 2009, Hobosexual has been making the most of their local notoriety and having a hell of a great time. They sold out of the thousand-copy run of their self-titled debut CD (Hobosexual, 2010) before they’d toured more than an hour away from home and then recorded a live album at Seattle’s historic Columbia City Theater (Hobosexual: Live At The CCT, 2011), selling all two hundred cassette-only copies in a little over a month, all while they set the standard for other local rock duos with an uncompromising live sound that often sounds a hell of a lot more like a tastefully overdriven heavy metal quartet successfully attempting to drown out an exploding Boeing 747 engine. Now that Hobosexual has become a regular act at local music festivals (including the inaugural Timber Outdoor Music Festival in 2013 and Slack Fest – the raucous summer birthday celebration of KEXP-FM’s music director Don Yates – in 2012 and 2013), appeared on several local radio and TV broadcasts (notably KJR-FM’s Bob Rivers Morning Show, KEXP’s Audioasis with Hannah Levin, and Art Zone with Nancy Guppy), and sold out of their first self-produced line of pre-packaged 3-3/4” action figures, the band is releasing their second studio record, Hobosexual II. It’s fair to say that risks have been taken in making this album louder and heavier than the swampy lo-fidelity blues of their first release.

Cold Blood Club is a dark, indie rock love letter to New York City that puts a new spin on the electro dance/pop sound with an edgy blend of soul and rock influences. Inspired by life in New York and the likes of New Order, Depeche Mode, Broken Social Scene and The Flaming Lips, guitarist/songwriter Tom Stuart (Radio America) began writing songs for powerhouse singer Kendra Jones. What started as a small studio project quickly evolved into a collective of dynamic live musicians. After recruiting former bandmates Jesse Reno (Radio America) to play bass and Brad Peterson (Earlymay) to join on lead vocals, Cold Blood Club was soon joined by wunderkind drummer Shin Kamei (Angela Jane), flame haired violinist Hilary Davis (Bella Koshka) and Adina Benno on keys.
There is always a hint of menace and reservoirs of force haunting the corners of Eliza Rickman’s voice, whatever register it occupies. Her video for Start With Goodbye, Stop With Hello mimics the sound of her voice. It is inspired by the painting Proscaenia by Dino Valls. Eliza hangs out with small taxidermied critters inside a very elaborate dollhouse. There's no denying Eliza's avant-garde creativity. Her presence on stage—whether she wears flowers in her hair, or stuffed birds; whether she plays a Schoenhut toy piano or a grand piano—is an enveloping, soft darkness, impossible to ignore. Eliza Rickman will be joining us live this Monday 05/19 on Hunnypot Radio. Don't miss it!
Many have called Toronto based hip hop artist and OVO Sound affiliate, Jimmy Johnson one of the hottest rappers coming up out of Canada, but after the release of his latest single/video for "Sun Goes Down" he could very well be on his way to being one of the top rappers in the game. "Sun Goes Down" is a chill, atmospheric, banger produced by Eric Dingus and laced up nicely with Jimmy's menacing flow a la Drake. No album release date is set, but we will be here to keep you posted to future releases and updates. Be sure to grab the free download below.
We highly suggest checking out his most recent Mixtape, "In God We Trust" which dropped earlier this year. Hit the link for the free download.

Brandon Dorsky, LA tastemaker, Lawyer, Manager and founder of the SUPERGOODMUSIC blog sat down with Hot Tub Johnnie for a special interview/dj set. Dorsky provided a dope playlist which included tracks from LA's own YNGCULT, Vindata, Odesza, Ed Sheeran x Kygo, Brother Ruxpin and much more. Be sure to follow the SUPERGOODMUSIC blog for all the latest LA show listings and music updates.
Kicking off the live portion of the show was LA based, Russian singer-songwriter, Elizaveta. Performing a stripped down set with just her keyboard, Elizaveta quieted the room as she soared through songs off her latest EP, "Hero"including the single "Sorry". Adding beautiful pop melodies accompanied by emotional piano hooks. Our next guest was Zach "ReaZon" Heiligman (former MPC master for Foster The People). The LA based (via Minnesota) MC, Producer, Songwriter premiered his new single. As we took to the show to the next level we were treated to hyped up Hip Hop performances by Chicago's own Keith Masters, who coasted through a blistering set of catchy, electro-hip hop jams. Following up Keith Masters, was none other than LA based, DIY MC, VerBS. Kyle Guy (aka VerBS) rocked through a set of hard yet, quirky, indie hip hop jams. LA's own, Awfully Awesome jumped up to the challenge next and slammed an chill vibin' set of laid back 90s based boom bap, hip hop cuts. Closing out the night was none other than HP favorite/LA based hip hop MC, Kosha Dillz. Kosha dropped some hard hitting beats and rhymes as he performed some of his classics like "Cellular Phone" and new cuts "What's Goin On Upstairs" and "Hangin' Out". LA based DJ, Producer, Songwriter, Brother Ruxpin was the man on the 1s and 2s all night. Ruxpin dropped some heavy dance cuts in his DJ set which saw him spinning for well over two hours of jams. He even premiered his latest single "Got A Light" (feat. Tru Collins) earlier in the night during Brandon Dorsky's set.
Huge thanks to everyone that came out to support, perform, and both the The Mint and Hunnypot crews. We couldn’t make it all happen without each and every one of you! 5/05/2014

“Alchemy and music are similar in nature,” she explains. “You throw seemingly disparate elements in a pot. If you do it correctly, they’re transmuted and something else takes form. I take opera, multiple voices, electronic beats, piano hooks, add a pop melody and create a song. Shake it all well, make sure it’s emotional and really means something, and you get something special”.

Take the thoughtful lyricism of Lupe Fiasco, the R&B sentimentality of Drake, the bravado of Kanye West and throw on the Miami Vice soundtrack and you've got Electromajic; and Keith Masters is it's pioneer. His electronic, pop, and hip hop music can currently be heard on NBC, ESPN, The Oxygen Network, the NFL Network and the Fox Sports Network. He has worked with some of Europe’s hottest producers including Digikid84 and Futurecop!, as well as some buzzing artists in the US such as French Horn Rebellion, Hey Champ! and Kosha Dillz. If that’s not enough - Keith has had three top 5 singles charting on Hype Machine, and combine that with his impressive supporting performances with the Wu-Tang Clan, Foster The People and many others, Keith has proven that he is ready to embrace the spotlight.
