Hunnypot #326 kicked off with Hot Tub Johnnie’s DJ set which included a couple of up and coming artists such as Superhumanoids (“Anxious In Venice”) and Young Creatures (“Fear All the Things”). Johnnie transitioned into a classic by Eddie Heywood and Hugo Winterhalter (“Canadian Sunset”) leading into the Hot Tub interview with The Greys.
The three siblings who make up The Greys—Sydney, Jayden, & Silas—sat down with Hot Tub Johnnie to discuss what they have done thus far and what’s in store for the future. We then get into Hot Tub’s second DJ set. He started off with Sydney’s favorite Jhene Aiko and rounded things off with Arnaud Rebotini’s Pagan Dance Move.
Sanaz Lavaedian joins Jeff "Pesci" Gray and Hot Tub for her FIFTH DJ SET. She is crowed with an honorary Fez as a newly minted member of Hunnypots 5-Timers club, joining luminaries Thomas Golubic and PJ Bloom. We get into Sanaz’s set with some new and established artists. “Born To Shine” by Big Grams ft Run The Jewels is one of the crowd favorites.
The Greys then take the stage and incorporate a variety of genres into their music. Their friend Jus Charlie is up next and he serendates the crowd with his vocals. We transition to rock music next with Ships Have Sailed, another up and coming band in LA. Mike Burns then takes over the DJ booth with some remixed Hunnypot classics. Longtime Hunnypot regular Giraffe preforms next and is followed by Spanish duo The Blue Dolphins. We close out with the Hunnypot Dance Party. See you next time! 10/05/2015
