Unfortunately there is no Live artist performance audio for Rocky Business or Lil Brown Kid. :(

For our 260th Hunnypot Radio show, we packed the house as usual with one of our most star studded line-up of guest DJs and musicians alike. But before we get to our special guests Hot Tub Johnnie got us movin’ and groovin’ with his set featuring new favorites from Steve PoltzChela, Bite The BuffaloFIDLARShakka and much much more.

Following Hot Tub Johnnie, we jumped right into our first special guest DJ set and interview with Grammy Award winning producer and mixing engineer, Jack Joseph Puig. JJP is one of the most sought after producers and engineers in the entire business. Jack sat down for an exclusive one on one interview with Hot Tub Johnnie. He touched on many of his past experiences working in the studio with Courtney LoveThe Goo Go Dolls and gave incredible insight to his creative process. Jack spoke about the creation of his widely used Waves Audio Plug-ins that have truly changed the way audio is recorded. JJP also came prepared with a set list of some of his favorite songs that he has worked on over his long successful career. His favorites include HUGE hits like "Iris" by The Goo Goo Dolls, "You Get What You Give" by New Radicals, "Soak Up The Sun" by Sheryl Crow, "Glamorous" by Fergie and many many more.

Directly following JJP, Hot Tub welcomed electronic music pioneer Thomas Dolby to sit don't for a very special interview and audio retrospective. Dolby was in town to promote his directorial film debut, The Invisible Lighthouse which had recently won 2 awards at this year's DIY Film Fest. Thomas spoke about the film and also lead us on a journey through his career, as we played some of his top hits including "She Blinded me With Science", "I Scare Myself", "Spice Train" and "Europa and the Pirate Twins". It was an exceptional interview and retrospective as Thomas completely opened up and gave us great insight into his past accomplishments and what we can expect to hear and or see in the future.

After our special guest interviews, LA based indie, rap, punk band Rocky Business took to the stage and performed a killer set of high energy tunes. They had The Central rocking out hard as they played new tracks and their 2011 single "Heath Ledger" which was the highlight of the night.

Following up Rocky Business, was LA based electronic producer/artist, Lil Brown Kid. LBK showed his diverse talent as he played acoustic guitar over dreamy electronic based production and layered them with his chilled out vocal melodies. LBK is the complete package - a DJ, producer, singer and songwriter. Be sure to stay up-to-date with all LBK's latest happenings as Lil Brown Kid prepares to release his self-titled debut album.

Last but certainly not least was our final special guest of the night, none other than iconic French DJ/Producer, Joachim Garraud. Hot Tub Johnnie sat down with Joachim for a brief interview as they spoke about his latest projects, the Space Invaders and how he is enjoying living in the US. Usually performing for as many as 50k in Paris on a nightly basis, Joachim gave the intimate Central crowd one of his classic DJ performances which was so intense it garnered one of the very first Hunnypot encores!

All in all, it was another amazing show put together by the incredible Hunnypot Unlimited team. Huge thanks to everyone that came out to support, everyone that performed, and both the The Central SAPC and Hunnypot crews. We couldn’t make it all happen without each and every one of you.  03/11/2013

Apologizes to Andrea and Lisa for the super-hot and sadly distorted recording of the interviews. :(   The LIVE performances sound good.

For our 257th Hunnypot Radio show, we packed the house with an awesome line-up of guest DJs and musicians alike. As per usual, Hot Tub Johnnie got us movin’ and groovin’ with his set featuring new favorites from Piney Gir, Clubfeet, Chela, Prince Sole, Trinity Gold, Johnny Ringo and more.

Following Hot Tub Johnnie, we had our guest DJ for the night, Andrea von Foerster (Firestarter Music) dazzle us with her set of new favorites, including but not limited to: Ellifant, Flume, Clean Bandit, Man Without Country, Icona Pop and more. Thanks for a very entertaining set Andrea!

After Andrea’s set, we were treated to a special interview and live performance from Lisa Loeb, who has a new album available for pre-order now! Loeb showcased her new tunes for us, but made sure to satisfy our craving for the classic “Stay” that helped launch her career in the mid-90s. Very much a tribute to the 90s, her new album No Fairy Tale, co-produced by Chad Gilbert of New Found Glory is a fresh compilation that shows us just how diverse and well-rounded her talents really are. For more info on Loeb’s new tour dates and happenings, click HERE.

Following Lisa Loeb, the funky tribe that is The James Douglas Show brought some serious energy to the stage. I’m pretty sure that every person in the room couldn’t help but move their feet and dance with us. Not only did they bring the funk/R&B vibe, they brought an infectious party to the stage.

Following JDS, our new friends in Electrik People brought some fresh new music to the stage. It’s hard to follow a huge band that brings energy like JDS, but if anyone was up for the challenge, it was these guys. Not skipping a beat, they kept the party going with their electro indie tunes, reminiscent of 80s pop with a contemporary electronic twist. To learn more about these guys, visit their page HERE.

Finally, just when we thought the party was over, the electricity continued to flow with a special performance from Electro Horse. Theses guys hung in there and kept the dance floor moving into the early hours of the morning.

All in all, it was another amazing show put together by the incredible Hunnypot Unlimited team. Huge thanks to everyone that came out to support, everyone that performed, and both the Central SAPC and Hunnypot crews. We couldn’t make it all happen without each and every one of you!

Next up was Matt Jaffe and the Distractions coming to us from The San Francisco/Bay Area. These kids might be young, but the energy they brought to the stage was mature an they definitely knew how to rock the house. Listen to their interview with Hot Tub Johnnie for a taste of who they are. We are excited to see where these guys are going, and thank them again for bringing us an incredible performance!

Last but certainly not least, Chloe Riley, the next hot thing from San Diego, brought the house down with a sizzling performance. This chick brings the swagger and the dance moves to back it up. We can’t wait to see/hear more from Chloe in the very near future. She had the crowd enthralled with her performance and we’re sure she’s gonna go far.

We’d like to thank the Central SAPC for hosting yet another incredible Hunnypot soirée, and major thanks goes to all the people that make it happen, performers and crew alike!  01/14/2013

Balt and KO spoke together about how they first connected and took us deep into the recording process of The Wow. We featured some heavy bangers “Whittier Blvd.”, “Highlife” and “Who Are We” taken off their debut mixtape Re-Imagined (available now), which will be followed by their debut full length LP in 2013.

Starting off the live segment of the show was featured performers The Wow consisting of Balthazar Getty and KO The Legend. The LA based hip hop duo hit the stage hard as they performed one of their first ever shows for the Hunnypot crowd. They set it off with their new single “Whittier Blvd.” and which lead into their swaggering rendition of “Somebody That I Used To Know”. The Wow kept the crowd excited as they welcomed renowned reggae vocalist Elan Atias (The Wailers) to the stage for the smashing soon to be released 2nd single “The High Life”. Show The Wow some love by checking out their brand new video for “Whittier Blvd.” and download their new mix tape Re-Imagined.

Next to hit the stage was LA based R&B singer/songwriter, Davion Farris. Davion’s voice soared over the smoothly laced R&B beats, as he hit us with addictive pop melodies and heartfelt lyrics. The performance was top notch as he featured an explosive live drummer and sexy exotic dancers. We recommend checking out Davion’s debut EP #IMakeRnB: S.M.A.R.T. Music: Vol. 1 featuring the single “Birthday Girl” (feat. Casey Veggies).

Our final performers were Portland, OR based blues rockers, Hopeless Jack and the Handsome Devil. This hard hitting whiskey blues rock duo may have stole the show as their high energy blues rock tunes lead the Hunnypot crowd into a dancing frenzy.  12/17/2012

The Wow

THE WOW

The Wow is comprised of rapper KO the Legend and producer Balthazar Getty. The setup is the traditional MC + DJ/Producer, however the result is far from typical. The Los Angeles-based collective crafts slick worldplay hugged by production that runs the gamut of sounds and styles, undoubtedly due to Getty/KO’s sonic upbringings. Described as meeting at the intersection of DJ Premier and Kanye West, The Wow takes the love of ‘90s Hip-Hop and accents it with modern sensibilities and the result is dynamic. The Wow are set to release their debut mixtape titled Re-Imagined on 12/26 followed by their self-titled debut album in 2013. Their video for the torch single “Whittier Blvd” is consistently gaining steam on YouTube, directed by the famed Amanda Demme. With a strategy solidly in place, The Wow are geared for the next phase in their career. A combination of beats, rhymes, and tales of life, the duo is destined for great things. “At the end of the day, what matters the most is the music,” Getty says. “We’re here to create something special.”

HOPELESS JACK THE HANDSOME DEVIL

HOPELESS JACK & THE HANDSOME DEVIL

This Portland, OR based duo is a raucous and raw element of rock & roll grounded in the roots of soul and hard blues. Hopeless Jack Beisel (lead/slide-guitar, vocals) and Smilin Pete Thomas (drums) form the power duo of the Rose City's strip club filled, liquor sodden nightlife working-class. They draw their sound from such greats as Robert Johnson, Muddy Waters, Seasick Steve, Scott H. Biram, Johnny Cash, Junior Kimbrough, Gun Club, The Dirt Bombs and The Gories. "They bang it out with all of the frenzy of the Stooges combined with a shock-and-awe strut gleaned from the early-era bluesmen. The live performance is a key aspect of the band’s sound. While their just-released debut Shallow Hearts-Shallow Graves gives a solid indication of the guys’ down-and-dirty feel, the sexed-up chaos of their stage show is a thing not to be missed." -Nick Hilden/SSG Music

As he always does, Mr. Hot Tub Johnnie himself got our 253rd Hunnypot Radio Show off the ground and running. A few highlights from his set were: "Wonderfully" by the wonderful James Douglas Show; the classic "Ungawa" by Chow Nasty; and "#1 Crew" by Treated Crew. Right after Hot Tub's set, we stopped to chat with Seven Saturdays for a minute. They showcased a piece of their live-set-to-come with Eleven Eleven off of their self-titled debut EP and talked a little bit about what they've been up to.

From there, Ms. Laura Katz (Music Supervisor; Cutting Edge Group) impressed us with her set list comprised almost 100% of bands with names that start with B. My favorites (again, my opinion) were: the exclusive debut of "At Your Door"by Big Harp; "Hurracan" by The Blind Shake; and "Family Tree" by the Black Lips. She kept the energy high with an old school feel, and we appreciate her for that. Among many other things, of course. 

Mr. Daryl Berg (VP of Music; Shine America) brought us our next set which was a little slower paced, yet it didn't sacrifice any intrigue. A few that peaked my interest were: "Debonair" by The Afghan Whigs; "Hello" by Martin Solveig (feat. Dragonette); and "Reach Out" by Nas (feat. Mary J. Blige). Be sure to check those tracks out, and follow @DarylBerg on twitter as he is one of "Billboards's Twitter 140." Thanks for a killer set Señor Berg.

Starting off our live segment, we were dazzled by Toy Bombs, a group from Salt Lake City with a very versatile sound. What started out as a pop-rock band at the beginning of the set, swiftly morphed into an almost rockabilly, Elvis-influenced rock-and-roll band. From the sparkly silver guitar to the rotating front-men, these guys were certainly stimulating.

The entrancing Seven Saturdays was on next, and they switched up the mood with their loud distorted guitars and manipulated feedback, yet in a shoe-gazer rock sort of way. Definitely a powerful, emotionally intense performance. They too had rotating vocalists, only this time one male and one female. Both were extremely talented, which was to be expected in such a stellar group of musicians.

Lastly, and certainly not least, we were entertained by our good friend E-Train, aka Mr. Erich Malo. Constantly lighting the mic on fire with his quick lyrics, he never disappoints. One of my favorite tracks is/was "Wreck the Discotech" which will be on his upcoming sophomore album, Imagination of Mr. Malo set to release on the 1st of the year, 2013.

A hug thank you goes out to the Hunnypot crew that makes all the magic happen every week. Much love to the Central SAPC for hosting us at their fine establishment once again. And last but not least, a big thank you to all the performers and guest DJs for bringing us some amazing content for yet another killer Hunnypot Radio Show.  12/03/2012

Published in Hunnypot Live

This past Tuesday night, our great friends at Blue Microphones opened the doors to their state of the art studio at the House of Rock mansion in Santa Monica. The studio which was designed by multi-GRAMMY winning mixer/producer Jack Joseph Puig and Blue Mics', Tyler Barth was the perfect place for our Hunnypot Pop-Up Radio Show.

Hot Tub Johhnie kicked the intimate party session off with an all "Hunnypot Artists" DJ set playing all the standout tracks off the brand new Hunnypot Vol. 10 Sampler including Far East Movement, Yuna, RICH, Teenage Bottlerocket, The Dollyrots, The Wow, Steve Poltz and many other great gems you should know.

Helping kick the party into full gear were LA alt-rockers and Hunnypot favorites the ROBOTANISTS. The band which is lead by lead singer/songwriter, Sarah Ellquist performed a stellar live session for the intimate crowd, playing standouts and fan favorites like "Wait a Minute Here" and "The Ghost You're Haunting". Sarah and the boys also premiered 3 new tracks which will be featured on the bands' forthcoming LP set for release in early 2013. Be sure to head over to the Hunnypot website to listen/download their entire performance!! The House of Rock/Blue Mic studio crew did an incredible job...as they engineered an absolute peerless sound session!!

DJ Boom Shack also got into the action, as he closed out the night with some intense jams by HP artists' Eighty4 Fly, Peachcake, Skull Tape, Wool and newly breaking artists Trinidad Jame$, Lorine Chia w/ Chance The Rapper and many more.  11/27/2012

Robotanists

ROBOTANISTS 

"Female-fronted indie at its finest, a soulful voice cast over booming guitar and the downright pretty production quality typical of the genre. The Robotanists are here to fill that void [of bands like Denali] in every respect, and "On/Off The Ledge" is as sincere as it is dancy, adjectives that normally take effort to pair together. Catch the LA quartet's full length, Plans in Progress, out February 15 on Overhead." 
~ RCRDLBL.com (USA) 

“Evocatively dreamlike without sacrificing command or precision. [Plans in Progress] moves consistently through a spectrum of hushed melodies, crashing choruses and driving rhythms. The Robotanists’ third full length album may be the shortest, but it’s the most relentless and auspicious in what lies ahead for the four piece.”
~ IndieRockReviews (USA)
