courtship. arrived on the scene in late 2016, when both Eli Hirsh and Micah Gordon left former rock band Bloodboy; the vampire sounding band to start a whole new project from scrap. Both rockstars left to mainly focus on writing and production. For years they have supported the local L.A indie scene performing in various bands like Dreamers and more.
They began taking out singles in 2016 steadily growing a new fan base, and they have not been letting their followers down. courtship. recently released a new track taking their fans on a trip down memory lane that only old timers might remember. The music video for “Guy Stuff” takes you back to that baby boomer era with a greatly adapted music video that is a great representation of the 50’s with dancing and badass choreography-- with a bleak ending that feminists might probably enjoy. The song is getting much love and appreciation from playlists all around including Spotify, which the song was added to their new music Friday playlist. It is also getting love from a bevy of people on Youtube with comments like “This is a GEM. And I don’t know why it’s not more popular” and my favorite comment “Spooky ending”.
Sonic manipulation is the cornerstone of Dillon Nathaniel’s unconventional approach to house music. In just a few short years the graduate of the revered Icon Collective and self-professed gear junkie has proven himself to be a technical mastermind and modern house music connoisseur. The strength of his thick low-end grooves and quirky sound design have caught the ears of A-Track, AC Slater, Destructo, Chris Lake, Malaa and Tchami. His sound has also begun to inject itself onto the ears of mainstream audiences with plays popping up from BBC Radio 1, Rinse FM and Sirius. And with appearances on Night Bass, Confession, This Ain’t Bristol, Main Course, and releases with Insomniac it’s clear his intent to “Shake up people’s perception of what house is” is well within reach.
While it may seem like this young bass technician has seen a quick rise, his roots run deep. The former audio engineer and gear junkie found his footing in music at an early age as a vocalist and guitar player. His father hoped to impress upon him a strong emphasis in dance music exposing the budding musician to the likes of Carl Cox and Sasha on road trips from the age of 8. He eventually brought Dillon to EDC at the age of 16. It was this that provided the ultimate inspiration to pursue a career in dance music. His ability to construct a mood extends well beyond the studio into his dynamic and energetic DJ sets. He’s flexed the subs throughout the country bringing his unique sound to Avalon Hollywood, Exchange LA, Webster Hall (NYC) and Insomniac Event’s Escape Psycho Circus. There is no doubt that Dillon will continue to turn heads as he pushes forward in his effort to reshape the face of modern dance music.
New Single Out Now: ‘Obsessions”
-Rositsa Aleksandrova AKA Al3xAndrovA
YUNG GRAVY the Twin cities; Minnesota native has come a long way to finally stepping up on stage performing singles like “Mr. Clean” and “1 thot 2 thot red thot blue thot”, which were hit tracks in the past years and a major collab with Lil Baby. His new single “GRAVY TRAIN” has now been released with almost 250k views on Youtube and his core audience are jumping on the comments that they need more of the track and are already saying that it is an immediate hit. YUNG GRAVY is on a roll with single after single slowly and steadily growing his fan base.
YUNG GRAVY has also utilized Maxine Nightingale's "Right back where we started from" as a perfect example as how this trap artist still reflects back on the soul and oldies from the 50's and 60's in his "GRAVY TRAIN" single using for posterity and new generations.
Shayna McHayle, better known by her stage name Junglepussy, is an American rapper and actress based in New York City. "Trader Joe" is her fantastic new single and this long form video Directed by Vincent Martell of VAM Studio is hilarious.
I can hear the faint sounds of the NYC-based rapper munching on healthy snacks. She’s fresh off the release of her third studio album, JP3, and the just-in-time-for-summer rendering doesn’t disappoint: There are shoutouts to nourishing your heart and body—from the food you eat to the company you keep—laced with her signature vivacity, sex-positivity, and heaps of Caribbean vibes thanks to her Trinidadian-Jamaican roots. How complex feelings spurred by trips to Trader Joe’s inspired the album’s first single, and the new addition to her skincare routine that has her feeling like Angela Bassett.

Omar Apollo is an interesting case and most notably has an amazing angle being first generation Mexican, breaking out as a solo artist. Apollo grew up listening to the Beatles tremendously as child, he also paid close attention to Mexican artists, like Pedro Infante and a lot of Vicente Fernandez. His songs have that immense soulful, psychedelically singer style to them and Omar has received plenty of success in Spotify already being Play listed. He toured around the country when he first released his EP, Stereo, which indeed was a bilingual homemade Psych-pop. His brand new album "Friends" takes it to the next level with the same components with psychedelic-pop/ soulful sounds that circulated the entire album in a breeze. His single "Ashamed" in the Friends album will likely be your favorite repeat song.

DIRTY LOVELY CREATURES is an odd mix of sounds. It’s influences range from Germany’s Boozoo Bajou to SoCal’s own Fu Manchu. Chris Brann’s Ananda Project and Shawn Lee’s Ping Pong Orchestra are also heavy inspiration’s for this unusual act. The lyrics center around human secrets, and “the things that people do, when they think no one is watching...” The majority of the songs are written by the group’s frontman, Boogiewhip, aka; lead singer of the Cabaret Rock n’ Roll Show, HOT SAUCE HOLIDAY. And they (mostly) chronicle the thoughts and opinions he carries towards the situations (and people) he witnessed during his “cult” upbringing in Northern California, circa, the late 90’s and early 2000’s. Cynical and sexy, vulgar and articulate, DLC is a one-of-a-kind music experience you’ve got to hear AND see to believe.

The catalogue the musician has put together is outstanding -- being able to cross between genres with projects like INDICA (self-titled), and now RETROMODERN. From Electronic to R&B; from Hip-hop to Pop, INDICA’s knows no boundaries! The rising star has solidified his roles as a musician, song writer, influencer and fashion mogul.

austenyo invites us to visit his shop on his new music video.
Combining a song with his merch advertisement was a genius way to release his new single “commercial”. Being closer to his fans is an important factor for austenyo, the laid-back hip-hop song expresses his will to give back to his audience with his awesome merch including T-shirts, hoodies and stickers.

A year before Mason Reese met the love of his life Sarah, and the couple became a recent news item, he sat down in the Hunnypot Live hot tub for a very special interview. We discuss Mason's acting career, his drum skills, his famous friends and of course, his favorite music.
There weren't too many goals when we started, but we definitely wanted to get to show #420. We made it! We are still riding a high. Hot Tub Johnnie dabbed us with party tunes. Madeline Ziecker lit up the tub with her origin story and a favorite tracks playlist. Deavion got us up from "couch lock" to pop and rock. Bonavega dropped a musical (bong) load all over our faces. MZ 007 smoked us out with her rap hooks. Elevaters got us lifted like Samson and Hot Tub closed the night with our 420th famous dance party. (7/8/19)
Madeline Ziecker spent the past decade living in France, Hawaii, Nashville, and NYC working as a journalist, commercial photographer, and branded content video producer. Upon moving back to her hometown of LA a couple of years ago, she realized that she was a workaholic that wasn’t getting a buzz off of any of the careers she’d pursued, no matter how skilled she was at them or how much time and drive she threw at them.
She decided to go back to her roots in every sense – her family’s business is music supervision and entertainment, and music has always been her first language and lifeblood. At 15 she was scouting bands for her dad to license for shows like Mad Men and Weeds. All grown up, she wanted to do it in a more official capacity. After interning and coordinating for some of the raddest, most creative women in music supervision, she’s found a home at ABC working for a true queen (think Elizabeth, not Freddy) of industry, Dawn Solér. Madeline’s now a practicing workaholic again with a full-blown addiction to this work in TV music that she feels privileged to be a part of every day. If you ask nicely though, she may still take your picture.

Born July 7th in Anchorage, Alaska. Deavion is based in Los Angeles, CA after relocating from Miami, Florida to pursue a career in music as a singer and song writer.
Deavion is known for his smooth voice, amazing dance moves and boy-next-door charm. He creates music in various genres, including Folk, Urban Pop, R&B and Alternative.
Some of his influences include Stevie Wonder, Busta Rhymes and Tears for Fears. After working with well-known musicians, producers and writers in the LA area he will be releasing a new EP in June 2019. You can find him performing at various shows in the Los Angeles area and music festivals in 2020. Deavion hopes his listeners find his music therapeutic as it has been a healthy outlet and a life long form of therapy for him.
Extracting inspiration from Queen, Talking Heads, Led Zeppelin, David Bowie, Duran Duran, Reggie Watts, and The Screaming Headless Torsos, BONAVEGA established himself in 2015 as THE new look and sound of performance based, theatrical pop music. Focusing on entertainment he builds his sounds and songs themes, at his home studio, around ideas and subject matter that are very relatable but then tells the stories in a way that are dramatic and unorthodox in order to captivate the audience.
Underneath his gaudy, ostentatious shell however, BONAVEGA has a deeper, fully aware intention for his seemingly trite "song and dance.” Zeroing in on corruption in the church and mocking bigotry with his sensual, homo-erotic, dance moves, the high society music industry and religious advocates protest his cheeky songs and taunting stage antics. Both sides of the coin feel he doesn’t squeeze into their box and fear his almost flippant disregard for fitting in or following suit. Poised and outspoken, he defends himself as a result of, rather than a cause of, a stifling religious upbringing and a “square” objectifying society.
BONAVEGA, completely aware of the ever changing musical climate, has released genre defying EP's and singles that individually hold their own weight and almost completely disregard one another in a way that continues to push his overly-confident out of the box way of thinking about music and life. The only thing left is the future. BONAVEGA has plans for touring/festivals/and premiers. He asks his followers to keep their ears and eyes wide open for whats to come and to also, as always “Take it off your mind… and take it to the floor."

Elevaters are a Los Angeles-based independent hip-hop, dance and soul group comprised of songwriters Sam Golzari and Benjamin Hall, producer/multi-instrumentalist David Noily, Drummer (and party starter) Andre Morton and emcee Miles Gregley.
The Elevaters' first full-length album 'Rising' was hailed for its rootsy, meaningful and clever tracks. Produced by Ian Kirkpatrick (Neon Trees, Plain White T's) the album featured 17 songs with musical influences as eclectic and diverse as their subject matter.
The Elevaters' notoriously infectious live shows took over Los Angeles garnering new legions of fans. The group toured opening for the likes of The Roots, Janelle Monae, Shwayze and Bruno Mars and released two EP's - 'Live 'n' Remixed' (2009) and 'Vol.1, Tonight' (2010).
In early 2012, the group's founding members set out in the studio to record their sophomore full-length record. The new album, titled 'Come Alive", (due in early 2014) is a leap into a decidedly newer sound. The record showcases the groups' evolution from traditional rock/funk arrangement/instrumentation into an exciting new fusion of analog and digital soundscapes. True to the energy of their live shows, the groups' new record is dance heavy with a mix of new disco, house, soul, and hip-hop - a broad sound which maintains its appeal while making a bold artistic statement.
