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.

Our very own Hong Kong Dong just released this badass, glow-in-the dark video for their brand new single: Postcard. The band gives us a neon art show reminiscent of something out of Blue Man Group but with even more eccentricity and weirdness. We wouldn't expect any less from our avant-pop-rockers!
If you know Rainbow Jackson, you know these guys can party. These housemates/beer swillers/rock antagonists take power-pop and turn it into a bar fight. “Anthony” is the new single off their new EP titled Perpetual Summer. If you haven’t been lucky enough to party with the best of em’, this video shows just how much fun these guys have. Oh and it’s in slow motion so you won’t miss a beat.
Eclectic Approach is back with another hilarious out of this world music video. The guys did a kickstarter and asked their fans what they wanted to see in their next music video. From cross dressing to breaking-and-entering to giant trampolines, this video has EVERYTHING! Thanks for all the fun guys!
Come hang with Oscar Mazzola and The No Request crew!

A Hunnypot favorite, Nicole Millar has joined forces with Peking Duk for this down-tempo indie dance anthem. The track recently hit number one on Australias Triple J radio. The video follows the main character into the woods where he meets with fellow fur and paint clad friends who fight, scream and play with each other. Well worth a peek. For you locals, Peking Duk is playing the Aussie BBQ at The Bootleg this Sunday along with a ton of other great Aussie artists.
