Last year was a crazy year for Luxxury. His "Luxxury Edits" was a smash hit. Such a smash that after over 1,000,000 plays and an article in the Wall Street Journal it was deemed “too hot for the internet” and was taken down from music platforms. However, as they say in Hollywood the show must go in. Luxxury is back and ready to release “Lxxury Edits: Series Deux” a new batch of live remixes that came from his DJ set. Take a listen to his first single “Talking Heads – Once In A Lifetime (LUXXURY EDIT)”. Its Hunnypot approved and we guarantee you’re going to love it!
British newcomer Salt Ashes is continuing to bring us her brand of dark disco pop with her new video for Let Me Go as well as her brand new single; Raid. Let Me Go flashes a ton of images of Salt Ashes rad and creepy dance moves. Europe is already spinning Salt Ashes everywhere. It won't be long before her success reaches across the pond and no one will be able to her infectious songs out of their head.
Nowadays, real Outlaw Country is rarely heard on the radio or dance halls. If you want the real stuff, you've gotta look for it. This music lives on within renegades who strive to keep the flame alive - mavericks who eat, sleep, breathe and bleed Outlaw music.
Casey Miller and Megan Wise are the Barnyard Stompers. Forget about every other two-piece band you've ever experienced. Barnyard Stompers is no novelty. It's honest and true, and doesn't very much care for anything that isn't. So if you're looking for authentic Outlaw sounds birthed in the heart of Texas, you've come to the right place.
Billy Gottlieb, Walla and a Burlesque Show!!! 2/23/2015
The mind behind Playback Music Supervision needs no introduction for many who are keen to his craft, but for those of you who don't know Billy Gottlieb, allow us to catch you up on his work: Pulp Fiction, Bring It On, The Basketball Diaries, and many others exemplify the versatility necessary to become one of the most active music supervisors in the world, which our man Billy most certainly is. Though 2015 may be very, very young, Billy G has the distinction of already having 4 television series set to air in the new year - all of which feature drastically different musical styles. We're shocked and flattered that he's taken the time out of his busy schedule to spin some of his favorite tunes with us, and you should be too.
The RYWOLF sound is a combo of mid tempo trip hop mixed with soul blues and funk. The band are writing and recording new material being co-produced by Guy Roche and Steve Diamond.

Ireesh Lal is a multi-instrumentalist and programmer whose debut solo EP– ETHNOTRONICA – combines original electronic music with exotic East Indian elements alongside the distinctly Western tones of the jazz trumpet, creating a captivating new sound. Currently based in Venice, California, Lal sites Thievery Corporation, Miles Davis, and Ravi Shankar as three of his influences, and you can hear traces of each artist on his new release. www.ireeshlal.com
WALLA formed out of different times, places, and hardships. By random chance, these 5 individuals found each other through digital means and a common love for inventing new wavelengths. The sound reflected confusion and hopelessness during a time of tough life decisions and rough financial circumstances. But through sheer perseverance and the culmination of different influences (everything from pop, funk, samba, rock, metal, folk, disco, and neo-psychedelia) WALLA quickly made an indestructible pact to maintain strong melodies and lyrics, putting above and beyond care and effort into each decibel of sound produced (almost to the point of neuroticism), and allowing each song to breathe its own life and soul. "We loved the idea of not knowing what type of song we would come up with next." Follow @TheWallaBand

ARIELLE DEEM kicked off the live music with a groovy performance of songs from her debut LP Now Place Like Now followed by New York transplant and electro-pop up-and-comer BECA. Once the tone was firmly established, NICKY DAVEY turned it upside down with his patented blend of r&b/rock fusion, after which MARLEE EAST took the stage to cap off a truly eclectic evening of live music.

Beca reveals a fresh, dark, fearless sound that’s all her own. Musically gifted at a young age, she graduated from the Juilliard School and traveled the world, performing with an array of artists while developing her own path and voice. Bursting onto the indie pop scene in 2012, her first two EP’s were released via UK label, This Is Music Ltd. (Charli XCX, Little Boots). The breakthrough hits earned praise from Filter Magazine who said “her talent for whimsical sounds and a breezy voice is worth listening to over and over again” and from Stereogum who described her music as “wispy, ethereal electro pop.”
Nicky Davey is a rock and soul band from Los Angeles, CA. Founded by Hollywood’s wunderkind vocalist Nicky Green and Lincoln, Nebraska’s prodigious guitarist Davey Rosser.
Seamlessly blending the sonorities of NWA era west coast G-funk with the country air-like serenity of bluegrass and southern rock, it’s clear the band breaks the mold of cookie cutter industry corporate rock that inundates the contemporary landscape. Welcome to a new era of rock and soul. Follow @NickyDaveyMusic
