"Life" is the latest single from UK based Electronic Rock Music (ERM) project LUPA. You'll know immediately as the music begins that this is a rock track. The group is showing their flexibility with this single shifting from the dance music feel of their last single, "Don't Fail Me Now ", where lead singer Livvy M sounded like a young Janet Jackson. On "Life" she is far more commanding. Overall "Life" is a tight little ball of fury that would be great for a film or television placement.

Esbie Fonte

ESBIE FONTE

Fonte paves her own lane in the music world with her cinematic & dark but energetic sound. The hypnotizing "Here Lies" is all that and more. What starts off as a chant-like song evolves into a masterfully produced track.
 
Fonte recently released her single "Veins," a self-reflective track with a unique pop sound. Buzzbands LA says, "Esbie Fonte makes synth-pop for funereal dream sequences that dissolve from vivid and confrontational to dark and mysterious." Fonte explains, "'Veins' is holding a mirror up to your soul and being honest about the reflection staring back at you."
 
Esbie's previously released "Rosie" won the attention of The 405 who said, "Sparse percussion and beats are coupled with her punctuated vocals in the verse, feeling the casting of a spell. The chorus being a play on 'Ring Around the Rosie' only draws you further into the night."
 
She also garnered praise from tastemakers including The Burning Ear, When The Horn Blows, Come Here Floyd, and more. 
 
"Rosie" is otherworldly, cinematic, and sounds like a track straight out of an eerie horror film. There's an element of chaos, a ghostly anxiousness strung throughout the track that keeps you on your toes as well as a strong feeling of nostalgia as the familiar line "ashes, ashes, we all fall down" swirls in the background. A hypnotizing tempo reels you in and Esbie's haunting siren call keeps you around.     
 
Her previously released "Aces High," garnered praise from notable publications like LA Weekly who says Esbie "bends unexpected styles to create unique pop music."  The track was spun on KCRW's Latest Show and reached #1 on Hype Machine's Popular Charts.
 
Esbie is just getting started. Check out the Cemetery Drive EP and the single "Here Lies?"

PLVNK

Rapper JohnBoyCool is a fast rising star within the Compton Hip Hop community - you can see him surrounded by his peers on the cover of Kendrick Lamar's 'To Pimp A Butterfly' album; he and his Pirate GVNG crew have been featured on Vice TV's "Noisey," as a straight up rap artist he's opened for acts like 2 Chainz - but for his latest project PLVNK (pronounced Plank) he wanted to explore other sounds and styles.

"Where I went to middle school, I had a bunch of rocker friends. I was listening to Blink 182, Nirvana. I always loved the sound of drums and guitars..."

A chance meeting led to a collab with Israeli singer Nachum Peterseil (frontman for Automatic Toys, an alt-rock group with a love of all things electronic.) Despite coming from completely different backgrounds and cultures, the two vocalists found that had a lot in common ("He literally survived wars...and I have my own stories to tell".)

After a series of successful live shows, plans were set in motion for writing sessions to continue that vibe. 'JB' brought in Joey Mora (a.k.a. 'The Klassiks', a maverick Hip Hop and Dance music producer), whilst Nachum drafted Automatic Toys drummer Sir Mal, a UK recording artist with a list of credits including Pete Yorn and Andy Allo.

"We've got the rapper telling his stories; this old-school, rocking lead vocalist from Israel, the hopeless romantic from London...from the beat, the producer - they're putting in what they've been through. Love and Life and Society. This music crosses boundaries...it's for Everybody, not just this or that community...different friends, kids, your Grandma!"

As a music lover and photojournalist, I have followed Tech N9ne’s career since his early years and have bared witness to his meteoric rise in the music industry.  His hard work and unbelievable business acumen paid off in spades, and he ultimately became the undisputed #1 independent rapper in the world.  With 13 albums under his belt (and 8 additional in his collabos series), Tech has sold more than 2,000,000 albums worldwide and has toured extensively all around the world.   Add in his now infamous Bou Lou Beer (a business venture with brewing giant Boulevard Brewing Company) and it’s easy to see why everyone under the sun wants to team up with Tech N9ne is some way, shape or form.

On Tuesday May 30th, Tech N9ne and his Strange Music disciples descended upon the House of Blues in San Diego, CA for one of the first stops of 2019’s It Goes Up Tour.  Legions of fans (known as Technicians) showed up early for a meet & Greet as well as a chance to crash the barrier early for a chance to see Tech up close and personal. 

The first opening act to take the stage on Tuesday was Los Angeles hip-hop artist know as Dax.  Goodness gracious, the energy that this guy had throughout his 30-minute set was unbelievable.  The crowd was on their feet and fully engaged from start to finish in a way that most openers might not be able to pull off.  If you are a fan of real hip-hop, I’d check out Dax’s latest single, “Self-Proclaimed 2”.  It’s straight fire.

Next up was Miami based hip-hop trio known as ¡Mayday!  Active in the game since 93’, Bernz and Wrekonize along with percussionist extraordinaire NonMS slayed their set with a passion and precision rarely seen in rap these days. One of my favorites from ¡Mayday! has always been “Darker Shades” off of their 2012’s release, Thrift Store Halos.  I’m happy to report that they absolutely killed it along with every other song in their set.  These guys are what’s right with hip-hop today, and well worth the price of admission on their own.

As fans were just beginning to catch their breath, UBI from the CES CRU assaulted the crowd with a powerful set that literally rocked the venue to its core.  He whipped up the now packed house into an all-out a frenzy that would set the stage for the rest of the evening’s festivities.  After a raucous 30-minute set, you may have thought his was all said and done until Ubiquitous jumped down into the pit.  Those lucky enough to smashed up against the barrier got serenaded by UBI with one final track that put an exclamation point on an incredible performance.  Super fun set from one of Kansas City’s finest and a perfect segway to the main attraction Tuesday night, Tech N9ne.

Around 9:40pm, the lights finally dimmed, and a short video played signaling the arrival of Tech N9ne on the House of Blues stage.   The place went nuts as he kicked off the show with “N9NA” of his latest album (of the same name).  Krizz Kaliko then joined Tech on stage performing “E.B.A.H.”, and as always, this dynamic duo was brilliant.  Over the next hour and a half, Tech N9ne put on a near-flawless show that seemingly blew the roof off of the House of Blues.  Technicians were treated to a massive set consisting of over 20 mind-blowing tracks featuring classics like “Am I Psycho”, “Riotmaker”, and “Einstein”.  These jams got even the most reserved concert goer out of their seat and on to their feet.  Tech’s set finally ended around 11:00pm with a searing encore featuring hits “Caribou Lou” and “Hood Go Crazy”.  Perfect way to end a Tech N9ne show and one I won’t soon forget.

For those who have the opportunity to see Tech N9ne on his 2019 It Goes Up Tour this year, make the call now and buy your tickets today.  Tech N9ne is an absolute genius - flawless vocals, relevant lyrics, and non-stop energy from beginning to end. He brought it on Tuesday evening and showed San Diego why he is considered one of the most incredible artists on the planet today.

Endgame Like Beckham: The children of Marvel superheroes defy their parent's wishes and start a soccer league. The Beyonder kidnaps them to Battleworld to compete against Kickers Inc. for a New Universe galactic trophy. None of this has anything to do with Hunnypot Live (4/29/19).

We do wage a not so Secret War on mediocrity though. Hot Tub Johnnie broke box office records for coolest opening set. Carolyn Richardson gave us her Supervisor origins story AND got onstage as Music Carolyn to give us Rhythms, Blues and pop hues. Natti Vogel opened his chest and poured his heart all over us with just a voice and a piano. Lauren Rocket blasted us with OG forces of pop music. Josephine Clark confidently commanded with clutch compositions. Memento reminded us why we asked him back to rap and the night closed with another famous Hunnypot Dance party.

Memento live384

MEMENTO

Combining the lush richness of a film score, the rhythm section of a rock band, and the introspective storytelling of underground rap, Memento is a hip-hop artist from the San Francisco Bay Area.

He loosely categorizes his music as “hip-hop with an indie rock sensibility” — meaning that he uses live instruments and records his vocals within a few takes to capture raw, genuine emotion. Memento avoids the use of studio trickery in order to achieve authenticity, and always believes that less is more.

He approaches his music with the mindset of a composer: he wants the instruments to say what the words are saying, without the words. In order to do this, he pays great attention to detail while crafting his melodies and rhythms. Once the instrumental can express the emotion on its own, Memento paints a picture through his stories, his emotions, and his observations, all while maintaining a brutal honesty.
