In 2014, singer/songwriter Georgia and producer DWhiz collaborated to create the duo LiiNKS. Hailing from Canada, they combine Georgia’s haunting vocals with DWhiz’s cinematic beats. This electronic-pop sound is exemplified in their new music video for the song “This Feeling”. When asked about inspiration for the song, Georgia stated, “all our songs come from personal experience and this tune is about falling in love with an understanding that nothing lasts forever. Nothing stays easy and we just wanted to write about those love-at -first-site feelings and wanting to hold on to them forever.”
Recently LiiNKS was featured on several high profile electronic viral hits with artists Datsik, Mord Fustang and Ephwurd which combined have had over 3 million plays online. Their most recent collaboration was with Datsik and Blink 182’s Travis Barker on the song Dark Star that LiiNKS co-wrote and features Georgia on vocals. LiiNKS is currently writing and recording in LA and working on their debut EP set for release in late 2016.
LiiNKS will be performing at the Hunnypot Live show on August 8 at The Mint. This event is open to all ages and is free.

Based in Glasgow, Scotland DBFC is composed of Dombrance, David Shaw, Antoine Reininger and Guillaume Rossel and together they are a fusion of Disco, House, Techno, Indie, Post Punk, New Wave and most things in between! In their own words "DBFC has no strategy, DBFC is not interested in any political lies or promises, DBFC is inspired by the spontaneous combustion of the sixties and the endless possibilities of dance music, DBFC is not afraid to be accused of being schizophrenic nor longing to be praised for its diversity, DBFC refuses to choose between making dance records or rock records" The song Autonomic in particular is very reminiscent of an 80s sound with a New Disco vibe and a throwback style of 4:3 aspect ratio with a lower resolution opposed to the traditional widescreen almost all videos are shot in today. I don't think this is unintentional it clearly is meant to fit the vibe of the song and the stock footage while seemingly random chromatically fits the song as it progresses through the video.
From Los Angeles, CA Jasmine Jordan explores the different facets of love coming from a strong, confident, yet still imperfect person, to create rich stories that are heartfelt and empowering. Incorporating the soulfulness of Groove Theory, the sweetness of early Mariah Carey, and the sexiness and edge of Aaliyah, Jasmine stands out in the trending alternative pool with her timeless lyrics and sound. Jordan just released her 'Things Change' EP this year and followed it with a tour around California. Her Single 'Man Down' is a raw emotion felt vocal with crying guitar in the bridge. The song evokes the pain of loss but also conveys that the pain is only temporary and you must move on.
CC Dust is a new synth-pop duo consisting of Mary Jane Dunphe of Olympia, Washington's Vexx and Laurent Dagnicour. Their debut single, "Never Going To Die" showcases the duo's love of both dancing and electronic beats. Although Dunphe is known for her punk influence as a frontwoman, she clearly lets loose in this new project. In the video, she triumphantly dances near water as cosmic synths bump in the background. This is the kind of airy, dreamy, synth music you would want to be dancing to all night.

Jemuhni was Recently featured in Music Connection Magazine's July 2015 issue for his debut album ‘This Is Worth It.’ And then again in their December 2015 issue under ‘Top 25 New Albums of the Year’ Edgy, dark and cinematic, this artist’s songs leave us marveling at his originality. Not only does he bring a daring vision to his Alt-Pop Hip-Hop style but he succeeds in a way that is as accessible as it is ahead of the curve. Whether it’s the dynamic, dramatic Chinese gong that’s matched with heavy rock riffage on the sexy song “Red Dragon,” or the epic, humming, buzzing synthesizer stokes in the percussive, hip-hop infused “Don’t Back Down,” or the more orthodox yet no less original “Learn to Fly” (where he shows his vocal dynamics with an effective falsetto) Jemuhni never forgets the value of a catchy hook. He avoids predictability as gamely as so many other artists cling to formulas.Jemuhni plays all the instruments on his tracks and produces everything himself.
(All songs referenced are from Jemuhni’s debut album ‘This Is Worth It’…New EP dropping this Fall!!)

In 2000 I didn’t start rapping because people liked rap music. There weren’t people around me making rap music, it wasn’t cheap to get the gear, it wasn’t easy to make rap music, and it wasn’t easy to share your music with billions of people. I started rapping because hip hop was the most powerful thing I had ever encountered. More powerful than skateboarding, and skateboarding was supercharged electricity to me. In my personal quest to make my livelihood and my art indistinguishable nothing was impossible. Hip hop may not have taught me that, but hip hop made it tangible and possible for me. I left loved ones behind; I moved from Weston to New York to, LA, to Arcata, to Oakland, to Mendocino, to San Francisco, to New York, to Las Vegas, to LA; I wrote for the Mishka blog for 3 years and helped to define the internet rap era; I made Hyperbolic Chamber Music 1 & 2 with 27 and 35 rappers respectively; I endured homelessness for a year and got hit by a car in the middle of it; I survived off food stamps, trimming and selling weed, occasional freelance work, and eventually a steady job as a community manager for a tech company. For 5 years I did whatever it took to ensure that I’d be able to keep making music on my terms for the rest of my life. I didn’t do anything to get more popular, I didn’t do anything to make money off my music, I just kept making music, kept turning down the wrong opportunities, and kept ensuring that I’d be making music tomorrow, and dealt with whatever life threw at me. I got fucked over a lot, and it made me work harder. People look at me and think I’m a nerdy privileged white guy, but that has more to do with their eyes than my life. I’m a person who came from the outside with nothing, and made a lane for himself. My life was defined in large part by my father’s job. He is a criminal defense attorney to some of the world’s biggest accused narcotics entrepreneurs, murderers, Mafiosos, and various bad guys who make up the fabric of hip hop signification today. Grisleda Blanco was the lady who was gonna kill my whole family long before she was a hip signifier. That's what I came from, but I don't wear it on my sleeve. I know who I am, and I stay in my lane. People don’t get that my music is about selling drugs, breaking the law, smoking lots of weed, not letting anyone stop you from reaching your goals, pervert sex, dealing with the isolation that comes with relentlessly pursuing your personal idea of success, and remaining positive. That’s okay, I don’t expect everyone to get it, in fact I design it that way. My music is designed for people who listen.
I’m an artist who earned an MA so that I could always have the last word on my art, and no critic or scholar would ever be able to hold anything over me. I’m the Jew who went to Catholic high school and got voted funniest in the senior superlatives. I’m the journalist who the artists respect, and I’m the artist who the journalists hate. I’m the rapper who has always made his own beats, mixed his own records, done his own art, and shot his own videos. I’m the musician who releases music on his own label. I’m a pervert and a feminist. Who I am is the result of a lot of disparate elements coming together and working on me being a rapper. I’m almost 35 and I never blew up, and that’s fine with me, because I just wanna keep making the music I love. If the world ever comes around I'll be here, and if not I'll still be here all the same.
Johnny Siera and William Broussard of The Death Set have combined with visual/video artist Sofia Szamosi for their latest project called Tiger Tooth. Experimenting with dark synthesized beats and artistic visuals, they are quickly becoming an impressive multi-faceted multimedia art project. With their latest release of a remix of Leonard Cohen's "Everybody Knows", they cement this reputation and continue to express their passion for deep house and techno music, along with slightly creepy, artistic visuals. How many fetishes can you spot?
