We started our Hunnypot Radio show with a bang at The Central: SAPC in Santa Monica last week 08/27/2012 and it was packed with some serious entertainment! Huge thank you's to everyone who made it out, and to everyone who was a part of making it happen, it was a quite the success!

To get things started, Hot Tub Johnnie had a killer set of jams lined up that included music from The XX, Lil Debbie & Riff Raff, T.I., Brisco, Tyga, Talib Kweli, E-40 and many others. All super current tracks that y'all should check out! Also featured in Hot Tubs' set were 2 brand new cuts by our first performer of the night, electric-indie-rock group Fire In the Hamptons, who previewed their infectious track “Stargazer" and the toe-tapping "Humanimal" that was stuck in our heads for days.

Our industry guest DJ of the night was Music Supervisor at mOcean, Sanaz Lavaedian. This was Sanaz’s first time as a guest DJ, and might we say that she really brought her A-game. She had us jamming on the dance floor with tracks from P.O.S., Sebastian Tellier, The Shoes, Father John Misty, and more. Props, Sanaz, props.

Finally, to close out the radio segment of the show, DJ Boom Shack came in with a slammin' set featuring hot new tracks from Meg Myers, Retro Su$hi, Pheo, Skizzy Mars, Rebecca & Fiona and much more.

Kicking off the live performance half of the show were LA based electric-indie rockers Fire In the Hamptons. Lead vocalist Zack Hampton and co-conspirator Bert Selen put on a show to remember and had the crowd in a sweaty frenzy. If you have the chance to see Fire in the Hamptons, take it, we promise you will not be disappointed.

Hunnypot favorites, LA based FiNaTTicZ, brought out the ratchet in all of us during the second set of our live show. The FiNaTTicZ ignited a frenzy on the dance floor with their contagious beats. The Central was burning up as the boys performed their hit single “Don’t Drop That” aka “The Thun Thun Song” that is sure to take them to the top. They had us dancing, clapping, stomping and getting wild on the dance floor. If you haven't seen these cats live – you’re seriously missing out.

Rounding out our performances were LA urban, hip-hop trio K.O.T. - Kingz of Tomaro. This 3 piece collective brought some serious heat to the stage when they performed their current single “Turn Out the Lights”. The group is made up of Smoove, Paybahk and Zone, all of whom have their own solo careers, but have come together to represent the true spirit of west coast hip-hop. Be on the lookout for their debut albm, “Three Kingz” that will be released at the end of 2012 on ChopperHead Mama Records.

Our 245th Hunnypot Radio Sing-A-Long was "That's The Way (I Like It)" by K.C. & The Sunshine Band!

FIRE IN THE HAMPTONS

This LA based indie, electro-pop band is A tribal entity that has come to provide the Earth with the soundtrack for celestial lovemaking. On stage the concept transforms into a four piece band consisting of Aaron Bilyeu on drums, Ian Dowd on lead guitar and Emvy Venti on synth/ piano. A colorful array of remixed styles, from the polyphonic buzz of the early 80’s synthesizers to intricately strummed delayed guitar lines all riding on the back bone of deep house thumping kicks inspires and arranges the sound of this electric-indie-rock band. Check out their video for their latest single “Stargazer“.
