Hot Tub Johnnie and the HP Radio closed 2013 with another rockin' show last week at The Mint. Hot Tub dropped some of his top new digs which included tracks from Max Elto, Mansions On The Moon, Wavves, B.o.B., Charli XCX and many more.
Renowned LA based supervisor, Jonathan Weiss of Bunim-Murray Productions joined us for a special interview/DJ Set. Jonathan sparked a smokin' playlist ranging from punk throwbacks, cuban dance music and modern party songs. Including favorites from the likes of Ian Oliver, The Esquille Collection, Pharrell Williams, Poncho Sanchez and many more.
Kicking off the live performances was LA based rock quartet, Turbo Lightning. Fronted by lead singer Dana Poblete, Turbo Lightning displayed an eclectic set of high energy alt-rock jams that featured guitar heavy riffs backed by catchy hooks none more evident than on the title track to their 6-track EP "Faster Than Light".
Next up we featured a special dual-ling interview with DJ/Production duo, HTTP & the sexy and charming female rapper/songwriter/entertainer, Mickie Ryan. The three collaborating artists joined us for a sit down interview to talk about their creative process and to drop a few bangin' singles including the YouTube video smash "Not Too Drunk Too F*ck" and "Pay Me". Following the interview HTTP dropped a killer DJ set with some bombastic beats.
Hunnypot favorite and LA rapper, Kosha Dillz headlined the show with an exciting performance. Kosha is no stranger to Hunnypot and it showed as he completely light the stage up as he performed a fun high energy hip hop set, engaging with the crowd and getting everyone into party mode. Kosha dropped some of his classic jams and new cuts off his latest release, "Awkward In A Good Way".
Closing out the night was LA based hip hop duo, Awefully Awesome. Living up to their name the duo of Luck and Spex completely packed the house with a smooth chilled out performance of tracks off their latest album, ReFRESHments.
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! 12/30/2013

TURBO LIGHTNING
In Los Angeles’ fertile, Smell-centered mid-2000s noise-rock scene, no one got as close to pure pop as the dearly departed Mae Shi, a supercollider that often sounded like a dozen bands’ ideas being realized at once. Not surprisingly, they’ve splintered into nearly a dozen other groups since their dissociation in 2009; specifically, band member Jeff Byron has created Batwings Catwings, Physical Forms (which included left-field rapper Busdriver as a member), and Turbo Lightning, a quartet that also pulls in Dana Poblete (Batwings Catwings), Aaron Farinelli, and Zach Lewis (Hex Horizontal). The first single from their self-titled EP (out November 15), “Faster Than Light”, is the most instantly accessible Mae Shi-affiliated output yet; whereas HLLLYH bounced off the walls, “Faster than Light” gallops forward with purpose and assurance, palm-muted metal riffs providing a pacesetter for Poblete’s sweetened vocals. Still, “Faster than Light” allows itself to veer from the center of the road, making judicious use of spirited cheerleading group vocals and spastic drum fills to remind you who’s behind this.
