house music for your mouf!
HotDish Party! Jonn Hawley and JC Hanna!
Apr 25th
As HotDish approaches its 3-year mark, the vibe is bursting at the belly. There is no doubt that HotDish has truly become one of the top-notch EDM alternatives in the Twin Cities, where house music is the Holy Grail and inclusion is valued – our shows are more diverse than Cee Lo Green’s wardrobe. So, to celebrate we’re enhancing the great taste with fewer calories and pouring down a bit of Milwaukee’s very best: the infamous duo of Jonn Hawley and JC Hanna!
Jonn Hawley
Jonn Hawley made his DJ debut in 1991 and helped define the Milwaukee underground dance movement. He has taken his passion and talent all over the globe to cities such as New York, Toronto, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Chicago, Detroit, Miami and even as far away as Hawaii and Ireland. Jonn began working on production in early 2000 achieving massive acclaim while earning an elite position among the current class of deep house innovators. In 2002, he began releasing tracks using the aliases Under Origin, Sound Navigators, and 5900 West; he also established Foundation 75, his production studio. In 2003 Hawley launched his label, Soul Fuel Recordings. Since then his work has appeared on numerous underground house labels, such as OM, Large, Bump Shop, Klassic Fiasco, and many others!
JC Hanna
Deep in the game for well over a decade, JC is not new to the scene by any stretch. After an introduction to rave culture and house music in the mid 90s, his life would never be the same. He’s been involved in the scene in all aspects from promoter, to dj, to sound engineer, label owner, and producer. He’s known for top notch efforts and quality across the board. Not interested in the fame fortune like many of these new “DJs” coming up, JC’s main focus has been and will always be THE MUSIC. Be it deep, tech, filtered, or otherwise… in some form or another, he’ll be playing house music till the day he dies. Working with Jonn Hawley at Soul Fuel Recordings and in the studio as Shadow People he’s garnered respect from the underground community both regionally and worldwide. With forthcoming releases on Lingo Recordings (Cincinnati), Smoke City Music (NYC/Huddersfield), and their own imprint Soul Fuel Recordings (Milwaukee) this local favorite shows no signs of slowing down soon.
HotDish
Per usual, HotDish hosts Nate Laurence and J Matthews will be slightly drunk, shoe-less, ready to rock, and bringing the energy you’ve all become accustom to! See you there!

HotDish Black Light Party! March 3rd 2012
Feb 18th
Oye!
It’s HotDish time once again! And…with the massive (sold out) success of the last HotDish “Black Light Party,” it’s only fitting that we do it again. So nab your fluorescent garments, strap on your glowing gear, and whiff the tater tots…cause it’s gonna be an ill-disciplined cook-off! Discount if you are wearing glow gear!

DJ Aldric
Due to popular demand, we are proud to include DJ Aldric to the HotDish movement. The man has been a true staple in Minneapolis funky-ish for as long as we can remember. He’s held down multiple residencies throughout the Twin Cities and is responsible for uniting hip-hoppers, punk-rockers, EDM’ers, and your mama on the dance floor. His unique blend of anything and everything funky, with an amazing understanding of the music, has created a true following for Aldric. We’re so excited to have him!
Aaron Brooks
Also on the bill is Minneapolis’s own Aaron Brooks. For the past few years, Aaron has dropped his skills at numerous dark rooms in the city and has quickly put together a resume of fellow dance music enthusiasts who will vouch his ability to make you move. Aaron considers himself a purist, and baulks at the commercialism of the modern day club scene. With an underground background, and passion that would scare any garden-variety DJ; His deep & jackin, groove oriented style of dance music will erase all sense of time, and put your mind in a fog until the lights (sadly) come on.
HotDish
As we usually do, Nate Laurence and J Matthews…well…you know. See you there!

HotDish Video Booth! Lee Jarvis Show 2/4/2012

HotDish Presents – Lee Jarvis and Bryan Gerrard
Jan 23rd
It’s HotDish time…strap on your fork-n-spoon hip holsters!
Special guest is our long-time friend, Lee Jarvis (London, UK). As most HotDisher’s know, Lee brings his own brand of heat and passion every time he’s in Minneapolis. He’s no doubt become a HotDish favorite, with multiple requests for his return around town, and we get to snatch him when we want due to a jello spanking deal and a beer boot….don’t ask. If your not familiar with Lee’s work with Moochin London, Fat Records, Freerange Records, and now his new imprint Vizual Records…you best ask som-body.
Opening the spot is hometown hero, Bryan Gerrard. Bryan needs NO introduction in Minneapolis. This is Bryan’s second showing at HotDish. We’ve been trying to nab him since the last time he played and we’re lucky to have him back. His “House Proud” night has shot through the roof and can easily be called one of the Twin Cities best house night (we’re biased about HotDish being the best but what the hell do we know?). BAM…..GERRARD IS BACK!
We must also note that this show will be the return of Nate Laurence to HotDish. The support that has gone out to him has been amazing and he’s taking his health challenges head on. He’s ready to return and rock the spot the best he can after a terrible bout with hearing loss and other challenges. Come show your support. And per usual, he’ll be shown up by J Matthews. It’s a HotDish “reunion” not to be missed!

2.) This is HotDish’s first legit photo party. So make sure you got your hair did, and your fresh gear on. We are gonna have some fun with this so make sure you join in and get your picture taken, HotDish style!
Our super duper supporting DJs for the evening:
Brownie - Fricken right son! From the Detroit Ninja Academy (and recently House face melting terror squad), we got Minneapolis’ very own Brownie! Recently at house proud, Brownie stepped in and brought an already bumpin crowd to mass hysteria. We are happy to have him back and know you will too.
Santo Spaceship - S’about time! For his first appearance with HotDish, we got Santo Spaceship from Minneapolis, MN. Get down to the club at 10pm cause he is going to start the night off right. His selection is going to get you going, so make sure you dont miss it.
