Singer/songwriter Mario Giancarlo, singer/songwriter and producer Jorge Velásquez, and drummer Alex De Renzis combine their talents as the band, Hunters of the Alps.

Hunters of the Alps began as an electro-tinged collaboration where Mario and Jorge could focus on different aspects of their musicality they had previously sidelined. They describe their music as moody, electro body moving dark rock pop. Alex has joined in as a drummer to play an integral role in the band both in the studio and live performances.

The band is inclined to stretches of mood building synths anchored by mid and up tempo beats. Gifted with combining their depth of knowledge to produce catchy melodies, danceable grooves, and heartfelt lyrics, Hunters of the Alps continues to prove that Miami-based talent has its place in the global music market.

Always eager to perform, HOTA has opened up for various renowned acts such as Tanlines, Twin Shadow, and throughout their musical career with world known indie rock groups (The Killers, The Walkmen, Franz Ferdinand, Peter Hook, The Stills and more).

We filmed this project during the LAMC festival in July 2015 realizing we couldn’t pass upthe opportunity to invite so many great hispanic artists coming through NY in the same week. Each band brought a completely different vibe to our space and we were touched when some of them made special song arrangements just for The House of Creatives. Mishu and The HoC have strong latin roots and we needed to showcase the talent currently surging from the community, it was really special having them perform and hang out with us.
