Hooligan's Holiday Productions dutsler

Hooligan's Holiday Productions is a multimedia production company located in the mountain city of Canon City, Colorado. Founded in Detroit, Michigan, in 2007, it has grown to include Hooligan's Holiday Studio "A", Amblin Entertainment, and the recently formed Ramblewood Entertainment. As of this writing, Amblin Entertainment will be morphed into Ramblewood Entertainment, providing a state of the art entertainment production company under one roof.

In 2007, Dawa Dave Utsler, Mixmaster Max, The FooF and Emi B. Tweeters, all 4 being local aspiring rap artists in Detroit, Dawa Dave as a producer, with the other three being the basis of the original "Hooligan's Holiday" group. The 3 piece group was located in the old Detroit Trade Warehouse on the banks of the Detroit River, in Downtown Detroit. Along with a few other underground rappers from the City, Nate the Skate, X-Mas Wrapper, Betty Bling, The Woodward Crew and 7 Mile Smile, They all thrived in the studios of The Detroit Warehouse building. Dawa Dave started as Big "D" Productions, and produced Hooligan's Holiday and the other listed rappers from 2007, well into 2009, Hooligan's Holiday did a tour of Northern Michigan during the summer of 2008, which was chronicled in their breakout video, "Summer Road Show 08". In August 2009, Mixmaster Max and Emi B. Tweeters re-located to Pueblo, Colorado, with the FooF staying back in Michigan to finish high school and pursue her education @ Oakland Community College, Royal Oak. Contractual obligations kept Dawa Dave in Detroit to finish productions for 7 Mile Smile and Nate the Skate until August of 2010.

Big "D" Productions merged with the newly formed Hooligan's Holiday Productions, and moved to Canon City, Colorado in August of 2010. Canon City is located 30 miles west of Pueblo, at an altitude of 5333 ft, and nestled at the foot of The Wet Mountains. As Dawa Dave put it, the higher altitude gave a more richer sound to the stringed instruments the group used. Not missing a beat, The FooF joined the group for a 4 week recording session at the newly opened studio @ 7th and Main St in Canon City. The band churned out four videos from that session, "Good Friends and a Bottle of Wine", "Were an American Band", "Ballroom Blitz" and "Live It Up". The Spring of 2011 saw Emi B. Tweeters graduating High School from Pueblo South Senior High, and Mixmaster Max graduating from Beulah Middle School. With her sights set on enrolling @ The University of Colorado @ Colorado Springs, and Max entering Pueblo West High School that fall, that put the breaks on the Hooligan's group for a bit. So much so, that all members dropped their stage names and went by their given names, Max Utsler, Emily Utsler and Jackie Lecznar. With the stoppage of HH videos, Dave Utsler moved into more mainstream videos, first doing a couple retrospective videos, "Champagne Supernova" and "Home sweet Home", which chronicled the groups Michigan years. He continued with such topics as Homelessness in "Hunger Strike", child abuse in "Hell is for Children", the plight of Vietnam Vets in "Baba O'Riley, the 1967 Detroit Riots in "Panic in Detroit", Drug Abuse Awareness in "Again" and the Colorado Springs Wildfires in 2012 with "Ashes To Ashes".

The group got back together in the summer of 2011 for the Rocky Mountain Fest, which was held in Telluride, Colorado that summer, doing a 6 week tour over the summer also. They come out of that with the hit videos, "Rising Sun", "See Emily Play", "Drops of Jupiter" and the smash video, "Whats Up.
