Hawke

The release of Heatstroke celebrates the worldwide signing of producer/DJ/composer Gavin Hardkiss a.k.a. Hawke to San Francisco indie Six Degrees Records. Gavin has come to be indelibly linked with a mystical form of electronic dance music that globally represents San Francisco. As one-third of the famed Hardkiss trio (with "brothers" Scott and Robbie Hardkiss), Gavin helped to create and encourage a spirited, psychedelic approach to music and life with genre-defying songs and DJ sets. The Hardkiss label released various singles and one stunning compilation, Delusions of Grandeur, in the mid-'90s which serves as a veritable blueprint for its successors, one that continues to be referenced and admired by artists and fans throughout the world.
