Below Zero

Welcome to an elaborate musical universe created by Gavin Hardkiss.  HAWKE characterizes the many collaborations and original sound clashes executed by one of the world's most renowned and mysterious DJ/Producers. In 1992 he recorded the first single "3 Nudes in a Purple Garden" which was featured on the classic Hardkiss album "Delusions of Grandeur".
 
Over the past decade, he has remixed the likes of Elton John and The Beatles, performed alongside Snoop Dogg and The Buena Vista Social Club and released original recordings in Spain, France, Italy, the United Kingdom and the United States. Gavin's focus, however, has consistently been on the artist albums released under the guise HAWKE. "Namaquadisco" was released on Sunburn Recordings in 1998 and "Heatstroke" released on Six Degrees Records in 2002.  Now comes the third original album, "Love Won Another" which was recorded over two years and is very eclectic.

The album is a dazzling collection of songs culled from sessions with a variety of musicians, friends, lovers and artists who visited the Calistoga retreat over a period of 2 years. Between harvesting olives and crushing grapes with bare feet, guests to the farmhouse would contribute song. With traditional instruments, household appliances and children's musical toys alongside the electronics and computer studio equipment.
