scott hardkiss is one of electronic dance music's most innovative & enigmatic
DJ/producer/artists. he's created his own bizarre, funky, surreal, and uplifting
fusion of psychedelic house, breakbeats, funk, rock, hip-hop, techno, disco,
soul, jazz, dub, ambient, latin, classical, go-go & surf music to name just a
few. scott was born in the bronx, ny and grew up between nyc, dc, &
philadelphia. In the early 80s he fell in love with old-school hip-hop's
"anything-goes" sound & brilliant graffitti, got his first set of turntables &
taught himself to dj, and began sonic, visual, & psychological experimentation &
vandalism. being further influenced in dance clubs where electronic music was
blended together happily with rock, pop, & new-wave, he went on to study
literature & art at oxford university, living in the uk during the initial
explosion of the rave & indie-dance scenes and travelling to the spanish islands
to take in the diverse balearic sound. all of these experiences led him to found
hardkiss as a creative outlet for his own personal style of music & art through
djing, production, design & events. with his vision thus born he set off to open
heads & hearts and make booties shake by organizing & djing at some of the first
raves & electronic-music multi-media dance events, beginning on the east coast
and working his way out west to san francisco.
now in 2009, scott is back in nyc & currently preparing for his own
highly-anticipated debut full-length album "technicolor dreamer" for release
august 4th on his new brooklyn-based label, god within. for this marathon
retro-futuristic party jam he's writing, producing, arranging & performing the
songs himself, along with truly amazing contributions from artists including
lisa shaw, britta phillips, bobby harden, stevvi alexander, j bowman, greg
skaff, steven bernstein, tabitha fair, ernest carter, dj afro, the prophetz, and
a full-spectrum band of amazing live musicians to inject even more organic funk
& soul to his next-school electronic sounds. and a return to touring and full
physical & digital re-issue of all of his long-out-of-print and
highly-collectible recordings will follow. it's all part of scott hardkiss'
kaleidoscopic vision: fusing the futuristic with the traditional, the electronic
with the acoustic, the spiritual with the absurd, and body-moving rhythms with
heart-moving melodies, vocals & songs.
