Hardkiss
Revolution (The Hardkiss Remixes)

Album US 2015 on Hardkiss label
Dance (House, Deep House)

Started by Scott Hardkiss in Brooklyn. Finished by Gavin & Robbie Hardkiss and Jay Bowman in San Francisco. The new Hardkiss single REVOLUTION is a calling to arms to citizens who are tired and sick of the apathy and complacency in our collective hearts. There's so much at stake now. We need to rise above the profane and blase. Fight your own personal revolution. Go to war with the mundane. Welcome to the revolution! In the 1990's Hardkiss were a defining force in the infiltration of dance music in the USA. At a time when the mainstream were spellbound by Nirvana and Pearl Jam Hardkiss were a breath of fresh air. Their vinyl releases and DJ sets lifted the spirits and opened the doors to a shift in taste and attitude. Referenced in hush tones by Fatboy Slim The Chemical Brothers and Sasha Hardkiss were the early revolutionaries of DJ culture and EDM. REVOLUTION features the last recording made by Scott Hardkiss before his tragic death in 2014. Scott had been working on this remix when he passed away. Gavin and Robbie Hardkiss were able to download stems of Scott's mix and execute a version that resonates with Scott's passion intensity and playfulness. Robbie Hardkiss megaphones the funk on his brazen adaptation full of unexpected percussive drops and flares. Gavin Hardkiss version brings down the disco with the use of cut up vocal edits to full horned effect. "One of the most important EDM records of the last ten years." Magnetic Magazine "Hardkiss revisit the clean lines and heartquickening house rhythms of dance music's imperial phase when purity and love ruled above all else." San Francisco Chronicle
