Soon after releasing the first Hawke single “3 Nudes In A Purple Garden,” featured on the classic Hardkiss album DELUSIONS OF GRANDEUR, Gavin Hardkiss started focusing on producing albums that strayed from the well beaten paths of genre-centric electronic music. Hawke began to materialize through the many collaborations and original sound clashes that would develop over time. The first Hawke album NAMAQUADISCO was released on Sunburn Recordings in 1998. HEATSTROKE was released on Six Degrees Records in 2000. LOVE WON ANOTHER, described by the Orlando Weekly as “thick with the stoned-out, everything’s-cool-man optimism,” spawned two remix album and several music videos. In 2009 “+++” was released, and in 2017, LOVE IN STARS debuted with a treasure hunt with golden USB drives hiddened in the hills around the Bay Area. 
 THE DARK ART OF LIGHT WORK is the newest album. 
 "Perfectly-timed life's work epic, the music an extension of his same-named book exploring "what is beyond our five senses ... interstellar cosmic house with global flavours, the second downtempo going into astonishingly beautiful ambient calm, draped in trademark gorgeous piano." Kris Needs for Record Collector "And meanwhile, Gavin Hardkiss is over here, still contemplating music in unconventional shapes and sizes. While other artists are reaching backward, Hardkiss is trying to make something unlike anything else that came before it. “ Terry Matthew for 5Magazine
