Since the 1990's, Gavin Hardkiss (along with faux brothers Robbie and Scott) helped pioneer American electronic music, from releasing classic tracks that permeated the underground scene to remixing artists like Mazzy Star, Elton John and Michael Franti. With a fresh Dirtybird update on the classic "Acid Funk" by Hawke & God Within (two of the three Hardkiss brothers) about to hit the street, Gavin stops by Dirtybird Radio to lay down a set full of breaks, acid and psychedelic sonics.

Wicked Woods Music Festival 2024

Peep my live recorded set from the very special and intimate gathering, Sunsets & Shadows II. There's just something about playing an outdoor stage in the middle of nowhere that makes me want to get dark and dirty with my sound... :) thank you for listening <3

Live from Thailand, May 2025.  I was lucky enough to play the awesome Jungle Experience Koh Phangan party May 11th.  It's the monthly event on the island of Koh Phangan in Thailand the night before the famous full moon party there.

"Season's Greetings Dirtybird Friends and Family,
                Its been a wonderful year raging with you all, and as a special thank you for all of your support, we would like to give away a very special mix. Hopefully this musical journey will bring back some nice memories of that magical sunrise at the dirtybird campout where the SoCal sky opened up right at dawn and showered us with the first rainfall in months. Even if you were not there to share that special moment with us the first time around then hopefully this mix still gives you the warm fuzzies you need to stay cozy this winter. So sit back by the fire with some loved ones, grab a festive 40oz, and have a drink to some drum and bass with us.
Happy Holidays,
THE MARTIN BROTHERS"

Fritz Carlton and Lubelski have grown a cult like following over the years at Desert Hearts. They first popped onto our radar with their smash hit, "Doses", which has gone on to be one of the most downloaded tracks on the label. The boys followed that up with "2C-Bounce", a certified monster from our Family & Friends Vol. 1 compilation. Finally Lubelski just released his first solo EP on the label titled "Keep Going" and it's been smashing dance floors 100% of the time. Recorded live at 2am on Sunday night at our Desert Hearts Festival 2017, we know you're going to enjoy the weirdness from Fritz Carlton b2b Lubelski.
