Since the mid-90s, when the Hardkiss clan was particularly prodigious in terms of hype and musical output, the glow of that eclectic west coast tribal thing has dulled. However, the hardcore shall prevail, especially the talented and Scott Hardkiss has shown his ability to survive any permutation of electronic music. He made the jump to New York a while ago, but his ethos remains decidedly left coast and on his last God Within full-length it shows. He has also shown his continued relevance by enjoining a bevvy of remixers including Brennan Green, Bjorn Torske and here the Brooklyn outfit Telepathe. The new remix EP features Telepathe’s progressive, inspirational rerub of the album’s final track “You & I” which is sort of a long dancefloor rinse, a slight-return to end the night. Sort of fuzzed out, disarming in its simplicity and overall a more contemplative track. Immediately upon checking it out, I was reminded of those youthful west coast moments — eyes closed, head back, smiles as we head off to sleep (or something more nefarious).
