scott hardkiss is one of electronic dance music's most innovative & enigmatic 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, blues, latin, classical, go-go & surf music to name just a few.

born in the bronx, ny, he eventually made his way to san francisco and inspired a motley crew of followers to join him in his mission, and together they founded the seminal record label, "hardkiss music." using the name god within for his own original solo productions, scott became one of the true innovators of the international electronic sound of the 90's and his ground-breaking records & musical style were embraced by djs, producers, & music-lovers worldwide. as a dj, he became one of the first americans to tour coast-to-coast and beyond, being touted as one of dj magazine's "top 50 djs in the world." scott's musical ambitions eventually grew even further and in 2001, after a decade on the "left-coast," he returned to new york and began to shift his focus towards composing & producing score for film & tv and working even more extensively with live players.

scott is currently completing his highly-anticipated debut full-length album "technicolor dreamer" for release this summer on his own new label god within. in this marathon retro-futuristic party jam he's writing, producing, arranging & performing all songs himself, along with contributions from artists including lisa shaw, britta phillips, j bowman, bobby harden, steven bernstein, stephanie alexander and a large band of live musicians, adding even more organic funk & soul to his next-school electronic sounds. it's all part of scott hardkiss' kaleidoscopic sonic vision, fusing the futuristic with the traditional, the electronic with the acoustic, and body-moving rhythms with heart-and-soul-moving melodies, vocals & songs.
