So who is this Hawk that so many people are talking about? The guy behind those tracks and remixes being hammered by djs as Above & Beyond, Markus Schulz, Tiesto, Paul van Dyk, Armin and on Pete Tongs show on BBC 1?
Well, Hawk are actually named Håkon Lofthus, and were born in Gjøvik, Norway, back in 1985, and discovered music at a very young age.
As a 7 year old, he already started playing the guitar, but over the years the guitar have been replaced with computers and synths.
A dj-mixer was bought, and he learned beat mixing the hard way. No pitch or cue involved, only a crappy Sony cd player and a Discman. Gaining status in the area with his friend Thomas Sagstad as the talented, young djs they quickly got bookings on bigger parties like Myth, Fascinated and Payday in Norway.
Production wise Håkon have evolved over the years, and got himself a nice studio setup and found his style of choice: trance, or more defined as a hybrid between progressive and trance.
As a 22-year old Hawk are now signed to the major labels Anjunadeep and AVA Recordings, as well as Enhanced, Realmusic Recordings and Active Recordings. He is also a heavily requested remixer and has layed his touch on tracks for labels such as Armada, A State Of Trance, Afterglow, AVA, Alter Ego and Enhanced Recordings. His tracks have been hammered from djs like Above & Beyond, Tiesto, PvD, Perry O..Neil, Armin Van Buuren, Markus Schulz, Tall Paul, Andy Moor and Matt Darey to name a few.
The track Need For Cognition was the one that boosted his career and have already been played on Pete Tongs Essential Selection, listed on the UKs Cool Cuts Charts +++
Even though his young age he already has 7 years of experience as a dj from small clubs to bigger partys across Europe. He has arranged some of the most successful parties in Norway, had numerous radio-residencies and are now quickly getting a name in the international scene as well..
With lots of releases coming up, radio-residencies and dj-gigs, this will probably not be the last time youll hear the name Hawk or HKN.
