STUDIO CITY, CA, September 30, 2010 /24-7PressRelease/ -- The new album by Erik Hawk, Erik Hawk & The 12-Bit Justice League, plays like the soundtrack to an action movie. An action movie for the dance floor! Every song could underscore a scene, from the opening action of "Introductions", to the heroics of "On a Mission", and the closing images of "Into the Sunset". So, it comes as no surprise to learn that Hawk's alter ego is composer/producer/remixer, Erik Hawkins. His music has been featured in countless film and television shows, including Ugly Betty, Lie to Me, CSI: Miami, Burn Notice, Big Brother, Styl'D, and The Informers.
One reviewer writes, "What Hawk does well is to take an ever evolving genre like electronica and push the envelope even more with his superb beats and creative mixing."
Joining Hawk on his musical adventures are several critically acclaimed musicians, including Gilli Moon (vocals), Christine Wu (violin), Lygeia Ferra (vocals), Craig Seganti (trumpet), and the album was mastered by pioneering hip-hop producer/engineer Michael Denten. Hawk wrote/co-wrote, arranged, and produced all of the tracks. He plays guitar, keyboards, and sings throughout the album.
Hawk spent his college years running his own recording studio and producing hip-hop acts in the San Francisco Bay Area. Later, he played the LA club circuit for years as a DJ and performing live electronic music whenever possible. He has worked with and remixed a variety of name artists. A firm believer of the saying "share the knowledge", Hawk has published several music production books, The Complete Guide to Remixing and Producing Drum Beats (Berklee Press) and he teaches music production courses at www.Berkleemusic.com.
For remixers and DJs, remixable music stems for "Supar Star" and "Delicious People" are available on the physical CD at CD Baby, www.cdbaby.com/cd/ErikHawk. You can also find Erik Hawk on iTunes, and on the Web at www.facebook.com/erikhawkmusic, http://twitter.com/erikhawk, and www.muzicali.com.
