Few indie artists have achieved the breakout notoriety that Dayve Hawk has built for himself this year. Upon a steady chain of remixes (for Yeasayer, Midnight Juggernauts, Fools Gold), releases (Call and Response EP, Seek Magic) and monikers (Memory Cassette, Memory Tapes, Weird Tapes), Hawk has become a crossover sensation among rock and electronica fans, critics and bloggers. From his succinct plans for 2010, it sounds as though he’s just getting warmed up.
