LISTEN TO MARQUIS HAWKES 'SWEET' NEW EP

Hawkes's third outing on Houndstooth sees him rework R&B and funk

Marquis Hawkes latest release for Houndstooth, following on from the excellent ‘Raw Materials’ EP earlier this year, is a soulful affair.

On his third 12” for the London label, the British producer reworks snippets of R&B vocals into slinky slow-burners like ‘Sweet’ and ’When I Get Home’.

‘At The Witness Stand’, which you can hear in full below, is one of the release’s standout tracks: a slick 808 jam that blends together handclaps and harmonies over a funky bassline. 

Sweet is out 30th October on Houndstooth.

You can preorder the 12" through the label and on iTunes.
