Marquis Hawkes - Higher Forces At Work album flac

Marquis Hawkes returns to Houndstooth with new album, The Marquis Of Hawkes. The UK producer's second LP, which includes a track featuring Jamie Lidell, lands late next month. Kornel Kovacs, Jacek Sienkiewicz and Marquis Hawkes feature on the 16-track release, due out in June. Marquis Hawkes and Syracuse will also play the September event series at the Lyon club.

The rolling funk of "Automatic" is the most minimal Hawkes production yet but we're not talking no Teutonic functionalism here, just a stripped-back deep-bass bliss teetering on the brink of a disco meltdown that never quite happens. Title track "Higher Forces" and "Divine Intervention" are the best examples of Hawkes Ghetto inclinations here. To cut a long story short: Marquis Hawkes delivers another hit of real, rockin' raw shit mainlined straight to tha jugular and every ounce of hype he's been graced with recently is utterly deserved. This release will be on green vinyl with blue stamp and inlay.

Higher Forces At Workfeatures the same kind of steady but deep take on the Dance Mania template by Marquis Hawkes as previously seen on his first release, Higher Forces kicks off with some simmering vocals, spring loaded metallic percussion and thick analog stabs, while Automatic provides a strung out basement jam whose elastic synth bass and finely chopped samples offer a fresh take on the well worn formula of low slung disco.

Higher Forces at Work, his follow-up EP, confirms the producer has talents beyond simple throwbacks. That said, the unhinged pitch-sliding that runs throughout "Higher Forces" is straight out of Steve Poindexter's playbook. Rather than coupling it with a frantic rhythm, however, Marquis Hawkes drops the drums to around 115 bpm, which serves to draw out its abstraction. The pace is similarly sluggish throughout the record

UK house producer Marquis Hawkes will release his next album, The Marquis of Hawkes, on Houndstooth in August. The Marquis of Hawkes is the Berlin-based artist’s second LP for Fabric’s in-house label after 2016’s Social Housing. According to a press release the album adheres to a specific sound palette whilst still displaying eclecticism across its eight tracks. The album features guest appearances from spoken-word artist Ursula Rucker (on the previously released ‘Don’t U’) and Jamie Lidell, who provides vocals on album closer ‘We Should Be Free’, streaming below.
