Marquis Hawkes

The faceless Berlin-based, U.K.-given birth to artist Marquis Hawkes never attempt to build a persona that was mystifying or interesting. Rather, he shied from interviews and image opportunities and allow his music perform the speaking. His first discharge, 2012’s Detroit-referencing, lo-fi home EP Cabrini Green, made an appearance on Glasgow-based label Dixon Avenue Cellar Jams and was implemented a year afterwards with the Sex, Medications & Home and Higher Pushes at the job EPs. Fitting beautifully in to the resurgence of acidity house-influenced, hardware-led creation function that was developing on labels such as for example L.We.E.S. and Power Home, Hawkes’ function steered him in to the awareness of London label Houndstooth. The U.K. garage-inflected Fifty Fathoms Deep made an appearance by the end of 2014, while produces for Crème Corporation and Clone’s Jack port for Daze series also made an appearance that yr. In Apr 2015, Hawkes lowered his second EP for Houndstooth, RECYCLEABLES, which gained him compliment for his undertake the lo-fi home sound that got graced his previously work. The maker followed up along with his debut full-length, Sociable Casing, in 2016.
