Marquis Hawkes, shaped by his environment, shows it in his debut LP on Houndstooth. 'Social Housing' gets its name from the surroundings he lives in, which influence his music. The East Berlin resident quickly brings this feeling to the dance - floor. 'I'm So Glad' features expertly chopped vocals over raw, pounding drums. 'The Landsberger Funk' has a deeper, more atmospheric style, and 'Fantasy' stands out with its funky, filtered vibes. There are no fillers; every track is a sure - shot floor - filler. Hawkes covers a wide range in the deep house genre, with jacking drums, positive energy, and intimacy at the heart of the jams. Music label: Houndstooth 2016. Reviewed by donut savage 07/2016.
