Marquis Hawkes Essentials
Playlist - 23 Songs
Marquis Hawkes' club tracks are like time machines flashing back to dance music's most iconic eras—‘80s Chicago, ‘70s New York—with every acid line and disco lick. The UK-born producer makes no secret of his influences: “Eivissa” pays tribute to Ibiza's sunniest piano-house anthems, while the filtered loops of “The Basement Is Burning” invoke French house at its silky ‘90s peak. The title of his debut album, 2016's Social Housing, nods to dance music's populist roots, and you can hear that idealism in the sweaty energy of tunes like “I'm So Glad”, whose pulse-raising simplicity verges on the sublime.
