Marquis Hawkes returns with a new EP for Houndstooth, Sweet. Pairing up a sugary R&B sample with his signature swinging but slamming beats, opening cut When I Get Home is a return to the flavour of last year s summer smash Cant Find A Reason, although this time around, it s more tracky and introspective. Next up, a different facet of Hawkes production talents is reprised with At The Witness Stand, a trippy take on classic NY freestyle. Opening the B-side, title track Sweet furthers Hawkes trademark rough and ready house sound with distinctive vocal hooks and a hip-twitching rhythm, whilst bringing up the rear, What A Relief is a raw but inescapably funky drum workout that would make the likes of Traxmen & Eric Martin proud.
