We had an inkling that it wouldn�t be long before Marquis Hawkes reared his mysterious ass again. Even after the success of his last drop for DABJ we�re no closer to finding out the real identity of this cheeky funkmonger. He�s probably holed up in his caravan right now, taking massive bong hits, fingering his 808 and having a good old laugh at us all. And if he isn�t doing that then he�s most certainly at the club, double-fisted with two fine single malts and draped in wimmin, while the DJ drops his shit. �Higher Forces at Work� is a solid entry in what is rapidly becoming a signature sound: raw ghetto elements mixed with deep and melodic arrangements. 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. Both have that ripping, flanged percussion that cuts dancefloors to ribbons, with �Divine Intervention� acting as a sort of acid-driven counterpart to the electronic soul of �Higher Forces". �I Want You� is almost this E.P�s answer to the righteous thunder of �Sealion Woman� from the last cut. Although, the tracky punishment of the latter isn�t quite present on here, Mr. Hawkes certainly knows how to wield an old-time sample in a deft fashion and the surging bass and jungle percussion of this track will take the heads to elevated levels. 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.
