Houndstooth

Houndstooth is a UK independent record label that has been making waves in the music industry since 2013. Based at fabric EC1 in East London, this label is known for its innovative and diverse range of artists and performers. The label is run by *a2554693*, who is also responsible for the popular *l229559* podcast series, as well as *Rob Butterworth*, who curates the fabric and FABRICLIVE mix series. With their finger on the pulse of cutting-edge music, Houndstooth continues to push boundaries and deliver groundbreaking sounds to music lovers worldwide.

Marquis Hawkes is a highly respected artist in the electronic music scene. With his unique blend of house and techno, he has captivated audiences around the world. Drawing inspiration from artists such as Mark Hawkins, Paul Johnson, and Black Loops, *Hawkes* has developed his own signature sound that sets him apart from the rest.
Hailing from the UK, *Hawkes* has been making waves since his debut release. His tracks have caught the attention of industry heavyweights like Aphex Twin, Carl Craig, and Richie Hawtin. Influenced by legendary acts like Kraftwerk and Larry Heard, *Hawkes* brings a fresh perspective to electronic music.
Known for his energetic DJ sets and dynamic live performances, *Hawkes* continues to push boundaries with every release. Collaborating with artists such as Adam Beyer, Jeff Mills, and Disclosure, he constantly evolves his sound while staying true to his roots.

Despite an aversion to the spotlight, Marquis Hawkes is one of the fastest-rising names in house music. A string of 12″s for labels such as Dixon Avenue Basement Jams, Clone and Aus preceded a trio of exceptional EPs for Houndstooth, which won him swathes of new fans, from the DJ booth and the radio studio to, of course, the dancefloor.  Now he presents his long-awaited debut album 'Social Housing'. Inspired by and named after his surroundings, 'Social Housing' is a sonic celebration of the positive impact that living in not-for-profit, association-managed social housing in Berlin has had on Hawkes' life and music.  Made up of 12 brand new and unreleased tracks, showcasing and transcending Marquis Hawkes' penchant for soulful vocal cut-ups and jacking drum-machine jams, this stunning debut LP represents over two years of dedicated creation. Tracks including 'Apple Of My Eye' and 'Tim's Keys' feature input from Hawkes' regular collaborator Timothy Blake on keys whilst 'I'm So Glad' features the soaring vocals of one dance music's most recognizable voices, Jocelyn Brown. Leaving no artistic stone unturned, Hawkes commissioned his friend, illustrator and fellow musician Alan Oldham (aka DJ T-1000) - a member of the Detroit collective Underground Resistance who's renowned for his graphic novels and cover artwork for labels such Transmat and Djax Up-Beats - to provide us with the visual manifestation of his creation. The cover artwork was drawn from a photo taken by Hawkes' wife in the area of East Berlin that they live. 3LP - The vinyl is cut and mastered by Matt Colton.
