It only seems like a few months ago that Dixon Avenue Basement Jams appeared out of nowhere, brandishing some brash ghetto-flecked house business from some unknown called Marquis Hawkes on a vividly colourful 12″. But look here the Glaswegian label are racking double figures on the DABJ cat no scale and celebrating in requisite fashion with some fresh hotness from the now Berlin-based Hawkes housed in a label tote bag. Having established a sound across his previous DABJ releases, it’s nice to see Hawkes try and succeed with something a bit different here. Lead cut “Honey Kisses” is on a blessed carnival tip and pushed forth by some killer broken beat programming, whilst “Let’s Do It” is an ascendant slab of piano-flecked boogie house. Face down and “House Is My Castle” is more familiar MH fare, slipping into 303rd gear for some hollowed out acid house whilst “Roger Funk” is on a killer freestyle tip.
