B Robert Hood - The Family



INFO
The exceptional music mechanic Robert Hood is firmly back in business for 2011, kick-starting the new decade with more M-Plant excellence.

James Ruskin takes a break from an impressive release offensive on his own Blueprint label to remix 'Alpha', the first single that was taken from 'Omega', Robert Hood's concept album of last year, which not only received immense support from the current tech-loving club and radio DJ fraternity but also gathered top rated reviews across international press.

The remix adds a touch of Ruskin magic to this A-side. While maintaining the essence of Hood's initial track, James provides a fresh outlook that is sure to be as well received as the original. This grooving percussive workout just exudes quality.

Over on the B-side Hood delivers a brand new track called 'The Family'. This is classic Robert Hood with its unrelenting rhythm, powerful bassline and a good dose of the funk. While most of us struggle through the cold, this will be firing up dancefloors the world over. Hood fans will not be disappointed.

VINCE WATSON: Ruskin mix is in the bag!
