INFO
"We live in a wo rld filled with adversity, The key to surviving and even thriving in this era of uncertainty is knowing how to walk in victory. The truth is we are more than co nquerors. We are VICTORIOUS." Floorplan

Floorplan is already well kno wn as Robert Hood's house outlet, which this year evolves into a family affair w ith co-production alongside his daughter, Lyric. 'Victorious' is the second Floo rplan album and follow-up to 2013's 'Paradise' which spawned 'Let's Ride, 'Baby Baby' and the massive 'Never Grow Old'. The new album itself is preceded by the double-headed single 'Music' / 'Tell You No Lie'.

As Robert once aga in extends his minimal techno sound via his 'Paradigm Shift' project on Dekmante l, he also returns his focus to house, disco, funk and gospel to the Floorplan s how, which now takes a surprising twist. Having watched her father DJ the world over from the shadows and numerous appearances in the Floorplan DJ set Lyric Hoo d comes centre-stage alongside her father.

"Hear my soul speak, is th e only way I can describe the way I feel about Floorplan, (Victorious) music is in my soul, my blood, I eat and sleep beats, music, rhythms, it's in my DNA. So Please, HEAR MY SOUL SPEAK." Lyric Hood

The Floorplan project first c ame to light in 1996 when Hood used it to announce his Drama imprint with the hi ghly sought after 'Funky Souls' EP (subsequently re-issued by Rush Hour in 2010) . Lying dormant for over a decade, the late 2000's saw a revitalized Hood re-est ablish Floorplan into what may well now be his most widely known musical outlet. This year, with his daughter making Floorplan a family affair, the duo's 'Victo rious' album is primed to set the world's dancefloors alight.

Launchi ng with the heady house swirl of 'Spin', Robert and Lyric then drop the deeper s tylings of lead single 'Music' which builds into a hypnotic, bass-driven anthem. Picking up on Hood's trademark razor-sharp percussion 'The Heavens & The Earth' brings the Bible to the floor (with added funk) and 'Good Thang' shows the stro ng influence of Chicago as a simple refrain turns into a house missile from the pulpit!

'He Can Save You' continues the Chicago/Gospel theme but with a more driving techno edge whilst 'Mmm Hmm Hmm' marries powerful chords to trum pets, dynamic bass, booty refrains and skilful sampling creating yet another han ds up anthem. 'Ha Ya' has that stripped back minimal feel we all know and love a nd perhaps the closest we get to touch on the classic Hood sound whilst 'Tell Yo u No Lie' is pure, un-adulterated disco-string drenched fun(k) and already teari ng down dancefloors as we speak.

'Push On' takes us back to the tight , knife-edged percussion of Chicago's house vanguard, reminding of the tougher s ounds of DJ International and DJ Deeon, DJ Funk and Boo Williams. 'They Can Tell ' kicks in with a no-nonsense, foot stomping kick drum as Floorplan chop up the vocal refrain into what becomes the main hook of the track and finally 'Sun In t he Sky' brings the disco back with yet another string-laden anthem to bring the Floorplan show to a fittingly, uplifting end.
