Aus Music follow up a string of records from fresh signees Paul Woolford, Tom Trago and Recloose with the return of a long term friend and label favourite Marquis Hawkes. Hot on the heels of his recent LP ‘Social Housing’ - the Berlin based artist lines up ‘Doornroosje’, a tight a two-tracker that remains consistent with his output on Aus: dancefloor-focused jams suffused with simplicity and soul.

‘Discopuss’ kicks things off with a potent combination of samples and hardware as sassy Funk samples are propelled by tough crunching drums. The title track then follows up with piano stabs and busy, percolating synth lines driven at a pacy rate to rapturous effect rounding off another solid addition to Aus Music’s catalogue.

After our first release that overreached our expectations, Apér’House is back for a second Various Artists ! 

This time it won’t be a five tracker VA but a FOURTEEN tracker VA ! Yes Fourteen ! And for this occasion we took almost the same team but added some new name that won’t leave you indifferent ! Talented producers from all over the world - UK, Germany, Australia, France, Italy, Libanon & Switzerland ! 

Like in APRH001, the compilation will be divided in two parts : 
- The first one will be dedicated to boogie house including jazzy, deep, funky & soulful sonorities 
- The second part will embrace the path of darky & punchy house such as Lo-Fi, Acid, Rapide tones 

Furthermore, this release is also really special to us because 99% of the funds are gonna be donated to our beloved Indonesians friends that were recently hit by more than 1000 earthquakes in less than a month ! (The 1% left is to cover our expanses for the release such as high quality mastering, artwork & distribution) 

Last but not least, Huge shoutout to : 
- ASTUS for this incredible artwork 
- Secret Ensemble for the mastering 
- And of course, special thanks to all the artists that made APRH002 possible

HAMMER - DANCE SINCE - SSSS3

Not content with defining the sound of minimal techno in the nineties, Robert Hood has more recently fine tuned his own gospel tinged take on the genre. It comes under the Floorplan moniker, the genesis of which is said to have come to him when awakened by a late night vision. Since 2016, it has been a collaborative duo between Hood and daughter Lyric, and never fails to lead to religious experiences on the dance floor.

With roots in the Detroit techno scene in which Hood first emerged, Floorplan’s sound is embellished with the heartfelt emotions and unbridled passions of Chicago house music. It is heavy and analogue and filled with vigour thanks to the expert drum programming and ever rising sense of euphoria that comes from the well sculpted synths. But it also speaks to the heart and soul and has done since first standout cut ‘We Magnify His Name.’ The pair’s endless quest for the perfect groove continued through albums like 2013’s Paradise - which spawned anthemic singles like ‘Let’s Ride, ‘Baby Baby’ and the massive ‘Never Grow Old’ - and 2016’s Victorious.

The same year saw Hood’s daughter Lyric officially become part of the project. Since then they have taken Floorplan to endless headline shows at high profile clubs and festivals everywhere from New York City to Ibiza, London to Amsterdam. Their electric sets leave crowds feeling uplifted, spiritually awakening and totally in awe. Part of the success of Floorplan is the combination of Robert’s old school excellence and Lyric’s new school innovation: their music, with its big chords and even bigger vocal samples, could be 30 years old or fresh from the pressing plant, such is its universal sense of appeal.

Another new album is due on Aus Music in winter 2019 and once again distills the power of techno and feelings of house music with a certain sense of studio magic that emerges when this iconic father-daughter duo come together. It is rare to make music as stripped back yet emotionally enriched as Floorplan, but this pair do it with ease and a firm focus on durable grooves. Functional but full of form, tense but atmospheric, loopy but ever evolving, Floorplan truly transcend the dance music spectrum.
