His Eye Is On The Sparrow by Lauryn Hill and  Co

You Better (12  Edit)

Just a little thing I've been playing on the keyboards, so I thought I'd put a beat to it and stick it up here for you guys. Some mellow strings and chords too. (Just for those that may ask, original by Sigur Ros and Chicane also done a wicked mix of this too.)

I’m holding on
To many things past
To anything that’s 
Gonna change my memories back

I’m holding on
To everyone good
To everything that’s
Ever been the way that it should

I’m holding on
To things you said
Before you forgot what
This love really meant to you
The words that I sent to you
Never got into you
No matter how hard I tried

Coming in strong with an update on another classic track, Glitterbox Recordings presents Krystal Davis ‘So Smooth’ featuring remixes from Kon and Yam Who? alongside the 12” original and instrumental. One of the last in a rare breed of dedicated crate-diggers, Kon’s vast knowledge of the heavily swung rhythms of classic disco make him a reverent remixer for this mid-tempo Krystal Davis disco hit, originally released in 1985 on New York label Urban Rock Records Inc. His version amps up the pace, tailoring the record for any discerning contemporary disco set. Midnight Riot Records head Yam Who? goes blissed out with the synths for an irresistible mix that’s smoother than smooth. The release is rounded off with the original 12” version and instrumental.

09 - Song Like This

Floorplan are debuting on @ausmusic next month with a brand new 10-track album called 'Supernatural', featuring the appropriately named 'Fiyaaaa!'. An opening of kicks and chords steadily builds to an incendiary crescendo of anthemic vocal cuts, distorted synths and syncopated rhythms. The Hoods never miss.

'Supernatural' is out November 8, pre-order it here: https://ausmusic.bandcamp.com/album/supernatural

House pioneer Mike Dunn makes his Glitterbox Recordings debut with ‘Natural High’, a bumping dose of vintage Chicago goodness. Featuring his unmistakable Windy City drawl, the release sees Mike flex his musical muscles, using traditional analogue techniques to produce this stripped-back disco-house jam. From deep stroboscopic acid to groovy US garage, Mike can navigate seamlessly between genres while maintaining his signature flare, so takes to producing this Glitterbox dancefloor cut with natural ease. Already a favourite of head-honcho Simon Dunmore, expect this to become a future classic from the label’s catalogue of timeless dance gems.

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.
