Not content with defining the sound of minimal techno in the nineties, Robert Hood has more recently fine0tuned 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 dancefloor. 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 analog and filled with vigor 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 (MPM 016CD/LP) -- which spawned anthemic singles like "Let's Ride", "Baby Baby", and the massive "Never Grow Old" -- and 2016's Victorious (MPM 028CD/LP). 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. 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. Features Carol Otis.

2020 repress. Cinthie joins the roster of Aus Music with Trust, comprising three original cuts from the Berlin artist. Recent months have seen Cinthie build her own studio and dedicate her time to carefully crafting music. Trust is a product of this time spent and marks the next phase. "Trust" is fuelled by an infectious marimba-style percussive melody, bright tension-building strings and a bumpy bass hook. "Lost At Sea" employs a loosely-flowing organic drum groove, jazzy Rhodes chords and resonant moog style synth licks, while "Hip Swing" closes with up-tempo drums at the forefront whilst murky bass reverberations flow in the depths.

Bugs is Aus Music label owner Will Saul's first solo EP since 2014 and follows his inaugural release on new Aus Music compilation series, Inside Out. Here's Will: "'Bugs' is inspired as much by dancing at Plastic People/Co-Op to the Bugz In The Attic as is it is by Carl Craig's Innerzone Orchestra track 'Bugs In The Bass Bin'. Hopefully I bring my own twist to these key influences... 'The Map Room' tumbles with big, swinging drums as a fervid sense of tension burns throughout before Matt Karmill takes 'Bugs' off on a linear dubbed-out excursion..."

EP#2 carries forth much of the same classiness Tee Mango's well known for. "Come A Little Closer" samples "Make It Last Forever" by Inner Life which is paired with playful drum rhythms and smooth Rhodes chords. Prototypical opts for punchy drums and a swinging bass, a track that would work as well peak-time as it would warming up. "Wazoo" is a deep cruiser with a pinch of acid.

Marquis Hawkes presents two takes on one concept. "Part 1" takes his amalgam of disco and house to its logical conclusion, perfectly walking the tightrope between joyous abandon and classy depth, and giving DJs the perfect weapon for all floors, from sweaty basements to much bigger venue. "Part 2" then flips the program with the same raw materials and sets up the perfect shot, directed at a big-room house-techno crossover and building on the foundations laid by the Detroit techno originators by infusing contemporary production values and a more modern twist.

Fallen Down EP is the second EP from Tee Mango and Will Saul's Primitive Trust project, featuring a remix by Shanti Celeste. The title track weaves percussive shuffles and vocal refrains with glowing synths, whilst colorful melodic layers and resonating vocal stabs armor the choppy live drums of "Day One". Dekmantel regular Shanti Celeste does what she does best with her remix of "Fallen Down" in building a rich, hypnotic groove that steadily develops with intricacy and depth, whilst "Big Tracky Disco Tool" is exactly that.
