fabric presents Floorplan (Mixed)

When Robert and Lyric Hood command a room, the resulting set feels less like a standard club rotation and more like a spiritual invocation. Dedicated to Robert's late wife, Eunice Thompson-Hood, fabric presents Floorplan transforms personal grief into a "worthy and joyful elegy" that bridges the sacred and the secular. By trading tracks with the intuitive fluidity that "only a father-daughter pairing can", the Detroit duo steers the iconic mix series into an exercise in intensely physical worship.

The recording thrives on the friction between barebones techno pressure and overwhelming vocal euphoria. Critics note that the tracklist "fires between church, warehouse, and Motor City muscle", building an hour of unrelenting "jackin' house urgency". From the "stark preacher-shouty 4/4 crunch" of the duo's exclusive original track "Only God" to a host of rapturous, soul-drenched selections, the Hoods map out an environment where "gospel lift, rolling house, and that sharp Detroit swing" seamlessly intersect. Moving with raw momentum, it is a fiercely directed session that remains "ripe for dancefloors whatever one's spirituality".
