Robert Hood has announced a new Floorplan album made with his daughter, Lyric Hood.
The second album from the Detroit producer’s more flamboyant, gospel-tinged house alias is titled Victorious, and features several tracks co-produced by Lyric Hood, as RA reports.
Victorious is out on June 10 on Hood’s M-Plant label, with a 12-inch of Music due to appear on April 29. Check out a preview below – it appears to have anthem written all over it.
Mike Silver, the musician known as CFCF, was shaken awake by his girlfriend in December to receive surprising news: He had been nominated for a Grammy. Specifically, he was up for best remixed recording, for his version of Max Richter’s violin composition “Berlin by Overnight,” performed by Daniel Hope on his album “Spheres.” “Basically everyone knew before I did, and I was flabbergasted,” Mr. Silver said—the nomination prompted a feature in the New York Times.

The 120 minute excursion is a progression of brooding down-tempo beats and wall clashing warehouse tracks. Featuring artists like Pan-Pot, Victor Ruiz, Mark Romboy and self-made originals, Bodzin holds nothing back in this representation of his signature style.
Hailing from Bremen, Stephan started his musical journey as a composer for a number of well-known European theaters. Soon after developing an immense infatuation with the underground nightlife scene, Stephan started creating is own flavor of techno and has since become one of the most influential characters in the genre’s development. His most recent release, ‘Powers of Ten’ was released through Bodzin’s own label, Herzblut Recordings.
Ground (Jeroen Uyttendaele) is an audiovisual performance in which graphite drawings are used as control interface for several electronic instruments. Graphite is a conductor for electricity. By using it as a variable resistor (instead of a standard knob) the pitch, amplitude and sound color of sound generators can be controlled. In this way Ground offers a field of possibilities in which auditive and visual elements are interconnected. Drawing, erasing, touching and slowly or rapidly (re)positioning the instruments on the drawing have a direct auditive result. Live electronic music becomes an explicitly tangible and open practice.

Perc joins Stroboscopic Artefacts for some of his most abstract industrial noise to date.
The techno heavyweight arrives on Lucy’s label on February 12 with Ma, a three-tracker that sees him venture into ever more spacious territory.
‘Death of Rebirth’ and ‘Negative Space’ on the A-side are more club-ready, incorporating glassy piano and gamelan-like sounds over his beefy 4/4 bedrock, while the side-long title track sounds like his taken his bag of tools to a prepared piano and an alley full of bins, in the best way possible. Check out the previews below.
Perc recently delivered an ominous remix of Stroboscopic artist Chevel and teamed up with Danny Passarella for an EP inspired by David Cronenberg’s Videodrome, and before that he had the general election blues on his own Gob EP.
Don’t be fooled by the name, Clouds are about as rough and spiky as it gets.
Well, that’s it. Here we have the penultimate off-the-beaten-path trip of 2015. And quite frankly it’s the best one ever. Really. It’s difficult to put into words, but ‘epic’ and ‘surprise!’ should do it. We don’t want to spoil it, you see.
For those who don’t know, Clouds are Calum Macleod and Liam Robertson, Turbo’s enfant terribles–in the best possible way. You’re going to be hearing a lot more about them from us. But all in good time. For now get your teeth around what we’re unequivocal dubbing Electric Deluxe’s best mix of the year.
Electric Deluxe will release Timeslip Roadmender on February 5th, 2016.
