- The Detroit veteran's side project will put out a full-length in July.
Robert Hood will release his first album as Floorplan, Paradise, on July 1st.
As with most previous Floorplan records, Paradise will see release through Hood's own M-Plant label. The album includes a number of previously released cuts, such as "Baby Baby" and "Let's Ride," alongside new tracks like "Above The Clouds" and "Change," with a press releasing suggesting it contains all the hallmarks of Floorplan material—house, funk, soul, gospel and a hint of techno. It's his fourth full-length release in four years, following 2010's Omega, 2011's Omega:Alive and last year's Motor: Nighttime World 3.
Though Hood will forever be synonymous with tough, minimal Detroit techno, the Floorplan alias has long given him the opportunity to explore a funkier side. The side project was initially active from 1996 through 2002, before being put on hiatus. It then re-emerged in 2010 with the Rush Hour reissue of the first Floorplan EP, Funky Souls, and the Living It Up 12-inch. Since then there have been two more singles, Sanctified and Altered Ego, released in 2011 and 2012.
