For all his rep as the godfather of minimal, Robert Hood has always drawn from soul, funk and devotional music in his work – check his eclectic, long-running Nighttime World series for proof. Floorplan, though, is an outlet for musclier house that sees Hood throw caution to the wind. Where his classic work is taut and controlled, his work with Floorplan is often brash and exuberant, all saturated colours and good-time thump. After almost two decades of Floorplan releases, Hood has finally found the time to release a full-length under the alias. Issued on his own M-Plant label, Paradise combined classic older tracks with new material, and made for a set of turbocharged house music with gospel flourishes.

Last time he sat down for a FACT session in 2010, he turned out a spartan live set with nods to Ben Klock and Mark Williams. His Floorplan mix, however, is a very different beast. The come-hither patter that opens the mix isn’t a bum steer – Hood’s offering is a jackhammer house session with a powerful sensual streak. Scrambled disco, pianola house and some seriously deep business help make FACT mix 400 one the most enjoyable house sessions in recent memory.
