#4 Feat. New Releases in House

The globally revered house and techno project Floorplan continue to build their relationship with Classic with explosive club release, 'What A Friend'. Following the success of previous releases on Luke Solomon's imprint, like UK radio favourite 'We Give Thee Honor' or esoteric club track 'Like Dat', Robert and Lyric Hood continue to dominate both festival and club stages globally, including Brunch Elektronik in Barcelona, The Warehouse Project in Manchester and Igloofest in Montreal. 'What A Friend' utilises chopped vocal samples to maximum effect, dispersed brazenly over hard four-on-the-floor beats, creating club music that is sonically arresting, rhythmically enthralling and bursting with the attitude expected from Detroit's legendary club scene.

#49 Feat. New Releases in Deep House

Tom Kerridge's celebrated Girls of the Internet collective returns to Classic with the label's first ever garage release 'Gravity', featuring vocals from Glasgow's ALLKNIGHT. The success of previous singles on Luke Solomon's label, 'Affirmations', written by Sophie Faith, and 'Never Ever Ever', featuring Irish singer-songwriter shiv, cemented the group as authorities in the realm of soulful dance music; one that fits the label's sound perfectly. The year has already been busy for the group, who in March revealed a remix of legendary producer Moby's 'You & Me' with Anfisa Letyago and sold out a show at The Jazz Café in London. Now unveiling latest single 'Gravity' featuring Glaswegian dance vocalist ALLKNIGHT, an artist who has garnered millions of streams across collaborations with rising electronic producers. 'Gravity' showcases the upbeat side of the collective's signature sound; an eclectic amalgamation of Tom's love of jazz chords and boogie basslines create an electrifying track, underpinned with a UKG beat and spotlighting ALLKNIGHT's ethereal vocals floating atop.

Robert & Lyric Hood's globally revered house and techno project, Floorplan, return to Luke Solomon's Classic imprint with 'Like Dat'. As an early member of Detroit's Underground Resistance, Robert Hood understands what it is to be the vanguard of a genre, now celebrating his faith through gospel inspired dance music with his daughter Lyric Hood. Together as Floorplan, the pair have built a strong relationship with Classic over the years, earning the respect of tastemakers like Seth Troxler, Dan Shake, TSHA and Jamie Jones thanks to their unmistakable gospel house and techno sound. Recent releases like UK radio favourite 'We Give Thee Honor / Makes Me Wanna' and underground cuts 'The Curse Breaker / What You Need' further proved Floorplan's willingness to show their full talent at every turn. Now they continue this trend with 'Like Dat', a rolling house release built for the long club nights, accented by esoteric percussive sections and vocal stabs that cut through with ease.
