The new record marks the first time both of Hood’s dancefloor personalities have appeared on one release.

Techno originator Robert Hood has announced a new double header, due to arrive on the EPM Music imprint next month. The 12″ collects one track from Robert Hood and another from his Floorplan guise.

The A-side is reserved for Hood’s ‘Shaker’, an immersive, pulsating number crafted in Hood’s signature streamlined style. As the press release notes, nothing is superfluous here.

On the flip of the double A-side release is Floorplan’s ‘Ritual’, a shuffling, Chicago-indebted track with an expertly-paced build-up. Centred upon yet another hypnotic bassline, ‘Ritual’ is unmistakably Hood.

‘Shaker’ / ‘Ritual’ will be released on 20 April via EPM Music. You can preview both tracks below.
