Catalogue : M-Plant / MPM35
Format : EP, Gold Vinyl
Condition : New
Country : Belgium
Released : 2020
Genre : Techno
Floorplan, the father-daughter duo of Robert and Lyric Hood. The sampling across The Struggle / Save The Children, and the two Floorplan tracks in particular, is a masterstroke. It is fitting that original Underground Resistance member Robert Hood should take on such profound sources. Tamika Mallory's words on Hood's 'The Struggle' are lifted from her Minneapolis speech in May this year which went viral amidst the Black Lives Matter protests. The vocals deployed by Robert and Lyric Hood as Floorplan on 'Save The Children' are cut from Stan Lathan's 1973 documentary of the same name, which features a ready-to-use collage of speakers from a historic concert at Jesse Jackson's PUSH expo. Over five days and nights, the most important voices in Black music, politics and culture at the time brought one million people together in Chicago to celebrate Black art and unity.
