{"title":"Robert Hood","description":"\u003cp\u003eRobert Hood makes minimal Detroit techno with an emphasis on soul and experimentation over flash and popularity. Having recorded for [l=Metroplex], as well as the Austrian [l=Cheap] label and [a=Jeff Mills]' [l=Axis] label. Hood started [l=Hardwax] in 1991 (Robert Hood's first label prior to forming M-Plant) and also owns and operates the [l=M-Plant] imprint (including the two sublabels Drama and Duet) through which he has released the bulk of his solo material. Hood was a founding member, along with Jeff Mills and Mike Banks, of the [l=Underground Resistance] label, whose influential releases throughout the early and mid '90s helped change the face of modern Detroit techno and sparked a creative renaissance. Infusing elements of acid and industrial into a potent blend of Chicago house and Detroit techno, UR's aesthetic project and militant business philosophy were (and remain) singular commitments in underground techno. Hood left Detroit (and UR) with Jeff Mills in 1992, setting up shop in New York and recording a series of 12\" EPs. Through the mid '90s, Hood has focused on his solo work, setting up M-Plant in 1994 and releasing singles such as \"Internal Empire\", \"Music Data\" and \"Moveable Parts\". Although his desire to remain underground has been replaced by an urge to reach a wider audience, Hood remains fiercely critical of artistic and economic movements destructive to inner-city communities and has combined his musical enterprises with outreach and social activist ends. His debut Peacefrog album \"Point Blank\" took Hood's hypnotic minimalism to entirely new depths and territories, whilst his latest album \"Wire To Wire\" takes his productions onto new levels of musicality and sophistication within the world of electronic music.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"master-builder","title":"Master Builder","description":"\u003cp\u003eAlmost thirty years after its initial release, Tresor Records is proud to present a new pressing of Robert Hood’s essential \u003ci\u003eMaster Builder\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe ongoing importance of this single and its adjacent album is indisputable, essential both to techno and to Tresor.
