    As one of the founding members of the legendary Detroit techno crew Underground Resistance - alongside Mad Mike Banks and Jeff Mills - Robert Hood’s legacy in the electronic music world is almost peerless. As well as pioneering the minimal techno sound with his 1994 LP Minimal Nation, he’s released on techno mainstays such as Metroplex and Jeff Mills’ Axis label, set up the Hardwax label and operates seminal techno label M-Plant - through which he’s released dozens of his own records, under his own name and as Floorplan. 2013’s Paradise LP as Floorplan was a volt-face in Hood’s musical story; the soulfulness of his minimal sound given new, hot-blooded life. It's this new life that keeps him a key figure in techno today.

      Exactly my sentiment, yes, sure humans get emotional, but not all have the courage, and at this point in time, the sensitivity to do so. And sensitivity, have everything to do with Art, sorry. So i double your comment, bro. RESPECT

    I always love watching these RBMA lectures - This one with Robert was s o intense besides that it`s the first time i`m hearing him speak. The moment he got emotional really had me getting into the same situation as i could feel every word he explained - Now i have even more respect for this guy as he appears more credible to me in his music - Thanks alot for sharing this!

    He talks about sparseness and empty space and equates it with feeling the holy ghost. I think that speaks to the importance of leaving headroom and breathing room in between tracks. Gotta leave room for the holy ghost. :)

    @NextSound170 4 роки тому +7

    When you can connect with your productions and the aspect of it, spiritually, as many brothers who created the sounds do and still do. Thats where it becomes ever lasting. From Hood to Todd Edwards. There's a process to making good music and its not copying others but finding an angle of creativity. If you're not able to do that with music, leave it well alone. Leave it to us who know how this works

  • @basehead617
    @basehead617 7 років тому +12

    I've always felt like Hood was a talented producer, but I feel like his place in history and his eloquence in discussing that place and discussing the music are more interesting than the actual music itself. I feel the same way about Jeff Mills. I like both, but they're deeper as humans than they are as musicians.

    I respect Hood's honesty and frankness when talking about religion, it obviously means a lot to him and is fused with the music and helps it flow... but, speaking as an atheist I worry about learning certain things about artists as then my mind races to 'well, what do they think about gay marriage? Do they think trans people need to be 'saved'? What are their thoughts on abortion? Etc etc... ' and I don't want to jump to conclusions or think about these things in the first place about an artist, I just want to feel the presence of the art. To love the music (which I do).
