Robert Hood (born 1965) is an American electronic music producer and DJ. He is a founding member of the group Underground Resistance as a 'Minister of Information' with Mad Mike Banks and Jeff Mills. He is often considered to be one of the founders of minimal techno.[1] In 1994, Hood founded the minimal techno label M-Plant in Detroit.[2]

Biography[edit]

Underground Resistance[edit]

Hood was a member of Underground Resistance, a techno collective started by Jeff Mills and former Parliament bass player 'Mad' Mike Banks.[3] The group embraced militant, revolutionary rhetoric, and only appeared in public dressed in ski masks and black combat suits.[4]

Solo work and independent label[edit]

In 1992, Hood left Detroit and Underground Resistance with Jeff Mills to create a series of recordings both as H&M and X-103.[5] In 1994, Hood founded minimal techno label M-Plant releasing the album Minimal Nation, which is considered the inspiration for the minimal techno genre.[6]

Gospel-era[edit]

Hood was awakened by a vision to incorporate gospel music with house, disco and techno. The first gospel-inspired track "We Magnify His Name" was launched under the Floorplan project. In 2016 Floorplan expanded to include Hood's daughter, Lyric Hood.[7][8]

Discography[edit]

Releases[edit]

Robert Hood has released music under his own name, Monobox, Inner Sanctum, The Vision and other aliases. When recording with Jeff Mills, he used the alias H&M. Floorplan is a collaboration with his daughter Lyric Hood.
