this week. Here is Rob Hood's bio....

Biography
Robert Hood makes minimal Detroit techno with an emphasis on soul and experimentation over flash and popularity. Having recorded for Metroplex, as well as the Austrian Cheap label and Jeff Mills' Axis label, Hood also owns and operates the M-Plant imprint, through which he's released the bulk of his solo material. As part of the original UR line up 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-inch Eps. He began to concentrate on his own production 'Vision EP', the 'Riot EP' and X-103 were big stepping-stones for him as they were the first releases he worked 100% on his own. The X-101 to X-102, were Waveform Transmission projects with Mills for Tresor. He slowly progressed to work more and more on his own, but collaborated on some of the first Axis releases with label owner Jeff Mills as H&M (Hood & Mills) with "Tranquilizer EP" and "Drama".
He soon decided it was time for him to start his own label to focus on what was in his soul musically.and set up M-Plant in 1994 releasing singles such as "Internal Empire,", "The Protein Valve" "Music Data," and "Moveable Parts. "M-Plant is what I've always wanted to hear: the basic stripped down, raw sound. Just drums, basslines and funky grooves and only what's essential. Only what is essential to make people move. I started to look at it as a science, the art of making people move their butts, speaking to their heart, mind and soul. "It's a heart-felt rhythmic techno sound. M-Plant is just M. minimal."
Although his desire to remain underground has been replaced by an urge to reach a wider audience, Hood remains fiercely critical of artistic and economic movements destructive to inner-city communities and has combined his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. With this in mind the seminal "Nighttime World Pt.1" in 1995 and "Nighttime World Pt.2" in 2000 incorporating Jazz, Soul, Hip Hop as well as Techno and House.
I'm surprised that there are not more people commenting on this worldwide premiere and exclusive performance by this legend.
Let's hear it people. C'mon. Don't make me think you only need Berlin resident guests coming through Compression to be excited. :P

both are amazing. But Hood is an innovator. It doesn't get better than that unless I bring back Hawtin, May, Saunderson, or Juan Atkins.
Or nab Jeff Mills at some point (which is an inevitability...)
rob.
No Mills he always disappoints. I honestly never heard of Hood but I'm still excited.
