Yeah, I think it might just be the amount of balls surrounding you that does the trick.

Originally posted by david.michael Is all of Rob Hood's work similar to what you posted, or is that just all that I've heard? I'd be interested in seeing if he had something else to offer.

His style can vary quite a lot, his early stuff was like ultra minimalistic, skeleton techno, later he started to make deeper and funkier techno, although still quite minimalistic. He's interesting, at least for me, because even if his music is completely disposed of any unnecessary elements, you can still hear that specific Detroit warm sound in it, which is not the case with some other names of early minimal techno (Plastikman, Mika Vainio...).

My favourite track from him (this is like the definition of minimal techno, his most memorable track):



Something newer (you'll probably like this more, it sounds deeper, more modern and polished):



Title of this track is And Then We Planned Our Escape, it appears on already legendary Hoodmusic triology:

ah yes, i have ended a set with this.



rob hood, probably best listened to mixed.

as with anything, you're an idiot if you play only rob hood style minimal techno in a set, its power comes through its dynamic relationship with other tracks.

I'd like to see things from your point of view but I can't seem to get my head that far up my ass.

I just don't get it, I suppose. The second two were okay but nothing that I would seek out or care to listen to by any means. I think I'd rather cut my ears off than listen to Minus again. I just find it to be absolutely terrible.

Yeah, I hear ya there.

For me, the only time I'd be able to talk myself into using one of these tracks would be strictly as a DJ tool to layer over something else... and a simple one-bar loop would suffice rather than 6 - 8 minutes of that loop. (onoz gtfo laptop djs)

The irony here is just absolutely astounding.

Originally posted by Guest Plus I dont get why all of the tracks are so fast. If he slowed down a bit I might be able to feel some semblance of a groove. But you need to get below 130 to do that

There was a time where most techno was at 135-140bpm. Now if you go over 125 it's too fast :/

People stop buying these crappy records with an ableton live loop and call it techno. This isn't techno. THIS is techno:






And this is trance:



And this is house:

Not to speak for him or anything, but having known Clovis for years I can safely say that he is fantastically well-versed in his knowledge of musical history, both in electronic music and beyond. His palette of musical interests is incredibly diverse and he knows what the fuck he is talking about.

Also, what is your obsession here? We get it. You don't like "Minimal" or new "Techno." Good for you, that's great! Honestly, it is. However, there's no need to piss and moan like a five year-old that just dropped his ice cream cone. Go listen to what you want to listen to, go produce what you want to produce, go spin what you want to spin. Nobody is sitting here forcing music down your throat. You are the one who chooses to push play.

Then again, I've said this to you a million times already, so you're just a fucking retard at this point if you haven't listened to me.
