The Blueprint EP by Robert Hood

Following 2020's "Mirror Man LP" on Radio Slave's Rekids, Detroit pioneer Robert Hood returns to the label with a four-track EP of his trailblazing minimal techno. Leading the release, "Chroma Light" opens with cinematic pads and pounding 4/4 patterns as twisted synthesis modulates throughout for a striking start. Followed by "The Majestic (Deeper Edit)", with rattling percussion and fiercely relentless stabs, Hood shows his intent in creating propulsive, dancefloor focussed cuts across the EP.

On the flip, "The Majestic" takes the B1 spot, expanding on the previous track with wild synths and his signature machine-like drums before "Ultrasonic Room" closes out the release with eerie atmospherics and an underlying hypnotic pulse-taking center stage.

A founding member of Underground Resistance alongside Mad Mike Banks and Jeff Mills, Robert Hood is one of techno's originators, with his decorated career spanning three decades across labels like Tresor, Peacefrog, Music Man Records, and of course, his own M-Plant.
