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.

I think we can all agree this guy is probably the best person in the world
Well said Tom
My favorite American techno producer and I still remember the last time I had the privilege of hearing at a Victorian event where he djayed back when records were still the main techno format Fred(eee)ricK and he loves and me too Franky knuckles the whistle house track r.i.p. FreD(E)RicK 2022...
Love it
I was lucky enough to live right right across from Detroit my whole life.
Now at 43, everytime I turn the modular on, I find myself trying to emulate the Robert Hood sound.
💪💪💪💪💪
''Not make everybody in the club go crazy but to have that one guy back in the room to lose it'' - yep that was me in Atak:)
Wow, the way he got emotional at 17:30. Lots of respect for that guy.
Humans get emotional its the nature. It doesnt have anything to do with his music. Fucking moron
Charitha Heshan I think he wanted to write "LOTS of respect ..."
deathbyjock oh I'm sorry lol now I'm an asshole . thanks
Charitha Heshan that's exactly what I wanted to write. I didn't even notice my typo, so I didn't understand why would you respond like that. haha
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
A very deep, honest and profound lecture. Robert truly is an amazing person and artist, always been.
Rob is the OG of minimal techno
Robert Hood is a pure 100% BOSS
👍
AGREEE Fred(e)ricK
17:30 here's why techno is beautiful
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!
such a sincere, honest and genuine man! The biggest dude of them all!!!!

That’s one genuine Detroit Homie! God Bless you Mane!
much much love for this man and the depth of his feelings made manifest in his work. a singular gift he is!
Always been amazed by Robert Hood. His presence is so strong when he talks. Huge inspiration!
Funny to see the interviewer's face when Robert starts his talks about God and the Holy Spirit :)
exactly my thought ! hahaha
i might believe in God too if i survived a bullet to the head
So much respect and love,what a beautiful person he is
Such a pleasure to watch this, cleverly conducted.
Deep inspiration to search on Robert Hood´s methods.
Thanks for the upload!
These lectures are really great. I’ve seen most of them multiple times because they are just great!
It's great to see Robert speak openly about his faith.
Wow such a very wide ranging and terrific interview with much about his music, roots, personal experiences and more, with some specific bits that are really interesting to a techno head from the early 90's. this is great
#signed
Great interviewer
never knew Robert had a hip-hop history, what a G indeed!
randev nasty more surprising is that matrixxman began in hip hop
that's cool man! i've always though hip-hop and techno have a lot in common
giving this man his flowers rn - an amazing artist, human being, father and role model.
his descriptions of techno music are second to none
FReD(e)RiCK
wow emotional lots of respect for that guy
Thank you Robert
Best DJ and Best Preacher in the world.. when he reference David and Goliath for Music Productions. a lightbulb lit on in my head!!! Brilliant Metaphor
hats off to Robert Hood!! for his true heart and beautiful soul!, man keep making spiritual music for us, we salute you!
So good to hear this !! BOSS
Respect, in the presence of an absolute legend ✊🏾
Great to see the meaning behind Never grow old....amen to that! :)
Long live king Rob !
A very interesting interview. Not what I expected. Thanks ;-)
He’s a true genius and pioneer of electronic music
major respect for this dude!!!
Robert H❤️❤️D
His first track from back in the day is really good. You can hear a lot of his style in there.
Oh man! This man is the real deal! When he played NEVER GROW OLD, am like, shit I have this gem in my ipod! I love it
hiphop, techno, brothers, sisters
What a massive g
Praise God for this man.
RESPECT TO ROBERT HOOD ✊✊✊✊✊✊✊✊✊✊✊
Yeah I second that Fred(E)ricK 2022 !!!
UR and affiliates described as “Sonic Terrorists” by Mr Hood, perfectly articulated.
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. :)
Guru number 1 for me in hiphop! agree with Robert on this one
41:20 .. Magic : "The church to the club" mood.
The "unidentified Rob Noise song" at 3:09 is 'Sins Against The Race' off 1990's 'Hype Stuff' compilation.
Thank you! Will update
Preacher Man!
Robert, Mike, and Jeff... wow... that X-101 track gets me every time. Can't wait for the OG vinyl to arrive in the mail. I recently got UR "Revolution for Change" 2xLP, but only received one LP! Now I gotta search for the other one! Sheesh! Thank these guys for enlightening my musical vision. Every time I plug in my machines, it is informed by the work of these men. Absolutely love it.
AgrEEe'e
100%%
i love this.
thx for this
Yes !
The best and still produces the best techno AGREE from FRED(e)rick
I was in a party in 2002 ( i think) in Madrid, in Festimad at night, both with Luke Slater and what a party, was good.
You really can hear Robert Hood in the The Temptations intro. Wowser!
Hood seems like a nice guy
Now is a good time to converse with these producers seeing as there is no club to rave in. Time to take these guys at their least busiest
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
the real boss
Rob must be protected at all costs!
Gang starr in the house! Rip guru big up preemo!!
he's fucking right about hi hats as well
Well deserved gold Rolex!
Favourite producer but GOD damn😂
Does anyone know the name of the book he talks about that gave him the idea for monobox?
FrEd(e)rIcK 2020 !!!
What’s the vocal line from 16:44 to 16:47?
A good Victoria DJ friend djayed in Detroit a far while ago respect Fred(e)RicK
Hello, can you enable automatic subtitles? thank!. 17:30 goosebumps :(
anyone know the name of the interviewer?
54:57 - on communicating without words in techno.

27:40 Robert Hood - One Touch - Minimal Nation
Anyone got the full video he shows him at 17:00
Where does the UR live footage come from?
Rick M - Live in N.Y circa:91/2 (On their first Lp)
its footage from a party in Vienna (Austria) in July '92. event was called Public Tranceport
High hat time stamp?
This guy at 40:51 is shazaming the shit out of that track
Wow... Tom Hanks commenting on Rob Hood. My mind is blown.
sorry have I missed something? where is this? I haven't watched the interview yet
+housebrigade
no, you've missed nothing. somewhere in this thread of comments the real Tom Hanks commented on this.
lol on Iv just seen it. 5 mins ago I even started googling "Tom hanks robert hood" thinking Tom was a fan haha
Boom bap to House to techno. Who else?
all african american music too, interesting
C.W. P.b.p 2022
what is the id for the first track ?
ok, I find it. Robert Noise - Sins Against The Race (1990)
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.
bh617 -We’ll peeped!
The music is a reflection of themselves. A good point but to listen keenly would be the purpose of these two tbh
Lovelee Robert hood's floorplan lable !!! And the track *he's worthy ** FreD(e)RicK
FReD(e))RiCK
FrEd(e)RiCk
who is the interviewer here?
No wonder why he cries, that whole scene was like new world emerging under their feet, from nothing in sight to someting in heart
Puffing Billeee PossEEe 2022
I remember hearing him at a Matt ratovich event Fred(e)ricK ***

Blowfly!!

29:35 Minimalism
where did he talk about hi hats
At the start and just before q&a.
That is a hell of a hunch back
36:02 Didn't get the name of this godfather of house music
DJ Ken Collier.
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).
If your not groovin here something wrong with you. 28:50
