Guest Chart – Robert Hood

Fri 16th September by martinghewitt

It gives us great pleasure let this next guest take responsibility for ten cutting edge electronic recommendations. After all, this is the chap who invented minimal techno, and managed to do it while retaining disco samples and a seriously funky ethic. Just listen to Tiny Dancer.

Robert Hood, whether working under his own name or a number of monikers, still commands respect from committed music heads, and grabs page space anywhere and everywhere from DJ Magazine to Wire. A thinking man’s sledgehammer-tough DJ, that he remains one of the few Detroit names not to lose his air of mystery through significant press exposure means he epitomises what it meant to be an underground legend- often heard, rarely seen. With that in mind show some respect, there’s an originator in the house.
