DESCRIPTION:
2x12" Techno LP Form Robert Hood Alter EgoYou might think that Robert Hood is an artist who is content with the successes he's achieved, but this is not a man who easily rests on his laurels so after a long-time in the planning he is set to regenerate his much-loved Monobox alias with a new album this November. The idea for Robert is that this vessel has been lying dormant for 40 or 50 years and is now beginning to rise up again, or regenerate. Techno minimalism, but from an alien futuristic perspective.
Robert Hood continues his early-2020s winning streak with a new surprise LP, unearthing 7 new tracks from his vault. From 'Rise' to 'Regenerate', we're clear on a nascent theme of rejuvenation with this LP, perhaps most expressly represented by his new alias for the album, Monobox, which also saw to the very fresh 'Forwardbase Kodai' EP last year. Now Hood fleshes out his "alien project" further; the techno here is watery and reminiscent of the well-rounded Birmingham sound, with sound effects swinging and sloshing around the mix like extraterrestrial tentacles in a vat.

Last FM Information on Monobox

Monobox is Robert Hood. 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 label Cheap, the French label Logistic 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. Hood was a founding member, along with Jeff Mills and Mike Banks, of the Underground Resistance label, 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 . Through the mid '90s, Hood has focused on his solo work, setting up M-Plant in 1994 and releasing singles such as "Internal Empire," "Music Data," and "Moveable Parts." Although his desire to remain underground has been replaced by an urge to reach a wider audience, Hood remains fiercely critical of artistic and economic movements destructive to inner-city communities and has combined his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. His debut album “Wire to Wire“ took Hood's hypnotic minimalism to entirely new depths and territories, whilst his latest album 'Molecule' under the nickname Monobox released on Logistic takes his productions onto new levels of musicality and sophistication within the world of electronic music.
