As it began forming, Robert Hood found his place as the "Minister of Information," and became an essential part of the UR movement. After the X102 project, Robert Hood and Jeff Mills moved to New York in '92 to branch off to do work on the Axis label - NYC became the home of their brilliant H&M productions. Robert™s own ground-shattering ˜Minimal Nation™ LP (on Axis) hit the electronic music world with unprecedented explosion in 1994  it is credited today as a turning point for techno.
