Following 2020â„¢s ËœMirror Manâ„¢ LP on Radio Slaveâ„¢s Rekids, Detroit pioneer Robert Hood returns to the label with a four-track EP of his trailblazing minimal techno. Leading the release, ËœChroma Lightâ„¢ opens with cinematic pads and pounding 4/4 patterns as twisted synthesis modulates throughout for a striking start. Followed by ËœThe Majestic (Deeper Edit)â„¢, with rattling percussion and fiercely relentless stabs, Hood shows his intent in creating propulsive, dancefloor focussed cuts across the EP. On the flip, ËœThe Majesticâ„¢ takes the B1 spot, expanding on the previous track with wild synths and his signature machine-like drums before ËœUltrasonic Roomâ„¢ closes out the release with eerie atmospherics and an underlying hypnotic pulse taking centre stage. A founding member of Underground Resistance alongside Mad Mike Banks and Jeff Mills, Robert Hood is one of technoâ„¢s originators, with his decorated career spanning three decades across labels like Tresor, Peacefrog, Music Man Records, and of course, his own M-Plant.
