Dubbed 'The Math Assassin' for his scientific approach to composition, Robert Hood became known during the 90s through his releases for Detroit label Hardwax and as a member of Underground Resistance. After his split from the legendary techno outfit he founded his own label M-Plant, defining the minimal techno style with his ground-breaking 'Minimal Nation' album. He has recorded for many of the world's leading techno labels including Metroplex, Peacefrog, Cheap Records and Tresor with his most recent outings - the 'Hoodmusic' series - appearing on Music Man.
