Hood, Robert – “Internal Empire” – [Tresor]

Robert Hood was a major player in the Detroit techno scene and was a founding member of the Underground Resistance label before moving to NYC and founding M-Plant with Jeff Mills. This was released in ’94 during what some might consider to be the height of the rave era. That combined with this being a Tresor release guarantees that you will find some hard pounding beats. This has a bit of a “vintage” sound but like most techno, it stands the test of time and can still be considered fresh in the right context. Its fun, its nostalgic but most importantly it is very well crafted and has unique qualities that make this very enjoyable.
