We decided to speak to the man to get a better idea of what helped create his sound that ended up influencing so many… you might be a little surprised at the results.
——————————————————————————————————————-
BLEEP: To what extent did growing up in Detroit influence your music?
RH: I’m a product of the civil rights movement, so I grew up on the politically charged sounds of Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye, the Motown sound. Certain DJ’s like The Electrifying Mojo, Martha Jean “The Queen” & the Big Soul Rocker (Claude Young’s father) shape my musical perception.
——————————————————————————————————————-
BLEEP: How did you become, alongside Mike Banks and Jeff Mills, part of Underground Resistance?
RH: I met Mike Banks through Mike ‘Agent X’ Clark. I played him a demo and he liked the drum programming particularly. Soon after I met Jeff Mills. I became part of UR as ‘The Vision’ in the form of MC / Artist.
——————————————————————————————————————-
BLEEP: After listening to ‘Nighttime World Vol. 1′ and ‘All Day Long’, one can here a ‘jazz’ element to these records. What kind of music influences the Robert Hood sound?
RH: Roy Ayers, Donald Byrd, Jean Luc-Ponty, Hiroshima, Wu-Tang Clan, A Tribe Called Quest, Human League, Chic, Fishbone, Heaven 17, to name a few.
——————————————————————————————————————-
BLEEP: As a pioneer of ‘minimal’ techno, was your sound born from limited studio equipment or a reaction to the sound of the time?
RH: I never felt it was necessary to have a lot of equipment. I’ve always believed it’s not what you have but how you use it.
——————————————————————————————————————-
BLEEP: Which other producers, past and present, do you have admiration for?
RH: J-Dilla (Rest In Peace)
——————————————————————————————————————-
BLEEP: How do you feel about the genre of ‘minimal’ techno as it is now?
RH: A lot of so called minimalist artists are jumping on the minimal bandwagon for the sake of being minimal. What’s lacking a lot of the time is the feeling, or the emotion.We hear a lot of slick production but not a lot of passion.
