Robert Hood on Underground Resistance, Minimal Nation and Hi-Hats | Red Bull Music Academy

[@TheTomchance]

I think we can all agree this guy is probably the best person in the world

[@eliasimos]

Well said Tom

[@fredericksirucka4529]

My favorite American techno producer and I still remember the last time I had the privilege of hearing at a Victorian event where he djayed back when records were still the main techno format Fred(eee)ricK and he loves and me too Franky knuckles the whistle house track r.i.p. FreD(E)RicK 2022...

[@juancarlosrodriguez1865]

Love it

[@ps2console]

Wow, the way he got emotional at 17:30. Lots of respect for that guy.

[@charithaheshan1048]

Humans get emotional its the nature. It doesnt have anything to do with his music. Fucking moron

[@deathbyjock]

Charitha Heshan I think he wanted to write "LOTS of respect ..."

[@charithaheshan1048]

deathbyjock oh I'm sorry lol now I'm an asshole . thanks

[@ps2console]

Charitha Heshan that's exactly what I wanted to write. I didn't even notice my typo, so I didn't understand why would you respond like that. haha

[@GV_777YT]

Exactly my sentiment, yes, sure humans get emotional, but not all have the courage, and at this point in time, the sensitivity to do so. And sensitivity, have everything to do with Art, sorry. So i double your comment, bro. RESPECT

[@gkhan2973]

''Not make everybody in the club go crazy but to have that one guy back in the room to lose it'' - yep that was me in Atak:)

[@modularoutput]

I was lucky enough to live right right across from Detroit my whole life. Now at 43, everytime I turn the modular on, I find myself trying to emulate the Robert Hood sound. 💪💪💪💪💪

[@devmiles]

A very deep, honest and profound lecture. Robert truly is an amazing person and artist, always been.

[@themartinezbrothers]

Robert Hood is a pure 100% BOSS

[@arunasgrigaliunas8676]

[@fredericksirucka4529]

AGREEE Fred(e)ricK

[@stephencastledine6800]

[@housebrigade]

how did u work with him?

[@AureliennnProust]

17:30 here's why techno is beautiful

[@NF-xy6br]

such a sincere, honest and genuine man! The biggest dude of them all!!!!

[@thingsss]

Fick Nitz amazing interview, I might start going to church ;-)

[@thingsss]

Check out the Tony Humphries lecture (still on a church tip!)

[@NF-xy6br]

i will do mate

[@Cl4rendon]

I always love watching these RBMA lectures - This one with Robert was s o intense besides that it`s the first time i`m hearing him speak. The moment he got emotional really had me getting into the same situation as i could feel every word he explained - Now i have even more respect for this guy as he appears more credible to me in his music - Thanks alot for sharing this!

[@Steve_643]

Rob is the OG of minimal techno

[@abuqadimhaqq]

Big respect to Robert Hood for mentioning my name with respect and good memories.

[@dcashley303]

Much love for you Haqq 🙏

[@fitzjay01]

absolute legend of the highest order....

[@mixit313]

That’s one genuine Detroit Homie! God Bless you Mane!

[@tahoka9303]

My dog is called socks . He keeps himself clean. Bless you Mr Hood . Thanks for the music ❤

[@randevnasty2990]

never knew Robert had a hip-hop history, what a G indeed!

[@cheeseandcrack]

randev nasty more surprising is that matrixxman began in hip hop

[@randevnasty2990]

that's cool man! i've always though hip-hop and techno have a lot in common

[@oliviamustain270]

He talks about sparseness and empty space and equates it with feeling the holy ghost. I think that speaks to the importance of leaving headroom and breathing room in between tracks. Gotta leave room for the holy ghost. :)

[@naturligfunktion4232]

These lectures are really great. I’ve seen most of them multiple times because they are just great!

[@fnatist]

Funny to see the interviewer's face when Robert starts his talks about God and the Holy Spirit :)

[@GV_777YT]

exactly my thought ! hahaha

[@warehouse-rave]

i might believe in God too if i survived a bullet to the head

[@charlesandrewmoore8699]

much much love for this man and the depth of his feelings made manifest in his work. a singular gift he is!

[@owenthesoyboy]

Wow such a very wide ranging and terrific interview with much about his music, roots, personal experiences and more, with some specific bits that are really interesting to a techno head from the early 90's. this is great

[@0713dm]

Robert, Mike, and Jeff... wow... that X-101 track gets me every time. Can't wait for the OG vinyl to arrive in the mail. I recently got UR "Revolution for Change" 2xLP, but only received one LP! Now I gotta search for the other one! Sheesh! Thank these guys for enlightening my musical vision. Every time I plug in my machines, it is informed by the work of these men. Absolutely love it.

[@fredericksirucka4529]

AgrEEe'e

[@danielelston7457]

He’s a true genius and pioneer of electronic music

[@crvmnty8360]

41:20 .. Magic : "The church to the club" mood.

[@theboogie_monsta]

His first track from back in the day is really good. You can hear a lot of his style in there.

[@dennisgenovese227]

RESPECT TO ROBERT HOOD ✊✊✊✊✊✊✊✊✊✊✊

[@fredericksirucka4529]

[@kerrie6288]

Long live king Rob !

[@ceropulse]

Such a pleasure to watch this, cleverly conducted. Deep inspiration to search on Robert Hood´s methods. Thanks for the upload!

[@holotropik]

A very interesting interview. Not what I expected. Thanks ;-)

[@NextSound170]

When you can connect with your productions and the aspect of it, spiritually, as many brothers who created the sounds do and still do. Thats where it becomes ever lasting. From Hood to Todd Edwards. There's a process to making good music and its not copying others but finding an angle of creativity. If you're not able to do that with music, leave it well alone. Leave it to us who know how this works

[@Uttarayan]

hiphop, techno, brothers, sisters

[@felipe.pint00]

Robert hood is amazing, the minimal king!!!!

[@the_fifth_wheel]

UR and affiliates described as “Sonic Terrorists” by Mr Hood, perfectly articulated.

[@Dustytombs]

robert hood real as fuck. So much respect

[@porqueundiaesundia.6609]

Hood seems like a nice guy

[@josef2012]

Rob must be protected at all costs!

[@porqueundiaesundia.6609]

I was in a party in 2002 ( i think) in Madrid, in Festimad at night, both with Luke Slater and what a party, was good.

[@fredericksirucka4529]

The best and still produces the best techno AGREE from FRED(e)rick

[@joshuapierre4948]

Gang starr in the house! Rip guru big up preemo!!

[@pablos.1101]

the real boss

[@NextSound170]

Now is a good time to converse with these producers seeing as there is no club to rave in. Time to take these guys at their least busiest

[@basehead617]

I've always felt like Hood was a talented producer, but I feel like his place in history and his eloquence in discussing that place and discussing the music are more interesting than the actual music itself. I feel the same way about Jeff Mills. I like both, but they're deeper as humans than they are as musicians.

[@T.M.Warren-qp2gq]

bh617 -We’ll peeped!

[@NextSound170]

The music is a reflection of themselves. A good point but to listen keenly would be the purpose of these two tbh

[@luxwutang]

i love this.

[@theboogie_monsta]

54:57 - on communicating without words in techno.

[@djbrucelee_barcelona]

what is the id for the first track ?

[@djbrucelee_barcelona]

ok, I find it. Robert Noise - Sins Against The Race (1990)

[@dcashley303]

I respect Hood's honesty and frankness when talking about religion, it obviously means a lot to him and is fused with the music and helps it flow... but, speaking as an atheist I worry about learning certain things about artists as then my mind races to 'well, what do they think about gay marriage? Do they think trans people need to be 'saved'? What are their thoughts on abortion? Etc etc... ' and I don't want to jump to conclusions or think about these things in the first place about an artist, I just want to feel the presence of the art. To love the music (which I do).

[@kukuruku791]

(01:10:10 ) Q & A: questions only by participants? WTF? suggar-coffein-bubble-bath-soda-elitism?

[@Huumf]
