Deepsounds – Tribute to Robert Hood / Pt. 1
“Before I got into this music I wanted to be an originator; I wanted to be original. I wanted to keep true to the sound of the original Detroit people at the same time, but I knew I couldn’t be like Derrick May or Juan Atkins. I have to be Robert Hood. I had to look inside myself and say ‘What do you like, what do you want to hear ?’ What I’ve always wanted to hear: the basic stripped down, raw sound. Just drums, basslines and funky grooves and only what’s essential. Only what is essential to make people move.
I started to look at it as a science, the art of making people move their butts, speaking to their heart, mind and soul. That’s the only thing I focussed on and that’s M-Plant. It’s the M-Plant in every person’s mind that is speaking through your heart, through your soul and is making you dance in the process. To me rave was just samples. True techno, the true sound of it is a science.” - Robert Hood
