GROOVE LA CHORD - DEEPARTURE IN TIME - REVISITED

We have the great pleasure of premiering a track from of one techno’s most instrumental figures, Robert Hood under his Monobox alias. This comes as part of Regenerate album which is due for release tomorrow on his infamous imprint, M-Plant.

Robert Hood began his Monobox alias in 1996 and has since released an album and various EP’s under the monarch. Today we premiere the track ‘Blackwater Canal’ which comes as part of his seven track album which features classic minimal grooves from the proclaimed founder of minimal techno.

Robert Hood: “Monobox was an alien project. I read this book when I was probably around 13 or 14. It was this ominous black box that came from some other universe, and it was just sort of hovering over the planet, over a cornfield somewhere.” 

For the return of Monobox, Hood has envisaged that the vessel has been lying dormant for 40 or 50 years and is now beginning to rise up again, or regenerate.

We premiere ‘Blackwater Canal’ which is minimal tribalism at it’s very finest. Polyrhythm infused percussive grooves are combined with the classic deep and pounding Robert Hood kickdrum. Soulful vocal stabs are matched with sweeping synths and pads, that are synonymous with the Detroit sound. It’s deep, banging, funky, soulful and summarises everything we love about Robert Hood.

Four Four Premiere: Monobox [Robert Hood] - Blackwater Canal

Out now on Rekids: lnk.to/REKIDS195

Responsible for some of electronic music’s most enduring classics, including the seminal ‘Higher States of Consciousness’, ‘Don’t Laugh’ and ‘How's Your Evening So Far?’, the Ovum Recordings boss and clubland luminary readies his first solo effort for Radio Slave’s Rekids this January. Turning in a standout EP featuring two tracks on the vinyl and a digital bonus, the US-based DJ/producer furthers his position as one of dance music’s most lauded acts.

Leading the release, ‘Detroit Stab’ kicks off the A-side with hypnotic stabs and rigid, pumping drums progressing into an ethereal breakdown provided by hazy, floating pads. On the flip, ‘May Minimal’ sees Wink toy with rolling FM tones, modulating automation, and glistening synths. Accompanying the 12” is the digital-only ‘May Minimal (String Free)’, which strips the B-side of the strings, offering a welcome addition to USB sticks worldwide.

Although a native of Los Angeles, it's Detroit where Esteban Adame's musical associations lay. 

It all started ten years ago when Mike Banks of legendary techno outfit Underground Resistance picked him to work on his Galaxy 2 Galaxy and Los Hermanos projects as a keyboardist, soon releasing on Subject Detroit and Carl Craig's Planet E as ICAN with Santiago Salazar.
