Robert Hood

Robert Hood (born 1965) is an American electronic music producer and DJ. He is a founding member of the group Underground Resistance as a 'Minister of Information' with Mad Mike Banks and Jeff Mills. He is often considered to be one of the founders of minimal techno. In 1994, Hood founded the minimal techno label M-Plant in Detroit.

Hood was a member of Underground Resistance, a techno collective started by Jeff Mills and former Parliament bass player 'Mad' Mike Banks. The group embraced militant, revolutionary rhetoric, and only appeared in public dressed in ski masks and black combat suits.

In 1992, Hood left Detroit and Underground Resistance with Jeff Mills to create a series of recordings both as H&M and X-103. In 1994, Hood founded minimal techno label M-Plant releasing the album Minimal Nation, which is considered the inspiration for the minimal techno genre.

Hood was awakened by a vision to incorporate gospel music with house, disco and techno. The first gospel-inspired track "We Magnify His Name" was launched under the Floorplan project. In 2016 Floorplan expanded to include Hood's daughter, Lyric Hood.

Robert Hood has released music under his own name, Monobox, Inner Sanctum, The Vision and other aliases. When recording with Jeff Mills, he used the alias H&M. Floorplan is a collaboration with his daughter Lyric Hood.
