va -fabric 39, mixed by robert hood

best detroit techno mix i've heard in an age. very highly recommended.

this mix is like rare personal standard of ascetic vision of sound from real uncompromising minimal techno's godfather. quite straight and dancey-orientated but still strong - but not as much as it could be from him. its his second official mix in a long career (previous was dated 2002), this time slower and warmer with a lot of his recent stuff.

some quote:

"I had developed this "grey area" sound - what I mean by that is that in Detroit, even when the sun is out, there's something in the atmosphere. The sky has a grey haze over it. It's got to be something from the industrial factories there. I'd never really heard a sound like that before and it came from a Roland Juno - it was a chord sound that really went along with my depiction of what Detroit was at that time. A lot of buildings were abandoned and there was a lot of lifelessness in the city, especially downtown. The M-Plant, in minimalism, kind of reflected that. I remember thinking of Detroit like a museum. You know, like a work of art standing still, suspended in time." – Robert Hood

its ace. everyone remotely interested in detroit techno/electro should listen to it

who taught you math? is fucking awesome.

love this mix!
