Biography

Underground Resistance

Hood was a member of Underground Resistance, a techno collective started by Jeff Mills and former Parliament bass player 'Mad' Mike Banks.[3] The group embraced militant, revolutionary rhetoric, and only appeared in public dressed in ski masks and black combat suits.[4]

Solo work and independent label

In 1992, Hood left Detroit and Underground Resistance with Jeff Mills to create a series of recordings both as H&M and X-103.[5] In 1994, Hood founded minimal techno label M-Plant releasing the album Minimal Nation, which is considered the inspiration for the minimal techno genre.[6]

Gospel-era

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.[7][8]
