The first techno mix in the Bodytonic Podcast series comes from Detroit legend Robert Hood.

Currently enjoying something of a renaissance having just released a corker of a mix for Fabric, this mix features Hood under his Grey Area guise - an alias he uses to showcase his own productions and remixes and his labels catalogue from M-Plant, Duet, Drama, Hardwax.

This mix was recorded recently at the legendary FUSE club in Belgium. Thanks to Oliver at EPM for making this happen...and enjoy!

    on the DL now, good choice lads!

  • stu77 @ 1 Apr 2008 12:20

    lookin forward to this! Nice one boys!!

    How on earth did you get hold of this masterpiece??

    I have been a Detroit techno fan for nearly 15 years and this is quite simply the most sublime collection of real deep techno I have ever heard. Seriously!

    The guy himself has never put put out anything remotely comparable even on his own label. He did one for Logistic, France a couple years ago but this is better. Much better. It has virtually all of his great classics and if you bear in mind he practically invented deep minimal Detroit techno thats over 30% of the greatest techno.
    Ever!

    Jeff Mills might be better known. Richie Hawtin, Derrick May and Kevin Saunderson are the closest competitors but Rob Hood is the purists techno artist. When Fat Boy Slim held a party @ the gallery London this is the guy he choose to DJ.

    The guy has been at least 20 years in the business and somehow you have managed to get your hands on his best, most commercial work - and given it away..

    A coup of epic proportions. Well done.

    His awakenings mix from detriot weekend last september is awesome too.

  • ronalddumsfeld @ 9 May 2008 23:39

    Thx for the heads up Sledge.

    Yup. That ones pretty good as well.

  • AidanKelly @ 15 May 2008 21:18

    This is an awesome mix, similar enough to his DEMF set a couple of years back, but I think this one is much better. It's a pity he hasn't been over to Ireland more often, I missed his EC set last year. This is techno at its very best, amazing stuff, and thanks for the podcast!

  • staby @ 8 Jun 2008 21:07

  • Ru @ 28 Jul 2008 20:24

    All good in the hood, nice.

  • Sledgehammer255 @ 29 Aug 2008 1:11

    Also check his Live@Darkside mix from 03-09-05...even throws in some hip-hop...genius.

  • Sledgehammer255 @ 29 Aug 2008 1:17

    Any chance of a Claude Young podcast..please?...Maybe you could to a detroit special at Pogo sometime-Rob Hood in the club and Scan 7 in pogo live????

  • Tayor @ 3 Sep 2008 12:32

    id actually looked into claude young for EP recently but we didnt have the budget . he lives in japan now, expensive place to bring people over from so might not hapen for POGO. a podcast ill look into though, bit cheaper :)

  • Sledgehammer255 @ 4 Sep 2008 4:31

    I understand the cost, pity he moved so far away!..He is well in with Spainish promoters when he travels to europe anyway. I doubt he`d play Pogo sadly. I guess its up to EC lads to try and get him to an Electric Shock event...i can wish! Orlando Voorn in Pogo instead maybe?

  • richiek @ 13 Sep 2008 9:33

    cant dowload this podcast anyway you can help? saw him in electric picnic he was quality

  • Tayor @ 13 Sep 2008 20:16

    had to disable it after a while , sorry , on roberto's request. should have him back soon enough i hope

  • Sledgehammer255 @ 23 Sep 2008 8:47

  • PORKSCRATCHING (Guest User) @ 8 Nov 2008 18:01

    (After Basic Channell).

  • aoifecaulfield1 @ 2 Jan 2009 10:47

    not sure why you cant download it , seems to be a tech glitch. our IT guy is back in the office on Monday so will get it sorted then

  • Matthew @ 2 Jan 2009 18:03

    its no glitch, its gone because Robert Hood wanted it removed, as mentioned by T about 5 comments up!

  • pier7 @ 20 Jan 2009 13:01

    ahh dammit I missed this one . an absolute hero so many good memories from this dude. anone know if he will be in europe this year.?

  • magoo95 @ 20 Jan 2009 13:33

    I cant be 100% certian but rumour is he plaing the TP in a while, maybe someone on here in authority can confirm or maybe even deny...!?

  • Sledgehammer255 @ 4 Feb 2009 4:18

    He is playing for test guys sometime this year. And i`m not certain it will be in kennedys where they hold recidency. Might be electric shock+test collaboration event...that is just my thinking.

  • Sledgehammer255 @ 4 Feb 2009 4:25

    He is at awakenings on 14th feb in Eindhoven,paradiso in Amsterdam on 13th march and Bloc. He might be guest of Derrick May`s hi-tek soul nite on 28th March in ministry of sound.
