“When the party’s in full swing, these tracks always deliver.”
Why I Stock This Record
This is a Detroit Techno / Techno masterpiece from Robert Hood. The standout tracks for me are “I Am” and “Thought Process”, both of which I regularly reach for when the party is in full swing.
They’ve got that raw, driving, hypnotic energy that Robert Hood is known for — powerful, precise, and built to move a crowd. Both tracks also feature in my Selected Records #001 Mixcloud show.
If you’re a Techno lover, serious vinyl collector or DJ who appreciates proper Detroit Techno with depth and power, this Dekmantel release is a must-have for the crate. Clean copy and plays strong every time.

Review
When Dekmantel announced Robert Hood's Paradygm Shift project, which encompassed a gaggle of 12" singles and this album, the Dutch label described it as the "older and mature brother" of his seminal 1994 double-pack Minimal Nation. It's a rather apt description. This full album edition offers a gleeful romp through the Detroiter's distinctively booming-but-stripped back style of jacking techno, where slowly morphing loops, foreboding riffs and spooky melody lines ride hypnotic, locked-in grooves. There's little thrillingly new and different here, just killer dancefloor workouts in Hood's trademark style. Given that he does this kind of loop techno better than anyone else, that's a very good thing indeed.
