EPM PODCAST 06 – ROBERT HOOD (M-PLANT)

For many Robert Hood is justly revered as one of the most important and defining techno artists of our generation and EPM is proud to launch their completely redesigned website alongside one of electronic music’s most visionary composers. Robert is the guest DJ for EPM’s latest podcast, featuring tracks compiled from Hood’s label M-Plant (which is exclusively digitally distributed by EPM) featuring past, present and future releases highlighting some of Robert’s unreleased material from this summer’s ‘Omega’ conceptual artist album on M-Plant. The EPM Podcast series reaches new heights with Robert Hood’s unique vision. To download/stream the mix click here.

Hood’s forthcoming album is based on the 1971 classic science fiction film, ‘The Omega Man’ starring Charlton Heston and derived from Richard Matheson’s 1954 novel ‘I Am Legend’ (which was recently re-adapted to the big screen). This album concept is a long-held vision of Hood’s and the film’s stimulus has presented itself both musically and even spiritually for him, since he watched it as a child. Its themes appear even more relevant today and continue to haunt: “it’s definitely metaphoric” says Hood “and if we don't heed the signs, this is where we'll end up. We live in a society where we just consume. We just take. We don't operate on the concept of giving”.

As a taster of what is to come you can see Hood dropping preceding single ‘Alpha’ here when playing at Belgium’s legendary Fuse club recently.

Robert’s new release “Alpha / Omega (End Times)” on M-Plant is released 15 March. View press release here.
