Robert Hood

Originally released in 1999 on the Duet imprint, Robert Hood's ''Sophisticcato'' stands as a concise but potent example of his late-'90s minimal techno philosophy. Built around four tracks, including the title cut, ''The First Night'' andtwo versions of ''Cobra Seed'', the record features his signature approach with stripped-back drum patterns and hypnotic loops that prioritise rhythm over unnecessary embellishment.
