Underground Resistance is in all probability the most militantly political rock outcrop of innovative urban American techno. Combining a grubby, four-track esthetical, an nearly strictly DIY business sector philosophy, and an oppositional, militaristic ethos similar to Public Enemy without the drama (or the conversancy; the members refuse to be photographed without bandanas obscuring their identities), UR have redirected their share of the Detroit techno legacy to social militant ends, trading mainstream popularity and fiscal winner for independence and self-rule. Begun in the early '90s by second-wave sacred Trinity Jeff Mills, "Mad" Mike Banks, and Robert "Noise" Hood, UR altered the flavour and give up of early Detroit techno to the composite social, political, and economic circumstances in the wake of Reagan-era accelerated inner city decline, and was formed as an outlet for uncompromising music geared toward sentience and change.
The early UR catalogue is defined by a typically Detroit combination of Motown and Chicago soul, and unpitying, at times sulfurous lo-fi techno, acrid, and electro (Mills' background knowledge is in, among former things, Chicago industrial and EBM-style electro-techno, with Banks and Hood both approach from a satisfying house and techno base). Much of the label's early output was the mathematical product of assorted permutations of Banks, Mills, and Hood, both solo and in combination, earlier Mills and Hood left UR in 1992 to pursue (and attain) international success. Banks continued to manoeuvre UR in the waken of the split, releasing EPs such as "Render of Acid Rain," "Message to the Majors," and "Coltsfoot to Galaxy" under the UR streamer, as well as 12-inches by progressively illustrious artists such as Drexciya. Although UR stiff largely distant of the more high profile American and European scenes, UR releases have once in a while leaked into various, relatively more establishmentarian contexts (commonly below the pretext of "reconnaissance" or "infiltration"), with the noted German techno tag Tresor reissuing 12-inches from the early UR catalog and the React label compilation featuring undivided tracks from Banks and other UR artists. The number one actual full-length credited to Underground Resistance was 1998's Interstellar Fugitives. [Realise Also: "Demented" Mike Banks]
