(Detroit Techno/Electro) VA - 14 tracks - Life Is A Waveform: Underground Resistance - 2009, MP3 (tracks), 320 kbps

The legacy of Underground Resistance flows deep through the last 20 years of electronic music history. Originally a duo consisting of "Mad" Mike Banks and Jeff Mills, the collective was reinforced by the addition of Robert Hood and a militant strategy of sonic revolution against the mediocrity of mainstream audio and visual culture was formed. This manifested itself over the 90's and into the 00's through a series of seminal records from the label's core members, most notably the innate techno soul of "Mad" MIke Banks, James "Suburban Knight" Pennington's dystopian dreams, and the enigmatic mythology of Drexciya. Their political rhetoric and uncompromising sound irreversibly infiltrated like-minded outposts from Berlin to Manchester and Sao Paolo, programming waveforms that would influence an oncoming generation of artists like Basic Channel, thinkers like Kodwo Eshun and Kode 9 and dancers just like you. For this collection we've trawled the archives to cover just a fraction of the Underground Resistance spectrum to hopefully convey the same feelings they gave us in the first place all those years ago...
