I first got interested in UR via ’93′s seminal ‘Galaxy 2 Galaxy’ EP, which was a kind of heds up to the first generation of Detroit techno producers from 10 years earlier. And as well as being heavyweight’s in their own right (though not always on my tip) the trio of Mike Banks, Robert Hood & Jeff Mills created a movement with a definite social & political agenda, adding a gravitas and context to their sound that takes it way beyond the dance floor — much like PE did with Hip Hop. Though it’s personnel are in constant rotation, UR are still going strong today in one form or another, can’t say I’ve checked their current output but worth digging their back catalogue for timeless electronic music like this.
