X-101
X-101 was a Detroit project of the Underground Resistance circle, with Mad Mike Banks, Jeff Mills and Robert Hood among its members, created for Berlin's Tresor label. Its hard, stripped records were among the first to be issued through the Detroit-Berlin alliance that Tresor brokered. The name itself signaled the deliberate anonymity that bound the two cities' undergrounds together.
