Mills never "officially" left the group, but did begin to pursue his own ventures outside of the collective.<ref name=MTVNewsDTechGoinHome /> Many of Underground Resistance's labelmate's early releases were the product of various experiments by Banks and Mills, both solo and in collaboration, before Mills left the collective in 1991 to achieve international success as a solo artist and DJ. The collective continues to be a mainstay of Detroit's music scene.<ref name=MTVNewsDTechGoinHome /> UR related the [[aesthetics]] of early Detroit Techno to the complex social, political, and economic circumstances which followed on from [[Ronald Reagan|Reagan]]-era inner-city economic recession, producing uncompromising music geared toward promoting awareness and facilitating political change. UR's songs created a sense of self-exploration, experimentation and the ability to change yourself and circumstances. Additionally, UR wanted to establish a means of identification beyond traditional lines of race and ethnicity. Another form of UR's rebellion concerns the rejection of the commercialization of techno. This is evident in the messages scratched in UR's records, lyrics and sounds expressing economic independence from major record labels.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Schaub |first1=Christopher |title=Beyond the Hood?
