Theo Parrish grew up on Chicago house parties. He went to art school in Kansas City, and then moved to Detroit. His eclectic DJ sets in Detroit in the late ’90s and early in this millennium are legendary.

“Love of the music should be the driving force of any producer, performer or DJ. Everything else stems from that core, that love. With that love, sampling can become a tribute; An expansion on ideas long forgotten, reconstruction, collage. Using the same understanding openly and respectfully can turn DJing into a spiritual participation. It can turn a few hours of selection into essential history; Necessary listening through movement.” This personal philosophy gives shape and direction to the distinctive sounds that are created by Theo Parrish.

    Just saw this genius in Glasgow last Friday, many more than I, were drowning in an eclectic puddle of musical orgasm that Mr. Parrish, spewed forth for 4 hours!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Still can't believe how good it was, words can not express the love I possess for this man. Bless you Theo Parrish, what a guy!

    i hope in the future people are going to give him the recognition he deserves and his records become a part off every modern musiclover's collection. like every jazzlover has a monk or a davis in his collection (no comparison made).
