theo parrish s/d

loved the jill scott mix, sun ra one less so

Methods of Movement? Haven't come across this one, either. There's a good discography here: http://twoplayer.net/theo/

Where are you, Zemko? I'm surprised to hear an HMV would have it! The mix CD-Rs generally run about $15 from the stores here, and about $17 elsewhere (also saw some at Amoeba in San Fran).

????????????

Anyway, I like the "I Can Take It" 12", and most of the other Sound Signature stuff but oh is it hard and/or expensive to find. Thanks for the offer of trade Jeff, and does anyone have some of the 12 inches dubbed to cd and want to trade?

I think I have most of the mix cd's. You could usually get them from FE when they were released but you had to act fast. I'd be willing to burn copies for anyone interested. Just drop me a line.

Destroy: Theo Parrish mix CD manufacturer. The top of mine literally peeled off after a year!

I hope that you answer me someday, because is really difficult find in spain people who love and understand theo parrish concept, as a dj as a producer.

Enjoy da good fucking shit.

i have been listening to nothing but parrish mix cd's for the last couple of days.

Jess, I remember you bagging on SILENCE IN THE SECRET GARDEN a bit when that came out, maybe that was it. I'm biased, I hold KDJ second only to Theo in house music production.

PS: Andrés will never get enough love.

Andy, what is this Rotating Assembly album of which you speak?

"I wish all the Theo Parrish releases weren't so nebulous and expensive"

Ha, for once I have a leg up on all y'all grime/gutter garage white label collectors, shit I can't get ahold of in my local shops! The Record Time stores in the Detroit suburbs always have Theo's stuff, and for very afforable prices. Maybe it's no so bad here after all!

Really digging the Harmonie Park 12" as well.

Didn't the last Moodymann come out like 6 months ago??

Thanks for the tip, Andy. I'm surprised I didn't notice this on my last trip to Record Time. I don't stop in there very often (every couple months usually), but I was just there maybe 3 weeks ago and didn't see it.

p.s. Mullygrubber is my hero for hooking me up with Burzum and a bunch of Brazilian stuff in exchange for my Theo and Moodymann and Danielle Dax stuff.

Well, there's that Marvin Gaye remix, better known as Major Moments of Instant Insanity.

I just paid through the nose for the 2-cd Three Chairs album, but it is stunning.

the Eclectic aesthetic (ugh, horrible name) mixes are pretty darn good too.

is this the same thing as that triple-vinyl set that was recently released?

^^

very nicely put, d-40

the sound of this album is low-key incredible, the keys are pillow-soft, the drum machines have such a nice crunch. everything's up-front but and kind of raw but there are layers and blending and full spectrum / space. idk but it sounds like tape was involved? also idk but there's probably sampler-playing to get the subtle phasing effects that show up now and then? pretty sure this is my #2 album of the year after beatrice dillon.

this is becoming one of my favorite albums of the year, it’s so invigorating

Moka, that track is a vinyl-only exclusive.

This record rules.

Chris Richards , Washington Post music critic loves new Theo Parrish album Wuddaji

that's a nice review.

"this is for you" is so, so good.

i know there's a whole other thread for these kinds of songs but Angry Purple Birds reminds me a bit of the Earthbound soundtrack

thought for sure this revive would be about the absolutely massive new 3 chairs release : Parrish, moodyman, and marcellus Pittman laying down endless loose and hypnotic grooves

new? do you mean the digital file comp?

don’t forget rick wilhite

yeah "new" i guess. and yes you're right, my bad.

anyways it slaps

https://rickwilhite.bandcamp.com/album/3-chairs-collection-1997-2013

some of the greatest stuff ever. “good kiss”, “blue out”...

RAIN FOR MFING JIMI

yeah, it's really good, I shelled out for it without a moment of hesitation

incredible collection; they make it sound so easy

New EP, Smile, is lovely; having a hard time not listening to Lost Angel over and over right now.

it’s old material (as I think was noted elsewhere):

good to know!

Anyone hear him on NTS today? I only caught the last hour. I'd love to have a track list of the whole set but I doubt that's forthcoming.

I'm sure he played some of his Ugly Edits, I also heard some Quasimoto and Erykah Badu. That's all I've got.

i caught the first few hours and then the end, amazing the variety of stuff he can play but it always still sounds like him. i was following the chat a bit in the first part and there were lots of tracks that weren't identified, some edits and blends and whatever, maybe the mixes.db guys will work their magic when the recording gets released

I'm still listening to Wuddaji on a regular basis. The king

I need to pick that one up! I’ve been mostly into the Ugly edits lately myself.

Dogs who are the ‘db guys’? Database?

mixes.db is a site with a big database of mixes and people identify/verify tracks on there

yes gaga

new single with maurissa rose sounding a++++

Been listening to Theo lots the past weeks while working. Especially loving his 12” with Tony Allen, “Sketches” and the last two solo albums. But all of it is timeless and good.

crazy how much the ugly edits sell for now

Look at the edit phenomenon! Now, granted, I’ve had my hand in it, and I regret that I had my hand in it—

Do you really?

Oh, absolutely. It was a mistake. It was a big mistake. I didn’t think ahead. I didn’t think that 1) you’re not crediting the artist; 2) that’s not your writing; and 3) even though I had the best intentions, that it’s offensive to the people who did the originals.

(i just bought two more 7”s of edits today)

yeah i mean i caned the edits for a while there but theo parrish since american intelligence has just been on another level entirely

i can't imagine a more boring thing to share about theo parrish in 2022 than 'wow the ugly edits are expensive now,' they were expensive then too, they must have gone up some dollars, fascinating

probably at least partly due to understanding he doesn’t want to repress them

i assume someone will eventually bootleg his bootlegs though. i think it’s already happened with jill scott and a couple others, though not for the sugarhill one, which is the one i always wanted

digging “Imaginary Thug Funk” right now:

lol...sorry? I also listen to new theo parrish, it wasn't supposed to sum up his whole thing. but I bought several ugly edits for like, 11 bucks back in the day and theyre now going for triple or quadruple that on discogs. it was just an observation

also...they're good & serve a totally difft purpose than his original productuions but go off

new 6-track, 52-minute album just dropped, Cornbread & Cowrie Shells For Bertha

https://k7records.bandcamp.com/album/dj-kicks-theo-parrish

Growing up in Chicago, later Detroit-based music producer, Theo Parrish is internationally well known for his own inimitable downtempo house music style. The approach Parrish took to compiling DJ-Kicks was very ambitious, inviting his Detroit peers to produce a collection of brand new material, and in turn creating the first ever all exclusive entry to the esteemed series.

"Detroit creates. But rarely imitates. Why? We hear and see many from other places do that with what we originate. No need to follow. Get it straight. In the Great Lakes there are always more under the surface than those that appear to penetrate the top layer of attention and recognition. What about them that defy tradition? Those that side step the inaccurate definitions often given from outside positions? This is that evidence. Enjoy."

so, not a dj kicks but a sound signature comp on k7? that's cool, not like he doesn't have a million cool mixes out already! although i'm often confounded by a lot of the non-theo productions on his label, so would have liked to hear how he mixes them - i'm assuming the 2CD tracklist reflects an unmixed comp, and he hasn't done many CDR mixes lately. what i heard of the "thanks to plastic" CDR seemed to be in the "eclectic aesthetic" / "when i snapped at blue basement" vein. i should probably check out the music gallery one with specter

oh this looks so good. the preview track is ace.

this is very good, some excellent tracks

there's a nice short on YT right now for promotion with some of the artists talking about their tracks, really sweet:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5sxqmJXBZqc

getting into the dj kicks as the weather warms up, it's really fab

it’s good— except for the first track and the other DeSean Jones track. first one is poorly constructed, and the religious bombast and wretched gospel singing of the second are huge turnoffs. and i LIKE gospel house, i just don’t think the Jones guy’s songs are any good, and his voice isn’t great, either.

aw i like the jones track & the first track is a gorgeous highlight, wtflol. my fav might be the deon jamar track, sounds like a funkier e2-e4 - divine

anyway...
