Theo Parrish - STFU [SoundSignature]

A - STFU (long mix)

B - STFU" (short mix)


Limited, blink-and-miss drop from Theo on his Sound Signature imprint. As you might guess from the title, 'Shut The F*ck Up' is one of his grimier, more rugged productions, cutting out any bullsh*t for a bare bones MPC and synth jam in two versions. On the longer session he lets rip with gritty, downslow, jazz-timed rhythms synced to a snaky, ranting acid sequence in a cryptic, esoteric dialogue on dancefloor physics and Afro-futurism. Flipside he reigns himself in for a shorter version concentrating on swaggering drum fluctuations and that abstract acid chat. Basically, it's sounds like nobody else out there.

Theo Parrish - Feel Free To Be Who You Need To Be [Sound Signature]

A - Feel Free To Be Who You Need To Be

B - 360@1:29ON696 (feat Dumminie Deporres - full version)


Standardly superb House music from Theo, dropping off a couple more cuts from his 'Sketches' LP. Firstly there's a much needed vinyl pressing of his outstanding 10 minute aquatic electro funk killer 'Feel Free To Be Who You Need To Be', giving the nod to Drexciya in a masterfully fluid and intuitive groove construction. Flipside is the 12+ minute tropically jazzy guitar and synth vibe-out of '360@1:29on696 (Full Version)' featuring longtime collaborator Dumminie Deporres.

Theo Parrish - Musical Metaphors - Sound Signature

Originally Released: 1997

A - Carpet People Don't Drink Steak Soda
B1 - Shadow Dancing
B2 - JB's Edit (Wait A Minute)

"The first release on Theo's proper label gets a timely repress, 'Carpet People Dont Drink Steak Soda' is the brilliant opener, a looped vocal and filtered disco groove gets tweaked before the awesome detuned Rhodes piano synth drops over the heavy kick's, add the clattering drums and a real head nodding feel and you have the perfect start to one of the most influential labels outta the Motor City. The flip harbours the killer 'JB's Edit' which is also on the Peacefrog 'First Floor' LP, a tough and jacking track that hits hard with its Horn/Vocal loop and heavy drums, and the subtle, spacious, and timeless 'Shadow Dancing' track, which is worth a million other deep house tracks, the deepest cut by a long chalk.

Assorted Elements - Ndatl

A1 - Kai Alce - Lost
A2 - Kai alce - Simply 93
B1 - Theo Parrish - Voice Echoes In The Dark
B2 - Loosefingers - 303 Indigenius
B3 - KZRC - Thoughts...Sunny Day

"Essential Deep House session from Kai Alcé's NDATL label, offering three of his own raw and tracky grooves backed with exclusive productions by Theo Parrish and Larry Heard! In such esteemed company Kai makes a heavy impression with the mesmerizing jack of 'Lost', the killer, Funky-compatible snares of 'Simply '93' and the fruitier jazz-House of 'Thoughts... sunny day'. On 'Voices In The Dark' Theo Parrish is in hypnotic form, rubbing and pinching his loops into bumpy, elliptical arrangements with psychoactivating potential, while Loosefingers aka Larry Heard drops a frisky acid House bomb on 'Indigenous'."

Theo Parrish - Overyohead / Dance Of The Drunken Drums - Sound Signature

Released 1999

A - Overyohead
B - Dance of the Drunken Drums

"Simply the deepest of Theo's production's, OverYoHead is a journey through the mind of Theo, taking in detuned rhodes, bright searing strings, heavy drums and the looped up piano that closes the track. Dance Of The Drunken Drum's is a moody masterpiece that defies description, except to say you wont get any deeper. " Discogs
