Red Bull Music Academy Presents: Theo Parrish


From: Red Bull Music Academy Online

As anyone who has experienced a Theo Parrish the work of this consummate architect of sound envelopes the listener, and transmits new perspectives on club sonix. Theo's musical expression fuses the rhythmic, disco-based pulse of Chicago house with the modernist motorik soul of Detroit techno; at the same time pointing to a lineage in black music that runs directly from Sun Ra to Sound Signature. "Jazz spawned house music, jazz spawned hip hop, jazz spawned funk and they all reflect back into that," says Theo. So if you want to see the future via the raw, soulful and black roots of house music, then you've come to the right teleporter. Check out Theo's recent remix of the Kuniyuki Takahashi track, entitled "All These Things".
