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.

Resident Advisor podcast

RA.796 Darryn Jones and Tone B. Nimble

American @tonebnimble has been a vital part of the dance music underground since growing up in Chicago in the mid-eighties. He's one of those artists who has always stayed under the radar but is a firm favourite with those who know, from Sadar Bahar to Gilles Peterson. Part of that is because of the faultless labels he runs which shine a light on both lesser known and more modern soul, disco and gospel gems. First, there was Al-Tone Edits with Al Bum, and then came Rain&Shine which put out eight volumes of Tone's magnificent Soul is My Salvation series. 

All of these life-enriching sounds old and new are served up on this week's mix in a positively uplifting fashion. It's a glorious selection of soul-stirring songs, funky disco bombs and golden gospel grooves that work in just about any setting, at any time of day. Mixes as irresistible as this are as much education as they are entertainment, and they should really make us thankful for diggers like Tone B. Nimble who work so exhaustively to bring us such high-grade musical pleasures.

Coloring Lessons Mix Series 068: Maurice Fulton

I'm so happy to be joined by swiss DJ and producer @lea-lisa for the second hour of the show! 🙃

Since 1995, Lea Lisa has been deeply passionate about music and devoted to the house scene, consistently flying the flag for the genre and pushing its sound forward. As a producer, she has released acclaimed EPs on La Mona Records, Phonica, Wolf Music, and Smallville Records—just to name a few.

Last year, she curated the brilliant compilation "Many Shades of House" on Favorite Recordings—a deeply personal project featuring tracks, artists, and records that have shaped her career.
If you’re around Lausanne, don’t miss a night at Folklor Club, especially Bliss Nights, the party she hosts, where she invites incredible DJs from all over the world!

I took care of the first hour with music from our dear and deeply missed Roy Ayers 🤍, N'Dambi (Ron Trent Remix) from Lea Lisa’s Many Shades of House compilation, forthcoming @gintonicorchestra on @floors-records, and an exclusive track from Milk & Honey (aka @saint-james & @tour-maubourg), soon to be released on @chuwanaga (!!!)
