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.

Theo Parrish Live @ Watergate, Berlin  2009

Theo Parrish live @ Stereotonic (Dublin) 2005

Here we go... Some more Theo Parrish live from the Motor-City back in 1999’. I remember being in Detroit around 1998’ for Chrissie Clees with John Bileebob Williams event @ Shelters & we heard about this private house after party where Theo was djing at. When we got the location, we could hear the music coming out from the loft above. L.A. Williams you there with us too. So we began calling out THEO!!! THEO!!! But our voices just drowned through the beatz coming out of that window.
Anyhow, I know you’re going to dig this mixtape of our brother taking his listeners for an amazing musical journey.

Enjoy,

THEO PARRISH | CUTLOOSE - 15th April 2011

A talent from an impossibly young age, Chicago producer and DJ Ron Trent began his musical career aged 14, the year he produced the febrile, wild Chicago anthem "Altered States". His production output has barely let up since, minting numerous labels and sub labels to release his and other's music, most notably Prescription Records, which helped define the smoky and jazz-indebted sound of deep house in the 1990s.
