"It was so difficult to become someone." The house hero talks about Chicago's competitive scene, developing a sound and letting go of his ego. 

Theo Parrish is one of dance music's most influential DJs and producers. Raised in Chicago, he's become synonymous with slow-burning, immersive grooves and sets that mix classics with obscurities. He began DJing in 1986 aged 13, eventually earning a degree in sculpture and moving to Detroit, where he hit his stride as an artist and became a member of the collective Three Chairs alongside Moodymann, Rick Wilhite and Marcellus Pittman. He also started the label Sound Signature, which uses the language of soul, jazz, disco, Chicago house and Detroit techno.

A few months ago, Resident Advisor teamed up with London institution fabric to host Parrish for an eight-hour set—his first time playing the club. While he was in town, he also spoke with CDR's Tony Nwachukwu. In the Exchange, Parrish talks about the intensely competitive scene he grew up in. He DJ'd for 13 years before he was ever paid or had his name billed on a lineup. It took years of passion and hard work to break out of his local scene and build the career he's become known for. 

"At five years, you're dealing with the technical part [of DJing], at ten it's finding your sound and at 15 it's dealing with the ego of it all," he says. "It's not until much later that you actually start to play for and with people."

Parrish also reflects on the ongoing dearth of diversity in the dance music industry and posits whether some of the most popular music in the US—such as trap—reinforces counterproductive racial stereotypes. He asks: did house music ultimately survive because it left where it originally came from? Listen to the episode in full. -Chloe Lula

lyrics ~
before u go
say u love me on more time 
cause i can tell that u were never mine
my heads just filled with neverminds

maybe u realized 
i never fell out of love with her
i ran away to never hurt  
i still wear her fathers shirt 
i think ill cry on april first
dont really care about the rose bowl
but memories they hold 

i know i’m not a perfect person 
i know im hard to miss 
i guess i wish u cared a little bit 
i guess this wishful thinking

days pass 
they never seem that long 
i know i’ve never seemed that strong 
ur hair blew in the wind that fall
fell in love more with every call
shirt fit baggy ur pops was tall 
remember talking bout it all
stargazing, thinking we’re were small 
almosy burned the shirt im glad i stalled

before u go
say u love me on more time 
cause i can tell that u were never mine
my heads just filled with neverminds

maybe u realized 
i never fell out of love with her
i ran away to never hurt  
i still wear her fathers shirt 
i think ill cry on april first
dont really care about the rose bowl
but memories they hold 

fathers shirt (prod. irby)

DJ’s Block is my fourth mix in four months, and it nearly broke the streak — I’ve been setting myself a goal to drop one a month this year. I’d spent weeks gradually building a set piece by piece, trying to craft the perfect intro with a massive build-up, but nothing felt right. Then I got a voice note from my mate Jack that summed up the struggle — and after hearing it, I flipped my approach completely. I scrapped everything and went with no intro, quick drop, and a flurry of quickfire mixes to set the tone. It then made perfect sense to include a snippet of Jack’s voice note in the intro for DJ’s Block.

It starts with bouncy rollers and fast transitions, hits some huge double drops, then slows the pace and lets a few tunes roll out.

Featuring tracks from Sustance, Felov, Break, Kasra, Amoss, Enei, Alix Perez, Koherent, SL8R, Chase & Status, and more.

Vine n’est pas le genre de personne que l’on présente par un « Dès l’âge de 5 ans », car de l’enfance, il n’a gardé que l’essentiel : une énergie débordante. D’un rock et sa batterie jusqu’au sommet Tech/Deep-House et CDJs, la route des vins a donné naissance à un de ses plus grands crus, qui sans prétentions, viendra délicatement laisser un goût inoubliable à l’audition.
