I had such a lovely time putting this mix together! It's got all the signs of a tried and true Pacific Coliseum mix: housey beats, lots of percussion, jazzy pianos. It's all in there baby! I tried to capture that moment in a party where it turns from warm-up to peak time.

I love playing warm up sets (promoters get in touch ;), and getting to help people lock in is such an enjoyable experience for me. This mix is a great expression of that!

POSITIVE REALITY WITH QUEEN MAJESTY @ The Lot Radio 04-27-2025

"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

Cottam-Relapse 1

May at VIBRATIO)))NS starts with a truly unique entry by musician & DJ Oscar aka @thundertillman

When you meet Thunder Tillman you instantly feel his aura, and witnessing him perform live seals that impression. His performances are a true sensory journey where blends so many elements of sounds into his music, channelling traditional hymns from around the globe with ambient, electronic, and psychedelic influences that defy categorization. His DJ sets continue to channel this direction, with a record collection that explores far reaches of sound, and his entry to the series takes it the most enchanting and mind bending directions.

Here's the mix in his own words:

"I first met Moe at Hosoi in Stockholm around 2018 I think. We have since both moved on, so when he asked me to contribute 3 hours of anything goes, it instantly brought me back to those nights playing and hanging at Hosoi, a beautiful place where the music gets deep and anything goes. Thinking of what I wanted to play for my crew back in Stockholm inspired this mix. A multi layered trip through sound and space, hopefully it will take you to some unexpected places (it did take me to some :). We do some stops at Trippy, spacy, new and old while passing through booth ambient and groovy. As a bonus I included two unreleased Thunder Tillman tracks. Enjoy and happy travels!"
