Listen to: Theo Parrish - Train Wreck Mix

Ahead of Theo's performance tonight at Motion (Bristol), we are starting the day with his awesome Train Wrack Mix recorded for Red Bull Music Academy. The mix runs for two hours and really portraits all about Theo: Soul, Groove, Jazz, Funk, Disco and anything else you can mix in between. A good taster for what is meant to be an unforgettable night.

Preview: Theo Parrish & Marcellus Pittman All Night Long @ Motion Bristol (25.01.13)

As the weekend approaches, the excitement is starting to reach risky levels but it's totally justifiable... things like this do not happen very often. Two of our favourite producers ever, Theo Parrish & Marcellus Pittman, will take over one of our favourite spaces around Bristol, The Tunnel at Motion Skatepark, for an all night long Soul extravanganza.

We will be there but nothing we can tell you it's going to be even closer to what we will experience.





Advanced tickets are sold out but the last 100 will be at the door on the night, so arrive early and you will enjoy it with us!

It has been one of those records that have been sounding around for a while. I heard Maurice himself play some of the tracks during his last visit to Bristol and they have also been part of the latest Theo Parrish DJ sets. Here is an example:

Theo Parrish releases "Sketches" digitally

Detroit genious Theo Parrish has released his famous album "Sketches" digitally. This is a special ocassion as a great part of Theo's music has never been published in digital format, because he one of the hardest vinyl protectors.

Anyway, this will help to get Theo closer to the newest generations which is always something good and from what everybody should learn.


Read full review of Sketches - THEO PARRISH on Boomkat.com ©

From Boomkat:

*Available on Digital for the first time* Eleven tracks of essential productions from Theo Parrish!! Recorded between his studio in Detroit and the Red Bull studios in Cologne and Toronto, 'Sketches' features contributions from Larry Mizell, Dumminie Deporres, IG Culture, and the Rotating Assembly, all spreading the vibes hip deep. A highlight, the recently released 'Traffic' feat. IG Culture and Benjamin Lamar Gay makes an appearance, next to the kinky Afro-Latin minimalism of 'Thumpasaurus', and the astral slip 'n slide jazz groove of 'Kites On Pluto', but to be fair we're spoilt for choice on favourites. There's the low-down dirty bassline seepage of 'Black Mist', the coital percussive killer 'Wookie Nookie', the jaw dropping 12min 30 sec tropical synth and guitar vibe-out of '360@1:29on696 (full version)' feat. Dumminie Deporres, the bristling shock of his 'Untitled' workout with soul legend Larry Mizell, and a stunning, 10-minute electro-techno-funk closer in 'Feel Free To Be Who You Need To Be' nodding to classic Mr. De or Drexciya moves. Evidently Theo is in the mood for some with 'Sketches', balancing his rooted jazz background with proper technoid yearnings, making for an instant classic.
