Saw him live a month ago. It was so amazing and life changing I went to see him again last night in Los angeles in a wearhouse and it was just absolutely utterly unbelievably good. This man is my favorite dj by far. What strikes me is the rhythms he plays on the records he chooses. There is so much percusion and rhythms on top of rhythms. Iv never heard anything like that. You can't resist. Your body just starts going crazy. Theo Perish is a master.
Your comment fascinated me. I've never seen Theo Parrish live, but I respect him deeply as a musician and DJ. Could you elaborate on your experience at his live set? What made it so special?
So intellectual about his music. There is NOTHING like a vinyl. Even the cover speaks to you and you can't get that with any other form of music. I'll never get rid of my collection. I want to continue to add to it but my favorite Bill's Records in Dallas the owner has died. But music lives on and on.
Crazy respect. I just hit my 29th year as a vinyl artist. There will never be anything quite like it.That tangeable sound you can hold and will not be forgotten.
thank you. one say i may have a b side showing my years of experience rrom living in Frankfurt Germany through moving to the US. Help me get on one of these
in a world of laptop dj's and controllers , terabytes and self operating d.j software its a breath of fresh air to see a vinyl d.j take out his own needles and actually become one with the room on a personal and intimate level
Every time he talks about his love of vinyl and vinyl Dj, it reminds me of craftsmanship in Japan. They use same technique from the past and carry tradition instead of going digital or automation. We need 2 types of people. People who keep the tradition and people who advance the technologies.
Yo the name of the first track is "Galactic Ancestors" on the album titled Sound Sculptures, if anyone is interested! Go Diggin. I just found it on ITunes. The point of diggin is to not only help you find the particular song you want, but also to familiarize yourself with other works from the artist. It's a form of self education.
This brother is strictly for the music,fun fact, I wrote and sang chemistry, one of tracks that’s playing on your short doc. We cut the song in Redbull studios in Cologne Germany.Amazing brother definitely understand him now since meeting him in person . unfortunately I guess I wasn’t worthy of credits on the song because he never gave them to me but all good.
He doesn’t mention that playing records in itself is a technological advantage replacing live musicians. This too is a form of convenience replacing artistry. Whether you play vinyl or cd seems like a minor change in comparison.
I'm not disagreeing with you on your point, because it is a very good one, but I think in this instance he's more talking about the attitude, effort and financial investment given when collecting vinyl over acquiring music digitally.
It's physically/logistically impossible for the amount of artists being showcased in a given DJ set to be present in the flesh in the same time-span. Your point is a non-sequitur.
12:50 As an (ex)teacher with 10+ years on the front-line, I can say with qualification that respect, or lack thereof pays no attention to age, race, nationality or gender; Poverty is the deprivation of sustenance to all souls.
I could listen to the words of wisdom from cats like my bro Theo Parrish and Heiroglyphic Being forever : Would love to have a ayahuasca jam with these doods. #respect
I've always loved Theo Parrish, this 15 minute feature is really quite nice, @ElectronicBeatsVideo thanks for presenting it! I love how he downplays beat the art of mixing for the art of the dj/artist. IMO, it's the personality, track selection, artistic vision & timing that really makes a good dj. I've always felt that the obsession with perfect mixing was a soulless focus. Technological advancements in music & dj'ing are not synonymous with artistic achievement/merit or value. Great guy.
Totally agree!! I got to hang out with Theo Parrish back in 96, if you want to do him justice, buy his vinyl for playing out, and share the knowledge of his music for free... the track at 7:55 is Chemistry by Theo Parrish (for the peeps who were asking)
completely mindblow, what a vision of djing and life. Just for the story i'm about to played at a festival in 2 weeks i was about to play some tech house that for sure will make people dance (sidney charles, appollo 84, detroit swindle, london ground, defected stuff mia mendi, and go on ) but the thing is i'm not true about myself he is totally right when he says it's all about technology and that anyome can do that. I have some disco records that i never played because i don't really know how people will react to them, or if they will wait for something more "hardcore" i would say. But after hearing that i will totally play that records and be true with what ilike complete change of point of vue and setlist. Thanks to always propose some quality when it comes to electronic music telekom, either studio tips and interview always something to learn and be shared.
Theo is propably the purest example of what a DJ is and even an artist. Convenience plays indeed a huge role. If Im honest I must admit that Im a lazy basdert too. In my town there're barely no record shops at all. I do buy about 20% vinyl and 80% digital. And Im impatient because I dont want to save 2 months until I got enouth money to buy all the wax I'd like to buy. I rather buy it online tbh. Vinyl is the real deal but I guess most of our generation does not have enouth discipline for it.
I saw Theo Parrish at Plastic People before it closed, best club night of my life. Sad I'll probably never hear those songs again, but appreciative that I had a chance to experience them once.
I love and buy vinyl all the time...but I play out digitally more often. I think it's an over simplified idea that djs are not focused on vinyl solely for convenience sake. First, the decision to stack up on vinyl is often a financial one. But you also play really differently with each...it's a style and technical choice- not one vs the other...shouldn't compare an electric guitar to an acoustic one. Everything is valid if it's used well.
Hi Electronic Beats Video. Thank You for posting this insightful insert.It is a great inspiration and very rare to get such knowledge form the man himself. May you please post the tracklist of the amazing music(I have never heard before)playing in the video. That would be great. Thanks once again for the video.
Words of wisdom, I've always been completely floored by Theo Parrish productions and the sphere of house and techno that he presides over-- there's nothing like a good deep dive into his catalogue. Check into Rotating Assembly and Sound Sculptures. It's worth trying to at least find it yourself first. That said, thanks to whoever ID'ed that "Puppet on a chain edit" and if you really need to ask what's the track title of Black Music w/o first Googling "Theo Parrish Black Music" just quit now.
I have always preferred vinyl, but have stopped buying when prices got rip off. I am cool with that because I find no good music these days to go digital anyways.
Crate digg'n is so underrated, by even the greatest dj's. If you go to the right vinyl shops you would probaly find more intersting tunes then you will ever find on the net. This is for any genre i guess. Your unconsious will let you listen better/longer to music, then you will on the internet. Besides that crate digg'n will keep you mindset open, cause you will always find some interesting unplanned records. Wich you probaly won't on the net, cause there's to much out there. Besides that there

Thank u 🙏🏾 for doing the Lord's work 😅❤️
"I'm not comfortable with convenience replacing artistry"
one helluva quote!
From one helluva of a guy!
as a street drummer I can't even explain how I appreciate that saying.
Theo is one of my role models; truth at all cost.
I went to art school with Theo, he is a great guy
Seems like a very smart, thoughtful, eloquent person.
Kc ai?
@@Coughman indeed
This is why undergroud artists are the only artists I listen to. Forget that mainstream madness.
Theo! One of the greatest to ever do it for house music! ❤
9:09 thee most profound statement about electronic music ever.
Saw him live a month ago. It was so amazing and life changing I went to see him again last night in Los angeles in a wearhouse and it was just absolutely utterly unbelievably good. This man is my favorite dj by far. What strikes me is the rhythms he plays on the records he chooses. There is so much percusion and rhythms on top of rhythms. Iv never heard anything like that.

First track played in this video “Galactic Ancestor” is one of the timeless best electronic music.
So intellectual about his music. There is NOTHING like a vinyl. Even the cover speaks to you and you can't get that with any other form of music. I'll never get rid of my collection. I want to continue to add to it but my favorite Bill's Records in Dallas the owner has died. But music lives on and on.

thank you. one say i may have a b side showing my years of experience rrom living in Frankfurt Germany through moving to the US. Help me get on one of these
as who ? vinyl artist ? :D
Theo arrived at that store in the afternoon. Left when it' was dark outside. He spent quality time inside for sure.
in a world of laptop dj's and controllers , terabytes and self operating d.j software its a breath of fresh air to see a vinyl d.j take out his own needles and actually become one with the room on a personal and intimate level
There are levels to the game.
The last 6 minutes are unexpectedly honest, powerful and wise. I was just trying to hear about how he sets up sequences in his mpc. Great guy
Theo is a living legend! Keep tha vibe a-live!
Theo Parrish is an intellectual artist!. No wonder why his musical work is so unique!
Music with a SERIOUS message!!!
love it most..mostly love how Theo talks about the music not forgetting what the man does for dance music
Glenn Arkton did you see this video about him - ruclips.net/video/8YK3pPp-vxc/видео.html
The man took the words out of my mouth, so many times, in this video..
His words are music by themselves
It was never away ;-)
Every time he talks about his love of vinyl and vinyl Dj, it reminds me of craftsmanship in Japan. They use same technique from the past and carry tradition instead of going digital or automation.
We need 2 types of people. People who keep the tradition and people who advance the technologies.
Living legend & killer selector ❤️
This is one of the most important pieces I think any artist in music can hear.
Yo the name of the first track is "Galactic Ancestors" on the album titled Sound Sculptures, if anyone is interested! Go Diggin. I just found it on ITunes. The point of diggin is to not only help you find the particular song you want, but also to familiarize yourself with other works from the artist. It's a form of self education.
thanks alot man!
he sure has got some strong ideas and a great personality cant wait to hear him play - a true master of his art no doubt !
Theo - what an inspiration... Every DJ should see this...
holy shit...I'm grateful listening to this guy..simply amazing
Theo is one cool Brother
Yes I love going to the shop for a good dig!!! Instant gratification is just another perk!

Extremely thoughtful insights. Came here via Soul Jazz Records. Love the music too.

:(
I guess that fell through?
Just like his music Theo is deep cat, great insight into the man's mind. Amazing artist with integrity and honesty...
So much truth, sense and heart. Great article.
every DJ on the planet should see this. theo droppin knowledge for real.

Are you from cologne too?
Your name is credited on the record sleeve

I understand and respect what he is saying, he's quite a wise soul.
There are so many life & musical lessons in this bit. Truly lovely. Thank you Theo & Telekom for this gem!
One of the best interviews on the vinyl vs. digital debates I've ever seen.Theo is a deeep thinker and well spoken & well thought out.
Gr8 video,guys.
I could listen to the words of wisdom from cats like my bro Theo Parrish and Heiroglyphic Being forever : Would love to have a ayahuasca jam with these doods. #respect
Damn, I love Theo even more now. What a cool guy.

That is some of the wisest words I have ever heard.
Did you see our feature with Derrick May here in our Electronicbeatsvideo channel? Entertaining and lots of true words too.

This is an inspiration
Wow, thanks a lot!!
Pure Awesomeness !!!!! Preach !!!!
Education on music love it

Great video imo I put Theo Parrish as top 10-15 greatest EDM DJs that ever contribute to EDM culture his style is so unique and different from most.

How did you get on?
How did your set go?
I love the honesty and I'm rooting for you. Your the DJ so you know what's best trust yourself
Wow... the first track is just super
Me encanta, porque dice:para mi, mi opinión, yo creo...etc Esto dice mucho de él, nada de prepotencia en su opinión sobre el tema. Wow, love him❤️💪🎶
Convenience doesn't replace artistry. Facts
Thank you mr. Parrish ♡
Great video. Theo speaks the truth.
The track played around 8:00 is from Theo: Chemistry
thanks!!
this is fantastic
Theo is propably the purest example of what a DJ is and even an artist. Convenience plays indeed a huge role. If Im honest I must admit that Im a lazy basdert too. In my town there're barely no record shops at all. I do buy about 20% vinyl and 80% digital.

Vinyl is the real deal but I guess most of our generation does not have enouth discipline for it.

Theo Parish: King of the Beard Stroking Vinyl Snobs.
Very nice!

He’s preaching out here tho
what is the song at the very start, wow , its so shimmering so gorgeous.

Haha so cool, I recognised it was Amsterdam in the first few seconds. :D
(I am Dutch / from the NL.)
Rosa Bosma same I was like I know that record shop and then I saw the train go pass yup it's Amsterdam
Great Video, i have more respect for Theo every time i hear him speak!
If it ain’t broke don’t fix it. That’s my philosophy when it comes to djing.
that would be fantastic man, i hear ya
Hero
...capolavoro...

most powerful moment for me: starting at 12:18
+Gabriel Valente Ferrão theo is the man!
I have always preferred vinyl, but have stopped buying when prices got rip off.
I am cool with that because I find no good music these days to go digital anyways.
100 % Pure Poison - Puppet on a chain ... from the Coming right at you LP
I have the same question. That track sounded nice.
Wonder how many "Songs in the Key of Life" Mr. Parrish has.
G.R.A.N.D.I.O.S.O!
