"I'm not comfortable with convenience replacing artistry" one helluva quote!

I went to art school with Theo, he is a great guy

This is why undergroud artists are the only artists I listen to. Forget that mainstream madness.

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.

The smile at 4:06 is why I dig for records. the excitement and possibility of making something that sounds amazing, in your own image.

9:09 thee most profound statement about electronic music ever.

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.

I did line dancing classes with Theo. He's a great guy.

Theo! One of the greatest to ever do it for house music! ❤

thanks so much for all these videos !!

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.

Incredibly talented & intelligent man! We love you Theo!

Yes I love going to the shop for a good dig!!! Instant gratification is just another perk!

The man took the words out of my mouth, so many times, in this video.. His words are music by themselves

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

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

Dude, this guy speaks from The heart! Amazing

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.

Thank you sharing this Theo! One

There are so many life & musical lessons in this bit. Truly lovely. Thank you Theo & Telekom for this gem!

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 !

holy shit...I'm grateful listening to this guy..simply amazing

Theo is a living legend! Keep tha vibe a-live!

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

great videos. thanks guys

love it most..mostly love how Theo talks about the music not forgetting what the man does for dance music

Living legend & killer selector ❤️

this is what i ever have wanted to see .

super video and interview. thanks!!!

Thank you mr. Parrish ♡

a master of individuality,a great vid thanx,dj expat

very very well spoken and interesting as well as being very emotive. Excellent

theo 1 of the 3 kings of deep house most dj's need to take a note r 2 frm theo,, a true great thanks for posting,,electronicbeats video:)

Pure Awesomeness !!!!! Preach !!!!

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.

this is fantastic

Great video and interview, thank you! Mr. Parrish is a huge inspiration. It's also amazing that I found a recordstore through this video in a place I visit a few times every week. I only knew Rushhour, Recordfriend and Concerto (still r.i.p. Boudisque). Will visit this place very soon!

great interview

Theo - what an inspiration... Every DJ should see this...

Theo Parrish is an intellectual artist!. No wonder why his musical work is so unique!

This is one of the most important pieces I think any artist in music can hear.

12:45 is probably the part that is most heartfelt to me. hearing something so true and smart from a hero of mine just feels so right

So much truth, sense and heart. Great article.

Just like his music Theo is deep cat, great insight into the man's mind. Amazing artist with integrity and honesty...

Music with a SERIOUS message!!!

seeing him in melbs in a couple of weeks, cannot wait. Always great to see an og of the game

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.

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.

*ALL Senses On Deck + Great Audio-Visual*

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❤️💪🎶

Very nice!

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.

Theo is one cool Brother

every DJ on the planet should see this. theo droppin knowledge for real.

love Theo

Brilliant .

Wow, thanks a lot!!

wow that his me like a smack in the face such profound words and wisdom and insight

Education on music love it

This is an inspiration

Damn, I love Theo even more now. What a cool guy.

i want a madlib/theo collab so fuckin bad

Thx!

Brilliant!

amazing interview from an intelligent artist.

great video/interview and also great selections of records by Theo, I can see Mandrilland by Mandrill !!

WOW so deep about the machine......

so KING

theo parrish, what a legend.

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.

Thank you Electronic and thank you Theo you inspiring me xD

I understand and respect what he is saying, he's quite a wise soul.

That is some of the wisest words I have ever heard.

I like your ideals Theo.

Literally heard this sampler before in a song “everyone forgot the records themselves and was worried about the mixing. & that’s more about the ego.”

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.

true words from a true master

You are in this place right now. All tracks played in this video are on youtube, search for them and you might come across other awesome stuff you wouldn't hear otherwise which to me is the essence of 'digging' ..

Interesting guy, talks a lot of wisdom.

amazing guy

Wow... the first track is just super

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

Great video. Theo speaks the truth.

love theo , luv the kerri chandler shoutou

What a don! So many quotes in this!

Pure truths. Great to see and hear!

true dat!! this man speaks sense!!

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.

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.

The track played around 8:00 is from Theo: Chemistry

p Profound knowledge! Theo Parish Big Big influence on the music seen!

Very good..

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.

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)

So true!

Convenience doesn't replace artistry. Facts

Did you see our feature with Derrick May here in our Electronicbeatsvideo channel? Entertaining and lots of true words too.
