    Actually, he comes up on the Board at least once a year - I smiled when I saw your thread title for that reason.
    He's got his fans around here.

    theo is a great Dj has a great philosphy behind his Djing and seems like a really cool animated dude. But i'm not a fan of his production,

    Theo is pretty much SoulStrut approved. (in my mind garden atleast, I've certainly never heard any negativity towards him)[I stand corrected]

    Kenny Dixon Jr. also gets plenty of love around here.

    He's playing in Malm??, Sweden the 11th of September. Can't wait

    Funny you should mention him. I've been on a major Theo jag for a few weeks now. Also, whilst this probably ought to be in the Soundcloud thread, I thought one or two of your things bore a bit of a Theo influence.

    That Jill Scott remix still sounds so great, I'll dig that out tomorrow, almost forgot I had it! Can't wait to see him perform at the Paradiso in Amsterdam in about a month.

    Not familiar with much recent stuff that Theo's been doing as lost touch with that scene so reading this was a decent reminder that I've been wrongly sleeping on his post 2000 output. Nice article Nick, thanks for sharing.

    These are some great edits, I especially like the KDJ one, but haven't been able to find the 12" myself either.

    Theo is the man. Have seen him i think 4 times. Your favourite DJ's favourite DJ type status. I really like his take on things. Also he was probably the first DJ I ever saw live that didn't do any scratching or tricks in the mix but I was completely blown away by (this was i think 8 years ago when my mindset was very "hip hop" for want of a better way to describe it). Peace.

    wow, 20 posts and no mention of his excessive eqing.

    Don`t get me wrong I appreciate his approach to house music a lot and I like his music selection but unfortunatly his abuse of the eqs spoils everything for me.

    What do you guys think about it?

    There was a related 5pager thread on DJ history about this.

    re:this youtube



    personally, i think the youtube clip is a little hard to swallow, but if I was there in real life I think i'd probably be of a different opinion, as I've never had a problem with him doing it live.

    In fact i really enjoy it!

    the idea that theo parrish would not be a 'soulstrut approved' artist is ... hysterical. moodyman is the only house producer who would prob get more props around here
  • deejdeej 5,125 Posts
    also his eqing is awesome cmon

    he used to use a 7 band isolator a lot, he also used to tweak every track to death, it could be a bit too much at times. 7 bands with a lot of boost can be a bit hard on the eardrums at loud volume.

    at plastics nowadays he uses



    which is a lot more musical sounding and less of an assault on the ears.

    i like it when he does it, specially when he's playing acid. he really doesn't do it as much as he used to and not as much as joe claussell for example.

    Saw him in Kyoto many years ago with the 3 chairs tour. Awesome selection and hand the crowd in the palm of his hand .

    Despite this and i do dig what he does as a Dj i am not a fan of the EQuing thing.. Joe Clausell has a thing for it as well

    I think the post is about his productions, rather than he djing which is why no one has mentioned the eqing...

    That clip from the source festival cracks me up though, but I think the bad audio on the video makes it seem worse than it is...
