Thank u 🙏🏾 for doing the Lord's work 😅❤️

[@stephencain8140]

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

[@feedingstation6277]

Seems like a very smart, thoughtful, eloquent person.

[@oh_rhythm]

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

[@ElectronicBeatsTV]

From one helluva of a guy!

[@oh_rhythm]

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.

[@nileb0y2241j]

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

[@romulus_]

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.

[@jordanbrown3887]

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

[@EncourageSquirt]

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.

[@dh7493]

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

[@braxe1000]

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

[@dianaangelflower6202]

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.

[@BobSayG]

First track played in this video “Galactic Ancestor” is one of the timeless best electronic music.

[@benbauer1065]

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.

[@t.ist666]

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?

[@elektromorales3471]

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.

[@elektromorales3471]

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

[@nobodyneverknows]

as who ? vinyl artist ? :D

[@ChitlinsLaundry]

Incredibly talented & intelligent man! We love you Theo!

[@ElectronicBeatsTV]

It was never away ;-)

[@snares3326]

thanks so much for all these videos !!

[@roxcbrown8821]

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

[@MangaGoodsoul]

Thank you sharing this Theo! One

[@alaskaapenas]

Dude, this guy speaks from The heart! Amazing

[@AbstructureTube]

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

[@crichta]

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

[@amontri3246]

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

[@luigialberici2411]

There are levels to the game.

[@dirdeepinradio495]

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

[@therobinbolt]

Living legend & killer selector ❤️

[@Krazythedj]

Thank you mr. Parrish ♡

[@robertosimpa]

[@JuanR0d]

[@malcolmgoldie]

great interview

[@shanedarcy338]

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 !

[@uraganetarou]

this is what i ever have wanted to see .

[@tbates860]

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

[@lordleaf4534]

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

[@TheWidowsWeeds]

this is fantastic

[@glennarkton3735]

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

[@ElectronicBeatsTV]

Glenn Arkton did you see this video about him - kzbin.info/www/bejne/boquZKOGpZKprsU

[@Nurvington]

super video and interview. thanks!!!

[@Phylopn]

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!

[@dylaforever]

So much truth, sense and heart. Great article.

[@boofather]

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

[@byrondodson4713]

Theo is one cool Brother

[@CS-sf1rz]

Very nice!

[@ElectronicBeatsTV]

Wow, thanks a lot!!

[@Eveningmedley]

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

[@BobSayG]

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.

[@dhoshi55]

Music with a SERIOUS message!!!

[@BahamasSoulRadio]

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

[@rippedtorn2310]

Brilliant .

[@oddio95]

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.

[@delandish]

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

[@elliotrobinson888]

[@lindacopping]

[@oscarblack7624]

[@vinylhunter8316]

:(

[@all20790]

I guess that fell through?

[@ijuswannatlk2sampson889]

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

[@MrDjunknown1]

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

[@BKinNY]

Brilliant!

[@cooltigermusic]

This is an inspiration

[@discoverydavid]

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.

[@acooke]

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

[@matthewmuli487]

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

[@Latete]

so KING

[@lucamontefiori4128]

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

[@arod2211]

Great video. Theo speaks the truth.

[@mikeysiy]

amazing interview from an intelligent artist.

[@iLive123]

Thx!

[@limeyamos]

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

[@Lazersweat]

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.

[@nefrettitim]

*ALL Senses On Deck + Great Audio-Visual*

[@roxcbrown8821]

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

[@TheBluehood23]

Just a different view, people in Europe also work in factories. To me the way is see it is: I work I. A factory and I hear the same sounds every day, and then I am like hold on wow this could be used to make a track and I'm like wow these machines really inspire me. So that I'm my point of view for example.

[@VjDiRossi]

Thank you Electronic and thank you Theo you inspiring me xD

[@GKCTPP]

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

[@morganman2015]

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.

[@AssassinsGR]

thanks alot man!

[@deejaysoulution]

amazing guy

[@erikposnikoff4689]

Education on music love it

[@jonatkinson108]

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.”

[@joe14ogrady]

what track

[@courtneyliebe]

true words from a true master

[@payupsucka321]

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

[@Pikkiomania]

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

[@sirsirdrone]

theo parrish, what a legend.

[@benji.B-side]

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

[@Bonky-wonky]

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' ..

[@XPRMNTLABS]

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

[@pashmiller1]

Wow... the first track is just super

[@user-xu4xw6jm7d]

love theo , luv the kerri chandler shoutou

[@underyourskins]

Very good..

[@andrewp1075]

Interesting guy, talks a lot of wisdom.

[@felixdadeathcat]

[@keithko007]

[@TheBodyRockSA]

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.

[@hugworker]

legend :)

[@Natalia-ux3or]

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❤️💪🎶

[@romain448]

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.

[@alpalmer2228]

How did you get on?

[@neles74]

How did your set go?

[@djbluejazz7349]

I love the honesty and I'm rooting for you. Your the DJ so you know what's best trust yourself

[@DJMTRAXXX]

well put brotha Theo...

[@ElectronicBeatsTV]

Of course all tracks in the feature are Theo Parrish tracks. Just go digging! ;-)

[@Olesmit]

that would be fantastic man, i hear ya

[@lemon78lomon78]

Haha! Was thinking the same, everytime I see an interview with him he always just bought a copy!
