First Floor

First Floor is house deliberately mixed wrong and better for it, Theo Parrish's founding double LP and one of Detroit's most distinctive statements. He built dusty, raw, hypnotic tracks that ignore the rules of clean production entirely, and the whole thing has a hand-made warmth that polish would have destroyed. It ranks at a hundred and four because its rawness is an acquired taste, but for those who acquire it, few records are this rewarding.
