Parallel Dimensions

Theo Parrish makes deep house hand-played and slightly unstable on Parallel Dimensions. 'Summertime Is Here' takes twelve minutes and never once tightens up. Raw samples, off-kilter timing and soulful grooves hold it loose and the floor is never sacrificed.

Swing pushed to the edge of collapse and dust used as a compositional value. Parrish handles time the way a jazz drummer does, which is why producers take these records apart rather than simply enjoying them.
