theo parrish

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
 
Hello friends,





I like Theo Parrish. He has made some good music and he is a good DJ.





Kindly,


parallax

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...





 
Noticed this clip of Joe Clausell on that DJH thread.











British DJs really are so much more reserved. A lot of techno guys used to be almost as entertaining to watch as they were to listen/dance to - Jeff Mills tossing records over his shoulder after playing about eight bars of them, Claude Young playing shit backwards/upside down...

ouch, he really killed the vibe with that transition into the next song. Wasn't expecting that from a so-called professional?

he should have triple-click flared into that next record.
 
he should probably take djing advice from soulstrut poster burns





or use serato & just let it take care of itself like a 'professional'
 
i find his excessive use of volume more annoying than the eqing. i know alot of people think the louder the better but im too old for that ish!





all that aside hes still one of my favorite djs on the planet and im not even a big house fan. dont know how he stays so excited and animated while djing 6 hr sets night after night.
