Theo Parrish set to release DJ-Kicks compilation later this month
House legend Theo Parrish has been named as the latest custodian of the DJ-Kicks mix series, with DJ-Kicks: Detroit Forward set to land later this month on !K7.
Featuring artists such as Meftah, KESSWA, De’Sean Jones & Ideeyah, Raj Mahal, Howard Thomas, Detroit Forward is entirely comprised of brand new material, making it the first ever all exclusive entry to the esteemed series.
Commenting on the compilation, Parrish said, “Detroit creates. But rarely imitates. Why? We hear and see many from other places do that with what we originate. No need to follow. Get it straight.
“In the Great Lakes there are always more under the surface than those that appear to penetrate the top layer of attention and recognition. What about them that defy tradition? Those that side step the inaccurate definitions often given from outside positions? This is that evidence. Enjoy.”
The album will be released in 2CD mix, digital album and 3LP vinyl editions, and lands on 28 October. The CD track listing can be found below. More information can be found here.
