Theo Parrish’s debut album First Floor, originally released in 1998, is a landmark in house music history. Split across two vinyl volumes to maximise its club utility, it captures the raw, bluesy and soulful edge that has defined Parrish’s singular vision.
Built from innovative drum programming, offbeat grooves and minimalist elements woven into taut, hypnotic structures, First Floor has long been regarded as a contemporary classic. Its textures and rhythms transcend genre boundaries, shaping the sound of electronic music well beyond house circles.
A defining statement from an auteur who continues to push the form, First Floor is essential listening for anyone drawn to music that grooves as deeply as it innovates.
