Originally released in 1998, Theo Parrish’s debut album First Floor stands as one of the most influential works in house music. Issued in two vinyl volumes for DJs and dancers alike, its raw, blues-tinged grooves quickly became essential listening within the underground.
Parrish’s inventive drum programming and use of effects created a sound both loose and tightly coiled, building hypnotic structures from minimalist elements. The result is a record that not only defined his legendary status but also crossed far beyond house circles, inspiring musicians and listeners across genres.
A cornerstone release with enduring power, First Floor remains a timeless example of soulful, boundary-shifting electronic music.
