rotating assembly is a band put together by theo parrish. this loose detroit outfit evolves around 21 people, who exchange talents and energy. all tracks are written and produced and masterminded by theo parrish, who has given them his (sound) signature sound a true sound signature release. artists included in the band are: genevieve (known for vocals with recloose), maat lo (aka billy lo), marcellus pittman (recorded/djs for/with 3 chairs), rick wilhite (3 chairs), warren harris (recorded with dan curtin), andres. also newcomers such as karen bosco (most vocals) john dougalas (trumpet), king sunshine & trent mitchell (double bass) put in incredible effort to make this release a top sound signature title. from the laidback vocal tune naturally to the instrumental emotions of melt its all there to make this album an allround one. from strength to strength, theo parrish takes it to the next level, once again. the first 12 inch comes with an exclusive instrumental mix of melt.

lfm (love for music) or more commonly known as stilove4music is back with a straight banger from detroit and what a treat it is. with countless releases under his belt and with kdj, theo parrish & marcellus pittman under the 3 chairs moniker, the godson aka rick wilhite is already a legend in his own right. his productions are simply unique. can you feel me is ricks second offering for lfm. it is a deep, relentless detroit house joint perfect for the late late night set. dj marquis – a newcomer on the detroit house scene – set things straight with a soulful house jewel – head over heels that somehow should make any new jersey producer worried for a minute. finally, tj dumas, one of the creator of the beatdown crew, set things straight with his personal vision of disco. these are the lost tracks from detroit, songs made by detroiters for detroits sweaty dancefloors. enjoy a rare piece of music. ltd backstock
