Detroit DJ/producer Theo Parrish chats about his life and work with Mike Rubin

Theo Parrish recent sat down with music journalist Mike Rubin for an extensive discussion for Blank Forms Radio.  

Here's the scoop from Blank Forms Radio...

Lawrence Kumpf is joined by veteran music journalist Mike Rubin for a survey of the music of producer, remixer, and Detroit house legend Theo Parrish. The pair will spin a selection of Parrish’s work, on the occasion of the release of Blank Forms 09: Sound Signatures, the organization’s penultimate journal. The book, available for purchase at the Blank Forms table, features a transcription of a career-spanning, twenty-hour conversation between Rubin and Parrish, going deep on the latter’s childhood in Chicago’s South Side, sculptural training, and how the social movements of 2020 have reshaped his practice and dance music at large. Listen to the 2-hour show right here.

Blank Forms is a nonprofit organization supporting emerging and historically significant artists who produce work across disciplines, often rooted in traditions of experimental and creative music. We aim to establish new frameworks to preserve, nurture, and present these artists’ work and to build platforms for practices underrepresented in art’s commercial, institutional, and historical fields. Blank Forms collaborates with artists on commissions, exhibitions, publications as well as archival and estate projects within contemporary cultural ecosystems and in perpetuity. In presenting and documenting this work, Blank Forms seeks to foster an artistic community founded upon engaged and equitable conversations across continents, media, and generations.
