J.T. replied to me:
i think theo's productions have so much more depth in them then any other
house producer out there.
hmm well he has his own feeling which is a very nice one. he is very good
with those yearning rhodes keys, and samples...but overall i think kdj
wipes the floor with theo. he has a much bigger range, from straight up
house like his soulcity record, to techno like analog live and some of the
more recent stuff. he is the more talented sound designer by far. not that
theo isn't talented but his stuff is more in the realm of soundscapes,
which doesnt make his music any less beautiful but i just dont think it is
in the same area as kdj...who knows maybe its not fair to compare, they
have pretty different approaches really, usually. soundscapes take a
different kind of sound design and production that maybe i just don't get
as excited by. i have far more great kdj music than theo p music tho and i
didnt pick up a s.sig from drunken drums until this new one. i think they
are mostly too "nice" sounding, tame..
ok, i think i mostly agree here.
you're absolutely right about kdj being more diverse.
theo makes either soundscapes or tracks that are somewhere in between
soundscapes and songs. whereas kdj covers a much wider range.
i guess i'm just a sucker for those soundscapes :) and to be honest, i'm not
that into theo's more songbased releases, usually the ones that get most
attention, are my least favorite releases ['friendly children' and 'solitary
flight' for instance]
for those other theo parrish 'fans' out there, there's an interview with
theo up on http://www.overloadmedia.co.uk some might find it interesting.
for those moodymann 'fans'... erm, i've got a promo copy of amp fiddler's
'superstitious' release up on ebay, and it's got a kdj remix! did i mention
it was a promo? you want this, so go and make me rich ;^)
