If you have encountered Parrish Smith in the club, even the faintest memory of it can still make your heart race. Speed, sex, steel, sweat, suicide… they’re all commonly used to describe the artist’s universe. Consequently, it might come as a surprise that our next collaboration with the DJ and producer, unveiled during Dekmantel Connects, is of an ambient nature. Get to know him better, however, and you’ll understand that Parrish Smith is an explorer at heart – a heart that can bleed into any genre, sound, feeling or situation. Averse to being boxed in, the key to Parrish Smith is self-searching and self-expression. And whether the medium is all-analogue industrial, a soundtrack guided by spoken word, or full-throttle techno with a dose of Sepultura, his message is one of full devotion to music’s innermost realms.
