DJ-KICKS: Theo Parrish - Deatroit Foward (Short Film) (Dir. Kashira Dowridge)

  •     "Detroit creates. But rarely imitates. Why? We hear and see many from other places do that with what we originate. No need to follow. Get it straight. In the Great Lakes there are always more under the surface than those that appear to penetrate the top layer of attention and recognition. What about them that defy tradition? Those that side step the inaccurate definitions often given from outside positions? This is that evidence. Enjoy." – Theo Parrish
