Celebrating 19 years of 3 Chairs with 19 classic cuts

3 Chairs is the legendary quartet of Theo Parrish, Moodymann, Rick Wilhite, and Marcellus Pittman.

Their first EP dropped in 1997, announcing the group as a new generation of Detroit artists who would add to the city's rich electronic music lineage, adding to what the likes of Derrick May, Juan Atkins, Kevin Saunderson and Robert Hood had done before them (Pittman joined in 2002 but the statement still stands).

19 years on from that seminal debut and their presence is heavier than ever. Each artist features on seemingly every festival line-up worth going to this summer and it's obviously not just Detroit that has love for these house gurus. In celebration of the classic release that changed the course of dance music, we've decided to dig in the crates to find 19 gems from their expansive catalogues, as solo artists and together as 3 Chairs.

We would be lying if we said there was a track in any of their catalogues that we weren't in love with, so this is by no means a definitive list. We will, however, guarantee that you are in for hours of musical pleasure.
