13 Theo Parrish 'Ebonics'
Our favourite Theo sample, in what is an overwhelming discography of amazing sample flips, is the dialogue that brings in 'Ebonics' and goes on to appreciate the "expressive, vivid, living language" that is "black dialect".
"If we reject it, how little have we gained, and how much have we lost," the voice says and from there it's nothing less than an education on how to make house music. A characteristically raw set of kicks and hi-hats drive the track as the vocal sample weaves in and out, and by the end of the near 13 minute run the track is enveloped in a host of synths that had us feeling nostalgic at our first listen.
If this one tickles your fancy check the excellent 'Moonlight Music & You' EP that dropped the previous year.
