Detroit has been credited as one of the Soul Music capitals
of the world, spawning legendary artists like The Four
Tops, Marvin Gaye and Diana Ross just to name a few. Within
the past decade Detroit's Underground Music Movement has
brought rise to new artists such as Derrick May, Juan
Atkins, Carl Craig, Kevin Saunderson and a host of others.
But unlike the aforesaid names, Terrence Parker has
established himself as a producer, remixer and DJ of the
classic sound of House Music instead to Techno.
As of January 2002, Terrence Parker has performed as a DJ
in more than 100 cities throughout the world. He currently
holds several resident DJ positions in several clubs
including Dockland Club in Muenster Germany, System Sound
Bar in Toronto Canada, Club Spiral in Lansing Michigan, and
Rotation in Iowa City Iowa. Since 1988, he has released
more than 100 recordings, and had top 20 hits in the U.K.,
The Netherlands, Germany, and France.
Terrence Parker began his musical career as a Hip Hop DJ
known as "DJ Mixmaster X" in 1982. Over the years,
Terrence's unique mixing talents won him many awards and
trophies both in the club circles as well as host of his
own radio show. He was offered many promising opportunities
in radio, but TP (as he is commonly known) wanted to do
more! In 1988 along with Marc Kinchen and Lou Robinson,
Terrence recorded his first release "We Need Somebody"
under the name Separate Minds. During this period, people
often referred to Mr. Parker as "TP" because of the credit
listing on the recording. Thus, he no longer decided to use
the "DJ Mixmaster X" alias!
In 1990 Terrence recorded his first solo EP entitled "TP1"
( now a classic) which sparked his solo career. Two years
later, "Hold On" firmly established Terrence as one of the
dance community's hottest producers. Later, Terrence
recorded under various aliases such as Disciples of Jovan
Blade, Plastic Soul Junkies, Lost Articles, Madd Phlavor,
Disco Revisited and Minimum Wage Brothers just to name a
few. But in 1993 his Seven Grand Housing Authority alias
recorded and released a track entitled "The Question" which
drew massive response from dancefloors throughout the
world! Later, Terrence signed a recording deal with
Network's Six by 6 / Sony Music label in the U.K.
In 1995, Terrence reestablished, and now records
exclusively for his Intangible Records & Soundworks label
(first established in 1993 ), while Makin' Madd and Makin'
Phat Records are new additions to his record making unit;
each focusing on a specific and unique form of music!
"I'm hoping", TP says, "that my associated labels can
provide for myself as well as other artists, an outlet to
release good music without the politics that unfortunately
dominate this business of music!"
There were many releases in `95 that did well in the clubs
and dance charts worldwide like Disco Revisited's "Crab
Legs EP", Terrence Parker's "Emancipation Of My Soul", and
Kenny Dixon Jr's "Emotional Content". But it was "Love's
Got Me High" by the highly acclaimed Seven Grand Housing
Authority that put Intangible respectfully on the map. At
the time of writing this article, "Love's Got Me High"
appears on many CD compilations.
Fresh Fruit Recordings in Holland has also released 12inch
singles which include remixes, and has received high chart
positions in many dance charts worldwide - including
Holland's national `pop chart!! Major League DJs like Tony
Humphries of New York's Hot 97 FM, England's Paul `Trouble
Anderson of KISS FM, Germany's TREIBHAUS show of WDR radio,
KEYS TO THE HOUSE with DJ Mark `The Lark Dickerson of K. U.
O. P. radio in California, and Detroit's own Kim James of
WJLB FM 98, helped to make this track a success, and are
regular supporters of Intangible releases.
Terrence has also released two very successful album
projects with Germany's Studio K7 Records. "Tragedies Of A
Plastic Soul Junkie", which was both TP's first full length
LP release on K7 and for himself personally, featured the
hit single "Emancipation Of My Soul" (a huge dance hit in
the U.K. resulting from it's original release on
Intangible). His second album released in 1997 entitled
"Detroit After Dark" was one of his best accomplishments,
and featured the singles "You Can Do It" (a dance hit in
France), and "Play-Ah Hate-Ah", which became so popular
that it caught the attention from one of Europe's most
famous music composer's of television and film from the
1960s - Peter Thomas, who later did a remix of Terrence's
track. This remix now appears on several compilations
including K7's Freestyle Files series (Vol. # 4).
Intangible also cooperated with K7 Records in releasing two
very successful Hip Hop compilations entitled "Three Minute
Blunts" (Volumes 1 & 2). This concept, which was conceived
and developed by Terrence Parker featured the music from
several unknown Hip Hop producers from Detroit and from TP
himself. Each song was approximately 3 minutes in length,
and had a huge influence on many Hip Hop & Trip Hop artists
throughout Europe.
Terrence Parker is equally known for his DJing talents! To
see Terrence DJ live is an incredible experience. Although
often compared to fellow Detroit native, comrade, and
international Techno king Jeff Mills, and Chicago DJ
veteran Bad Boy Bill, TP's magical DJing skills, tricks,
cutting and scratching often lead people to compare him
with some of the worlds best Hip Hop DJs. This
international DJ extraordinare has been DJing now for 18
years (while making records for 12 years), and has
performed as a DJ for clubs and radio stations in numerous
countries throughout the world and continues to do so on a
regular basis. In fact, since October of 1995, Terrence has
played more in Germany than any other place in the world,
including Detroit! France, England, Scotland, Switzerland,
and The Netherlands are just a few of the countries where
TP has performed as a DJ in addition to playing here in the
U.S. and Canada.
One reason for TP's popularity as a DJ comes from the many
mix CDs he has released over the years. From the British
and Japanese release of "These Grooves Are Serious" CD on
Serious Grooves/Sony Music, to the legendary "Building
Blocks" CD on Intellinet, to his independently releases of
"Classic TP Mix" CDs (volumes 1 thru 5), Terrence has
developed a loyal following which is evident by the huge
audiences he attracts world wide.
Now viewed as one of the most exciting labels in Detroit,
TP's Intangible Records now plans to focus more on formats
that appeal to a wide audience. The label's goal is to
release 12 singles on a more consistent basis, as well as
releasing its own CD compilations and full length LP's &
CD's for its artists. "We realize that the majority of our
sales result from the DJs supporting & buying our records,"
says Terrence, "but now we would like to make our releases
available on CD and other formats so that our non-djing
supporters can enjoy our music without having to know a DJ
who can put the various songs on tape for them, or find our
music on other CD compilations from other companies!"
Intangible also plans to focus on other styles of music,
such as Hip Hop, and Acid Jazz. Terrence's third full
length release entitled "My Studio Sessions Vol. #1" was an
exclusive limited edition CD available now on Intangible
Records (released Nov. 1998) and features 14 brand new
songs. Four of those songs are now featured on his new 6
track mini LP entitled "Strong Songs" which is to be
released on Chisel Records (label home of Chicago legend
L.A. Williams) in February 1999!
The first Intangible release in almost two years:
"Spreading Love" by the Seven Grand Housing Authority
(released in July of `99) was buzzing the clubs of Ibiza
(Spain), Mallorca (Spain) along with several clubs
throughout Germany in 1999. It was rated House Single of
The Month in Germany's top dance music publication -
RAVELINE Magazine.
In March of 2000 TP released the single, "I Wanna F.F.U.",
which was one of the BUZZ tunes for the 2000 Winter Music
Conference in Miami. It was released on limited edition
White Opaque Vinyl with the Seven Grand Housing Authority
classic "Love's Got Me High" on the flip side.
In January 2001, TP started a weekly mix show called the
Dance Emporium, which can be heard each week over the
internet at www.MOCRadio.com. His show at this website now
has more than 50,000 hits each week.
In July 2001, TP launched a new label called REAL RIGHT
RECORDINGS as a division of Intangible Records &
Soundworks. The first release being a CD compilation
entitled, "Major Ice Volume # 1". This project is a
collection of relaxing "chillout" music which features
unreleased productions by TP himself, as well as music from
up and coming artists such as Kent Williams of Iowa City,
Iowa, and Jordache from Tel Aviv, Israel.
In October 2001, TP's re-edit of Stacy Kidd's (from
Chicago) hit single "Junk Yard Funk" was the first vinyl
release on Real Right Recordings.
