"Introducing Detroit-based Theo Parrish's newest two-track EP. Traffic Jams is Parrish's response to stagnation and nonmovement. In his own words: 'Traffic Jams are really coagulation and inflammation in the body. Mental stresses are Traffic Jams. Moments where there is no flow are all due to Traffic Jams. Within the mind fear and doubt are Traffic Jams.' The first song of the EP, 'Positive Mental Attitude Solves All,' is a tribute to the eternal elder and stalwart, Amp Fiddler. Both songs on the EP put together become 'Positive Mental Attitude Solves All Traffic Jams.'"

"The newest addition to the Sound Signature Catalog. This marks the 100th release on the label. The inspiration for Skin Breaker comes from years of watching sci-fi films. Howard Thomas has always been fascinated by them. As a huge fan of '80s beat tracks and '80s sci-fi, he aimed to blend those influences into this project. This project is a tribute to the sounds and styles that have inspired him."

"Theo Parrish is a master crafter of a decidedly elusive brand of dance music, which is rare. Most sounds that identify as 'dance music' take bold measures to make their intentions known, but Parrish's sound -- an odd, insinuating kind of house music -- counts as more-suggestive and sly, with subtle textural rubs and beats that register as ellipses more than exclamation points. Parrish's is a message that arrives by way of coded whispers and hums. One of the byproducts of Parrish's elusiveness is that you have to work a little to hear him. This makes for a special kind of disconnect where newcomers might be left to wonder what Parrish partisans (and there are many) find to fetishize in tracks that play like little more than sketchy drafts or protracted sashays. The keys to the enterprise are patience and an abiding sense of a project at work -- a cunning, cumulative project that rewards immersion more than immediacy. All of which makes Sound Sculptures Volume 1 an ideal way to hear Parrish in his many moods. Parrish rarely lays off the EQ, and his tracks are all the better for it. The smallest adjustments of sound -- upticks of treble on the drums, changes of emphasis on a vocal, the accentuation and/or subtraction of pretty much everything in play at any given moment -- make what might sound like the simplest tracks spellbinding over time. And they lend Sound Sculptures a casual, easygoing sense of something always happening, as in 'They Say,' a sensuous soul song (with cooed vocals by MonicaBlaire) that sounds like IDM but way less mannered -- like Aphex Twin made by back-porch means. 'The Rink' amps up the energy to rollerskating speed (with a sample of Marvin Gaye) and 'Synthetic Flemm' (made with fellow Detroit weird-house hero Omar-S) enlists an aggressive acid line. But even at his most immediate, Parrish is graced by a sense of withholding that proves all the more generous and expressive over time." -- Andy Battaglia/Pitchfork

SS 082EP

"The Detroit electronic music landscape could, in a broad sense, be described as the land of Cybotron and Dilla. Futuristic takes on soul music with drum machines and synthesizers are the rudiments of this forward-thinking musicianship. Jason Hogans is a prime example, drawing on different genres to make engaging music for the mind and body. On Malletts Creek, his debut EP for Sound Signature, elements of dub combine with complex polyrhythmic drum machine workouts. It's an honest, evolutionary take on breakbeats -- many others try to use breaks in an interesting manner, but rarely do these experiments sound as coherent and enjoyable as on Malletts Creek." --Resident Advisor
