Terrence Parker @ Fuse-IN/DEMF 2005 (Highlights) Part .. 2
This is a great video demonstrating how records are made!
HOUSE IS A FEELING, and THIS is how to DANCE to HOUSE MUSIC!!!
MORE HOUSE DANCING!!!
Sounds Like
The legendary Mr. Ron Murphy mastered almost every record I've ever made . I've also had the true pleasure of learning a lot from this man of many great accomplisments including the mastering of the classic Motown sound, the sound of Detroit Techno, and the inventor of the one sided double grooved record (where you can play 2 different songs on the same side of a record)!
One of the main things Ron taught me was in order to truly support music from Detroit artists I should purchase their music. This is why I never concerned myself with getting promos. To this day, if I like a song I will buy it rather than ask for a free copy (especially when it concerns my friends in the music industry).
GOD places people in our life for a specific reason. It was an honor to know him. I will miss Ron, but I will never forget Ron!
INTERNATIONAL DJ EXTRAORDINAIRE, MR. TERRENCE PARKER
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, and is known as a pioneer of the Inspirational / Gospel House movement!
Terrence Parker has performed as a DJ in more than 150 cities throughout the world. Since 1988, he has released more than 100 recordings, and had top 20 hits with his songs "Love's Got Me High", "The Question" and albums like "Detroit After Dark" in the U.K., The Netherlands, Germany, and France. As one of the headliners for the 2004 Detroit Movement Festival (May 2004), TP (along with his friend & Detroit legend DJ Mo Reese) performed a stunning Tagteam DJ set on 4 turntables with 2 live vocalists for a crowd of over 100,000 people. As part of the Detroit Historical Museum's History of Techno International Exhibit, TP's collective musical works and pioneering efforts have been recognized as a valuable contribution to Detroit's music history, as well as the International History Dance Music. This exhibit is currently touring museums throughout the United States.
TP's incredible DJing talents can be heard regularly on Detroit FM Radio's CHANNEL 955 "The Pulse" (Detroit's No 1 Pop Radio Station). Furthermore, TP produces several DJ mix shows (including The Inspirational House Mix Show), which can be heard on FM, Internet, and Satellite/Digital Radio stations in the UK, BRAZIL, SWITZERLAND, GREECE, GERMANY, FRANCE, TURKEY, NORWAY, and JAPAN.
Terrences most recent remix projects are currently topping charts and driving dancefloors all over the world. Some of his most recent remix projects include such popular artists as Kelly Rowland, Vickie Winans, Michelle Williams, Trinitee 5:7, Upper Street (of MTV Europe's "Totally Boyband" Show), The Anointed Pace Sisters, Afro-beat legend Tony Allen, Chris Brown, Kanye West, Christina Aguilera, Shaun Escoffery , Ce Ce Winans, Dr. Charles Hayes & The Cosmopolitan Church Of Prayer Choir, Genuwine, Omarion, and Amerie. Furthermore, TP has also been busy working on his own projects with artists Coco Street and Darnell Kendricks. These artists and more are featured on TPs new Inspirational House Music label called TPMT Music, established with long time friend and fellow DJ Maurice Turner (aka DJ Mo Reese).
Terrence Parker is definitely still in the game, and better than ever. Some people call TP the "Telephone Man" because he uses an actual telephone as headphones. We call him the "Telephone Man" because he has answered the CALL to bring us music to feed our souls!
