    • 3. Sweet Sticky
    • 4. Paradise Architechts
    • 5. Love Is War For Miles

    Finally repressed! Recorded in 1998 and spanning the deepest moments in House, jazz, dub, electronics, melody and soul, “First Floor” is almost 20 years old yet still sets the template for much of the dance-floor aesthetic of the modern era. Parrish’s ingenious use of drum programming and effects add-ons tie each track together just the way a great DJ should. Part 1 includes the excellent “Sweet Sticky," and "Paradise Architects," driven by distorted, scratchy, trance-inducing sample snippets borrowed from disco and jazz-funk. Classic, forward-thinking, Detroit house music!
