    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 - classic, forward-thinking, Detroit house music!
