Theo Parrish’s house refix of Amerie’s ’1 Thing’ is now available on limited edition vinyl.

Let’s face it, the original 2005 R&B scorcher – produced by Rich Harrison and built around a sampler of The Meters’ ‘Oh, Calcutta’ – is pretty much impossible to improve. Nonetheless, Theo’s edit is hard to ignore. Rechristening it ‘Just1LoveBug’, the Detroit producer makes full use of Amerie’s airy vocal, strapping it to a steady 4/4 and uppity bassline; once you hear it, you’ll want to own it, despite the hefty price tag. It’s a single-sided pressing, courtesy of Brooklyn’s peerless Dope Jams.

The Amerie version is just one of several Theo releases hitting the market right around now. Soon to drop is the Sketches CD, an album compiling tracks from that brace of ultra-limited, blink-and-you-miss-’em spray-painted 12″s that emerged earlier this year, and a new Sound Signature 12″ with two of the best  (‘Feel Free To Be Who You Want To Be’ and 360@129on696) cut nice and loud.

Then there’s a new instalment due in Parrish’s ongoing – and eminently collectible – Ugly Edits white label series, this one featuring his takes on BT Express’s ‘Peace Pipe’ and Jacky Beavers’ ‘Mr Bumpman’. Amsterdam’s Rush Hour-affiliated Kindred Spirits imprint has secured what must rank among Theo’s heaviest, most direct dancefloor productions of recent years, the incredible ‘Traffic’ (feat. IG Culture), for a hand-stamped 12″ release; they’ve also repressed his classic, sprawling remix of Sun Ra‘s ‘Saga Of Resistance’.

Last but not least, Archive Records have a 12″ out now featuring two new versions of Tulio De Piscopo‘s cult ’84 Balearic anthem ‘Stop Bajon’. Isoul and Mark De Clive Lowe team up for an edit that plays to the original’s strengths, but needless to say the main event is Theo’s none-more-languid A-side take – all trademark drunken drums and displaced acid jabs.
