Podcast SummaryDez Parkes Playing The Best In Soul, Funk, Jazz, Rare Cuts, Dub, Old Skool & New Skool... About DezDez Parkes, compiler, collector, producer, DJ is one of the UKs most knowledgeable sources of music information, based in the nations capital. Some people say he is a walking encyclopedia on music. For 30 years Dez has monitored the changing face of entertainment as a dancer, deejay and label owner. Dezs passion for music began as a young child growing up in a collectors environment: his father was a record collector covering all aspects of black music and Dez himself ventured into this intriguing world in his early teens. In the early 70s he started dancing in the underground clubs with groups and became something of a fixture at the infamous Crackers, Birds Nest and the Whisky A Go Go (today known as The Wag), to name but a few, where under the tag Unknown Kwantity he became responsible for getting the party going. Dezs first deejay spot was to cover for the resident deejay Sonny at the Whisky, amongst others. Then came a liaison with another vinyl spinner, Trevor Shakes, and Dez and Trevor eventually teamed up to kick off the underground club, Spats. Running for some three years the club built an enviable reputation and anybody who was anybody and many of todays significant names attended to soak up the music and atmosphere. Further stints at Browns and The Maze (a.k.a Upstairs at Ronnies (Scotts)) kept his reputation flying high. In 1987 Dez was approached by RCA to compile and launch the Rare series of albums, which was undisputedly responsible for starting the whole rare groove revival. The first release went straight into the national album charts at no. 75 - (this was a real ground breaker for underground rare black music in this country). Four further volumes were released plus a Best Of. The series was also responsible for containing numerous breaks, beats, samples and loops. On the back of this series he then compiled Motown Rate Grooves and Prelude One, again for RCA. At the same time Dez was working on some of the capitals pirate radio stations including WBLS, Dance FM and Laser. During this very busy period Dez and several associates launched TUF (The Underground Family) Records and kicked off with a cover of Sweet Charles Yes Its You by Diana Brown & The Brothers which proved to be a major underground club hit: the group went on to become The Brand New Heavies. TUF Records following projects by Zinc and Rodeo Jones were received reasonably well, but following a hip-hop excursion from East Side Connection (which also rocked the label) the company was, alas, wound up. Dezs next liaison was with Ace Records where he compiled The Best of Pleasure Vols I and II. Further compilations for Ace followed namely All Spice, Jazz Collective and The Best of Pucho and the Latin Soul Brothers. Dez was later approached by Mastercuts and was asked to compile a couple of albums for them. What followed were Classic Rare Groove Vol.1 and Classic Rare Groove Vol.2. Dez continued to work in various areas of the music industry and continues to do so to this very day. He currently holds approximately 50,000 records in his collection.
