Rick wilhite and his vibes new&rare music record store have been a main source in detroit for over 17 years. his store is the place to go for many detroiters looking for new soulful, electronic music. and as a dj and promoter rick has been holding it down for years. next to that he mostly known for his affiliation with three chairs (together with kenny dixon jr & theo parrish) and for his solo recordings, under his the godson pseudo. now its time for rick to get his peers and friends in the mix for his first compilation, aptly titled vibes new&rare music. the compilation is spread out over four 12”s, which will be followed by a compilation cd with exclusive tracks and features only the best of chicago and detroit electronic music. all tracks are new and exclusive. the second release brings rick’s long time friend and fellow 3chairs producer theo parrish to the table. theo gives us an adventurous ride like only theo can. starting out on a blues tip, this track morphs into a string laden jazz affair without missing a beat. epic stuff! on the b-side it’s a one-way ride to chicago with ricardo miranda blasting on the car stereo. this relative newcomer, who has recorded for hour house is your rush and vega records, really outdoes himself on ‘urbanism’. as we cruise into town, heading straight to lakeshore drive, this track kicks off so soulful, yet so raw! it reminds us of the best days of prescription underground, on which this easily could have been released. addictive. rick is simply getting the best these artists have to offer. are you ready for the next? it’s a trip!
