This Valentine’s Day, we invite Man for an in-depth conversation on his wild life as an openly gay man in 1970s and 80s NYC, whose teen obsession with far-out stoner ‘head music’ lead him to wield synths and beat boxes to create a futuristic groove that rocked Bronx hip hop parties, underground gay discos, and 42nd street pornohouses. These electro-funk soundtracks add an intoxicating, almost eerie tone to the heavy-duty action. Until recently, it was little known that he also applied his pulsating, hypnotic dancefloor tracks to several male adult films in the 1980s.
For the last forty years, Man Parrish has been world-renowned as a legendary and highly influential electro/Hi-NRG performer and producer.
