KERRI CHANDLER @ DRAGON I

Kerri ‘Kaoz’ Chandler  (New Jersey)

one of the worlds most respected producers

feel the real spirit of house music  
 

Kerri 'Kaoz' Chandler one of deep house music's originators has been injecting soul into music since the early nineties. He is a house legend, icon, inspiration, key figure, and a true House Music Purveyor. An ambassador of the natural and instinctive 4/4 beat, Kerri's influences can be traced back to New Jersey growing up in a family of jazz musicians. His father being a respected deejay, provided Kerri with a rich background in the origins of soul, disco and the New York Underground Sound (known also as "Garage" music). Accompanying his father to the gigs, Kerri began playing records at the Rally Record Club in East Orange, New Jersey at the tender age of thirteen. Exposed to such musical creativity, it wasn't long before Kerri found himself interested in production. 
 

Kerri is fascinated by technology and its application to creativity. He has built his own studio and spends hours creating new EFX units and sound machines. Taking a fearless leap into millennium technology, he has recently innovated new tools and employed creative ideas designed to revolutionize the way we think of traditional deejay mixing. Kerri uses his deejay sets to inject a spirit into the dance floor. More than a mere deejay spinning records, his sets are "live" during which he remixes tracks whenever he can by incorporating , video edits, reel to reels, keyboards, vocalists, percussionists, guitars, violins, horns, projector screens, laser synths or just his own excellent soulful voice. Armed with 2 lap top computers, thousands of music files, his own handmade mini-mixer and a cutting-edge imagination, Kerri has been wowing audiences around the globe while inspiring debate and envy in top industry circles about his new toys. 
 

If you think all house sounds the same, has no soul and is just four to the floor, then I suggest you do some rethinking and check out Kerri’s latest releases and back catalogue. You’ll be glad you did!
