2011: ‘Intermezzo’ EP (Madhouse Records Inc)
Hot on the heels of the ‘Ozone’ EP came these four tracks, also on Madhouse. Skip the first, ‘We Are Here (Kaoz Stressin Me)’, which sees Chandler complaining about his resurgent success. Instead, cut straight to the DC10 mix of ‘So It Begins Again’, a tribal workout coloured with droning strings and a choir of dark harmonies. It perfectly captures the spirit of the place it was written for.
2014: ‘The Watergate Files’ (Watergate)
Chandler’s links to Berlin go deeper than just playing the city’s clubs. His long-term friend and sometime collaborator Jerome Sydenham started his Ibadan label in New York but then moved it to the German capital. He features on the Afrobeat-flavoured ‘Mama’, which first appeared as an exclusive on Chandler’s excellent instalment of the Watergate mix series. The standalone release also includes the acidy ‘Think Of Something’.
