The Cover Mix: Kerri Chandler

If you're a fan of house music, or even dance music for that matter, then it's nearly impossible that you haven't heard of Kerri Chandler. The US icon has contributed to the scene for over two decades and his dedication to evolving and innovating the genre is unparalleled. As relevant today as he ever was, Chandler has been steeped in DJing since he was a boy and as he mourns the passing of his first and biggest influence, we have celebrated one of our most timeless pioneers.

Tracks like 'Atmosphere', 'The Mood' and 'You're In My System' have set dancefloors alight since their conception and with Kerri at the helm of both Madhouse and Mad Tech Records, his finger is as on the pulse as it ever was.

In 2015 he launched yet another label called Kaoz Theory and the compilation that backed it featured the likes of Seth Troxler, Chez Demier, Detroit Swindle and Matthias Tanzmann, an indication of the kind of company the king likes to keep.

As an artist that's never compromised or faltered in his vision, Chandler is a name that will live on for the rest of time. Alongside Knuckles, Levan and Hardy, Kerri Chandler is a king and his cover mix is a perfect, extended example of the legacy he will lead. The two hour mix features 35 tracks of absolute gold.

It's a bumping house voyage that features tracks from S-Man, Art Department, Apollonia and The Martinez Brothers. Listen below and it goes without saying that we should all: hail to the king.
