Kerri Chandler

Deep House

HEADLINER

Kerri Chandler is not just a house legend, he is one of the actual architects of deep house as people understand it today. Coming out of New Jersey, he helped define that soulful, emotionally rich, groove-led end of house music in a way that still feels alive rather than frozen in history. What makes Chandler so revered is that his music has always had real feeling in it: warm keys, weighty drums, gospel and jazz sensibility, and that unmistakable sense of swing that makes even the simplest groove feel human. As a DJ, he has the kind of command that only comes from decades in the culture. He is obsessive about sound, deeply rooted in the original spirit of house, and able to make a room feel both joyous and locked in at the same time. A lot of artists are influential, but Chandler is one of those rare figures whose fingerprints are all over generations of deep house, soulful house, and garage-adjacent club music that came after him.
