This week’s AVA mix is a very special entry to the series, from a true house music legend. Over the past 40-odd years, Kerri Chandler has undoubtedly helped shape the electronic music landscape. Hailing from East Orange, New Jersey, Chandler was exposed to music at a young age through his father, a well-known DJ. His love of music was encouraged by this early exposure, which prepared him for his future vocation.

Chandler's career started in the late 1980s, and he soon gained recognition for his distinctive style, which combines house music with jazz, soul, and gospel influences. His 1990 breakthrough track, "SuperLover/Get It Off," signalled the beginning of an incredibly successful career.

In addition to producing, Chandler is renowned for his energetic DJ sets, which frequently feature live components and his distinctive usage of drum machines. In 1992 he co-founded Madhouse Records along with a Dublin-based music entrepreneur Mel Medalie. This platform played a pivotal role in advancing house music and nurturing new talent in Ireland and all around the world. 

This year Kerri Chandler returns to Belfast for the first time in over a decade as part of our 10th birthday celebrations.

You can read all about Kerri's thoughts on his upcoming visit to Belfast, his first in over 10 years, by heading to the link below. He also weighs in on the controversial Guinness vs Murphy's debate!
