Now, the label launches its new imprint titled ‘Anjunadeep Explorations’ this July. ’The ‘Explorations’ imprint is an evolution of the much-loved Various Artist EP series of the same name, which spanned 25 editions between 2016-2023 on Anjunadeep.

The label will focus on unearthing the next generation of electronic music talent, as well as introducing established acts to the Anjuna roster.

The label’s first release is an exclusive 12” sampler, comprising six tracks from artists signed to the label including Chris Luno, Klur and Marley Carroll, with individual digital releases to follow. The vinyl is a limited run of hand-stamped white label vinyl.

Widely considered to be one of the chief innovators in the genre of electronic dance music known as deep house, Kerri Chandler has carved out a unique musical vision brought to life in marathon sets known to go on for 6 hours or more, he infuses elements of soul, jazz, funk, and practically any other dance rhythms to create the vivid sound tapestry unique to him. That has earned this world-class DJ, producer the affectionate nickname the Stevie Wonder of House music.

As a skilled multi-instrumentalist and Dolby Atmos certified recording engineer with a propensity for tinkering under the hood, Chandler strives to understand every aspect of sound recording and amplification. Kerri is constantly pushing the boundaries of recording technology and live-performance sound systems. When this talented DJ, and producer is behind the decks at notable venues as diverse as Printworks in London and Sub Club in Glasgow, you are guaranteed to be awash in quality music that reflects his experience as a global performer. You can never anticipate what you’re going to experience. Seamlessly transitioning from live DJing to live jam session complete with keyboards, live vocals, and loops or perhaps merging mid- 20th century studio grade reel to reels as a mixing source combined with state-of-the-art custom projection mapping design, newly developed by Panasonic to create immersive 3D environments, complete with tracks Chandler blends together while simultaneously interacting with holograms of legendary vocalists that Kerri has collaborated with though out his career.

With a discography spanning three decades, Kerri's first release Super Lover/ Get It Off on Atlantic Records in 1991 set the stage for what was to become a signature sound. His creations launched a wave of admirers and imitators of his deep lush chords and soulful grooves that stir emotions and movement. In his continuous search to inspire and nurture new talent, he forged MadTech Records and the eclectic Kaoz Theory imprints soon followed becoming the flashpoint for such artists as the Martinez Brothers, Seth Troxler, and Tony Lionni.

Kerri having just released his latest album the 24-track homage to international nightlife “Spaces and Places”, jumps headlong into the world of spatial audio with Dolby Atmos This new immersive sound format allows sounds to travel through a space not merely backward and forwards but circles in all directions. With the international support of club owners and engineers, a total of 24 iconic night spots were transformed into recording studios infusing each track with the full sound characteristics of the rooms they were recorded in. Spaces diverse as London's Ministry of Sound, Paris Rex, Berlin’s Watergate, Barcelona’s Razzmatazz, or New York's Knockdown Center creating a whole new layer of complexity and accuracy. “If I wasn’t working doing the stuff I love doing, I’d probably work at Dolby,” Chandler says. “My job became my hobby, and my hobby became my job.”

Kerri's latest series of dates brings all of this time and attention full circle combining the meticulous attention to sound, atmosphere, and craft that ensures that you will be taken on a musical adventure second to none.

Individually, their talents are akin to constellations - vivid, distinct and mesmerizing. Together, they are an unstoppable force unapologetically pushing the boundaries of electronic music through a deeply personal lens. Since emerging on the scene in 2013, Eli & Fur have established themselves as one of the music industry’s most in-demand acts with unprecedented fervor - But you would be remiss to call them an overnight sensation, and that’s exactly  how they prefer it. 

Their journey has been one of intention, a deliberate slow burn anchored by their passions, creative spirits that refuse to be boxed in and - most importantly - each other. Rooted in over a decade of collaboration, their distinct sonic aesthetic marries a mysterious and enigmatic mood with evocative vocals, cascading synths and rolling basslines - a heady mix that is addictive and connective. Their impressive discography includes collaborations with heavyweights such as Camelphat, MEDUZA and Booka Shade alongside a steady stream of releases on their own label - NYX Music - and seminal imprints Crosstown Rebels, Anjunadeep, Cercle, Armada Deep and more. In addition to their original compositions, the duo have also remixed chart-topping hits from world-class talent ranging from Sasha and Bob Moses, to ODESZA and Shouse, earning ardent support from industry authorities such as  Boiler Room and BBC Radio 1's Essential Mix. 

Eli & Fur’s sophomore album Dreamscapes  will invite listeners on an explorative odyssey into the next evolution of their sound, revealing their most authentic expression to date. Due for release on September 27, 2024, the 15-track anthology promises to deliver a poignant opus that embodies the dynamic brand of artistry that has positioned the duo firmly at the helm of the house and techno scene. A testament to their standing as fixtures on some of the world’s most prestigious stages including the likes of Coachella, Printworks and Tomorrowland, the album will also be accompanied by a 3-date headline live tour that will distill their palpable chemistry and entrancing sound into an exclusive run of performances in New York, Los Angeles and London.
