BELLA (CLEAR VINYL/LIMITED) | VINYL RECORD (LP)

Kerri Chandler, Kerri Chandler delivers 'Lost & Found Vol.1' this March, a four-track collection of revisited, unreleased archive cuts, including Kerri's own Grampa, Calvin Reed Sr. As a featuring artist on the opening track. New Jersey's Kerri Chandler has been at the forefront of house music since the beginning of his career in the early 90's. Over the past three decades he's released an extensive back catalogue of material including several albums on his own Madhouse and Kaoz Theory imprints as well as the likes of DJ Deep's Deeply Rooted, Apollonia, Jerome Sydenham's Ibadan and Watergate Records. Here we see Kerri dig up some never before heard archived material from the 90's and early 2000's for this four-track EP. Up first is 'What Will We Do ft Grampa', featuring spoken word and vocal lines from Kerri's Grandfather Calvin Reed St. Atop gritty swinging drums, organ lines and rounded subs. 'Tonight' follows and tips focus over to airy chord sequences, choppy bass notes, dreamy arpeggio lines and dynamic drums. 'Into The Night' opens the b-side next, bringing a raw bass hook, tension building strings and vocal chants of the track's title into the forefront while bumpy stripped-back drums keep things driving. 'This and That' then rounds out the release, bringing twitchy resonant synths and phaser sweeps into the mix alongside stuttering drum programming for a funk-infused, loop driven eight minute workout.
