Kerri Chandler needs no introduction as a DJ or producer. This man's name has already been branded as an "essential" for any collector of fine House Music. If you have never experienced Kerri Chandler LIVE on the decks, then this compilation of mixed songs will be the medium to transport you. The compilation boasts fourteen great songs that have been crafted to be blended correctly. Chandler mixes or rather melts each song into the next with wondrous precision.
The mix opens up with "In The Morning" (Final Raw Mix) by Kerri Chandler featuring Monique Bingham. This track is simply sensuous from the co-ed vocals to the piano chords. "My Joy" by NuLife featuring Kenny Bobien simply lifted me from the first measure. The melody is catchy and grows on you by the second. "A Breath of Fresh Air" by Johnick meets FTL actually lives up to its name - a soundscape masterpiece. Some songs were created to never be mixed. You'll understand when you hear this selection.
Kerri Chandler ends this exciting mix with "Epichoregeo" by Phil Hooten. The piano fingering in this track are for those who can appreciate fine jazz. I really enjoyed this track. I am sending this message out to Phil Hooten: "Man we need to hear more of your music ASAP."
