Visually, Kerri Chnadler’s DJ set was the best set I saw at Exit Festival all weekend. The set opened with the graphics of a white clock whizzing round on a black back drop, before the house lights came up and the crowd started cheering. There were holograms and strobe lights, and everyone was cheering for Chandler to come on stage. Eventually, he walked out with six dancers dressed in florescent bikinis, and made his was to the DJ booth whilst they took centre stage to start their routines.
Chandler of course as we all know is an incredibly skilled DJ, and watching him command the vast booth with apparent ease was incredible to witness. His mixing was really well rehearsed, and in perfect time with the ever changing lights around him on the stage. He opened the show with Super Lover, and then moved on to some more of his original deep house tracks. It’s refreshing how he combines elements of Jazz in with his garage sound, and always gets the audience going.
He was wonderful at interacting with the crowd by pitting his arms in the air, or jumping up and down to get everyone excited. It was a 2 hour set, and he maintained his high energy throughout, he’s a great performer as well as musician.
