Osunlade (Yoruba Records) – “Rain – Kerri Chandler” (Mood EP, Nervous Records – 1998) & “Coro” (Nitegrooves – 1999)
“I have two favourite Kerri tracks – ‘Rain’ & ‘Coro’. Its difficult to say just one..but these two capture the essence of Kerri’s music for me.”
Atjazz (Atjazz Record Company) – “Rain – Kerri Chandler” (Mood EP, Nervous Records – 1998)
“Rain is the most understated house song from Kerri in my book, although it rocks every single floor I play it to. It’s one of the few house records that really made me stick to my guns as an artist. Maybe one day, I’ll make a record this sharp! Kerri = King”
Yass (Defected, Grei Matter / Paris) – “Rain – Kerri Chandler” (Mood EP, Nervous Records – 1998)
“The Kerri track I play the most as a dj is called ‘Downtown (Dark Mix) but the one I love the most is ‘Rain’… Simply amazing! Everytime it’s raining outside I’m thinking of the song…this guy changed my weather.”
Lars Behrenroth (Deeper Shades of House) – “Rain – Kerri Chandler” (Mood EP, Nervous Records – 1998)
“I’ll only pick a favorite (or in this case, two) since you’re holding a gun to my head. My KC collection is huge but the songs I always have close and handy are “Track 1″ from the Atmosphere EP (including all of it’s variations which were released in the many years after and “Rain” (here I’m sticking with the original version from the ‘Mood EP’).
Track 1 is one of those tunes which can run for hours at a time and people will still not get sick of it and Rain, I mean c’mon….if you heard it, you know….and if you haven’t, I feel really sorry for you. RAIN”
Nick Blow (Our Party, Belgium) – “Rain – Kerri Chandler” (Mood EP, Nervous Records – 1998)
“I thought it would be difficult – choosing my all time Kerri track/song – but in the end it was easy. Having had the pleasure to be led on a musical journey by Kerri for 20 years there are so many classics and seminal records that he has produced. ‘Inspiration, Tears of Velva, Gate-Ah, Atmosphere and many, many, many more. But what is the song that I always want to hear him sing? The one I want to hear at 4am? The one that sounds perfect in any setting? What optimises the talents of Kerri – the song, the rhythms, the emotion, soul and the voice? “Rain” taken from his ‘The Mood EP’ on Nervous Records 1998 is the one that does it for me. Thank you Kerri from the depths of my heart you have given so much to us over the years. Keep on keepin on.”
