Kerri Chandler — the man behind Madhouse and its spin-off Madtech — launched his latest label, Kaoz Theory, back in June, treating us to debut release 'Kerri Chandler presents Kaoz Theory'. It's an impeccable introduction to the label’s intended focus that includes a who's who of house music today — Seth Troxler, Matthias Tanzmann, Rick Wade, DJ W!LD, The Martinez Brothers, Detroit Swindle et al, all add significant contributions to 'KT001'.
Although a new venture for the New Jersey legend, the label name indicates a much richer heritage tied to the project, a title which traces back to Kerri's '98 compilation called 'Kaoz Theory — The Essential Kerri Chandler', which included many of his own productions as “Kaoz 6:23”.
Kerri Chandler, then, has been a house legend for many years, but what sets him apart is his unique ability to blend tradition with innovation in fascinating new ways. His Kaoz Theory label has worked with contemporary talents like Jamie Jones, Seth Troxler and The Martinez Brothers, while his influential MadHouse Records has just.

In essence, the label is a nod — albeit from a modern day context — to the original 'Kaoz' days of house music; an era when the blueprint of the genre had spread its wings and the geographical identities of the sound were settling. Music was created with the DJ in mind as opposed to the more producer-led standpoint taken by many of today's artists.
As we see with 'KT001', Kerri has secured a veritable list of talent, all of whom deliver the goods. It’s hard to call a standout track as it bumps, grinds and shakes along from start to finish — consistency is the key — so it's certainly made us eager to hear what’s next.
