Kerri Chandler's Kaoz Theory welcomes an appropriately colossal figure from the dance world for its next EP, with Canadian artist Art Department aka Jonny White serving up four fantastic new tracks. Now the lone force behind the world-famous Art Department project, White also heads up the decade strong No.19 Music as well as more recent label additions Social Experiment & Sunday Money. On tour, he can be found at the world's leading clubs and festivals laying down emotive, forward thinking sets of underground house and techno that continue to evolve and inspire. His CV doesn't stop there, with a passionate commitment to wildlife conservation leading to the formation of Music Against Animal Cruelty (MAAC), a non-profit organization which has seen White rally support from the music industry to make a real difference to a vital cause. Add to this his recent partnership in leading label and distribution company Subwax Bcn and it's clear that White is a man on a mission. As ever with Art Department, these latest tracks show another subtle evolution of sound, kicking off with the superb 'Industry.' This is a roller coaster ride through raw organic grooves with swirling pads and subtle vocal cries all layering up the intensity and guaranteeing a huge reaction. The equally impactful 'Exit to Eden' takes on a more swinging house vibe, with brilliantly loose drums shuffling along with a New York feel. Again, soulful vocal samples add steaminess to the groove, delivering a cut that is destined to lift the mood wherever it's dropped. The kicking 'Boa' picks up the pace once more with smart drum programming that gets you on your toes. It's upright and driving, with raw hits and huge kicks powering you along as a timeless and nimble bassline bounces about down low. Closing things down in style, the excellent 'Madbar' is another high impact house cut with edgy chord stabs and bristling drums. The whole thing brims with house

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”.
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.
