Bxentric

Bxentric make electronic music so uplifting, it inspires you to dust off your vinyl, take off your clothes and dance naked through the fields with scarves tied to your wrists. And that’s just if you are a man. Obsessed with all things analogue, Bxentric don’t do electronic the simple way. Completely dance, completely current, and completely unique, their music is something you can listen to almost anywhere. It will make you feel happy and hopeful and maybe a little bit high in a sixties way, which can be quite fun if you have to brave a shitty journey to work every day, like the rest of us.

Kerri Chandler

Kerri's father was a DJ as well, which gave Kerri a rich background in the origins of the New York Underground Sound (known also as "Garage" music). He made his DJ debut at the Rally Record Club in East Orange, New Jersey at the age of thirteen. Kerri eventually found himself intrigued with the production element in dance music and soon began to create his own grooves on his self-label, Express Records.
