Revisit Kerri Chandler's Sensational Beatport Livestream Residency

For the final 2020 Beatport Residency, which hands over our Twitch channel to some of the world’s best dance music artists for a month of hand-picked livestreams, New Jersey house music originator Kerri Chandler whisked the year away with marvelous sets from guest performers like Louie Vega, Disclosure, Mona Lee, and David Morales, as well as sets from Chandler himself.

But don’t worry if you missed it — we’ve compiled a full recap of Kerri’s Residency below.

WEEK ONE

Kerri Chandler launched into his first The Residency showcase with a rousing set from his home studio, using a three turntable set up with SL1400 mk2 Technics and sorting through his dizzying collection of vinyl to uplift our souls and show us once again how a grandmaster of house music performs behind the decks. Before Kerri, DJ Deep set up with a throwback vinyl showcase of his own, followed by a rotary demonstration from Arcade, a dance floor workshop from Baby Rollén, and a hypnotizing yet equally classy music selection Disclosure.

To close out his phenomenal programming for The Residency, Kerri Chandler decided to treat us to something special. Bringing us six full hours of uninterrupted music on New Years Day, Kerri Chandler hit the greenscreen to set himself up in various spaces and atmospheres such as Time Square, a Spaceship, a video game, and more. “I went out and found various locations that almost seemed unimaginable to do,” Chandler says about the stream. “I also worked on a project with my son Max that has been formatted in all 8-bit graphics.”
