Kerri Chandler, Detroit Swindle, Tom Trago & Kamma live from BUDX Amsterdam
BUDX is Mixmag and Budweiser's immersive program that spotlights outstanding creative minds in music and culture from around the world. https://ift.tt/2mQeJCE At BUDX Amsterdam, a spotlight on the finest in house and hip hop will be on display. Headlining the first day will be house music legend Kerri Chandler, who will be joined by Dutch mainstays Detroit Swindle, Tom Trago and Kamma. Then on day two, hip hop takes over with influential UK artist Benji B headlining along with a collection of homegrown talent in Jarreau Vandal, Ray Fuego (live), Full Crate and Rachel Green. Kerri Chandler If you're a fan of house music, or even dance music for that matter, then it's nearly impossible that you haven't heard of Kerri Chandler. The US icon has contributed to the scene for over two decades and his dedication to evolving and innovating the genre is unparalleled. As relevant today as he ever was, Chandler has been steeped in DJing since he was a boy back in New Jersey when his father - who was also a DJ - first inspired him to step up behind the decks. Tracks like 'Atmosphere', 'The Mood' and 'You're In My System' have set dancefloors alight since their conception and with Kerri at the helm of both Madhouse and Mad Tech Records, his finger is as on the pulse as it ever was. In 2015 he launched yet another label called Kaoz Theory and the compilation that backed it featured the likes of Seth Troxler, Chez Demier, Detroit Swindle and Matthias Tanzmann, an indication of the kind of company the king likes to keep. As an artist that's never compromised or faltered in his vision, Chandler is a name that will live on for the rest of time. Alongside Knuckles, Levan and Hardy, Kerri Chandler is a king of the dancefloor with a heart of gold. Kamma Amsterdam native Kamma has DJing in her blood. With two parents who made a 25-year career for themselves behind the decks, her comprehensive understanding of music and how it applies to a dancefloor setting is impeccable. Armed with beautiful technique and a finely tuned arsenal of music, her bi-monthly Brighter Days party has made a serious splash in the Venice of the North. A selector motivated by affection and complex rhythms, her performances at top tier events such as Dimensions Festival, Dekmantel and DGTL, it's clear that Kamma's meteoric rise in the scene is only just beginning. Detroit Swindle Detroit Swindle are Amsterdam duo Lars and Maarten. First pairing up in 2011, they have cemented their status as acclaimed selectors, top-tier producers, adventurous performers and the heads of their own acclaimed imprint, Heist Recordings. Their shared history of being passionate crate diggers certainly shows in Detroit Swindle's varied, disco-flecked and funk-fueled tunes. Following their optimistic and grooving 2018 album, 'High Life', Detroit Swindle added a new live show with collaborator Lorenz Rhode to their busy worldwide touring schedule that has created a whole new draw for the sensational group. In 2019, the duo released the EP' Rhythm Girl Swing' on AUS Music, the rubbery single 'Hey Mister' on Classic Music Company and released 'High Life, The Remixes' EP which features killer cuts from Gari Romalis, Matt Karmil, Cinthie and more. Detroit Swindle have always remained steadfast in their calling in life: to put a smile on your face and make you dance until you drop. Tom Trago Tom Trago is dance music royalty of Amsterdam's club scene. Never wavering from his lifelong dream to pursue a career in music, the Dutchman has trudged his way to top with sheer dedication - feeding his salacious vinyl addiction the whole way through. Ever since his debut Rush Hour Recordings release 'Live With The BB Q' back in 2006, Trago's been delivering luminous house cuts time and time again. He established his Voyage Direct label - a sub-label of Rush Hour Recordings - in 2010. He was a resident of the fabled Amsterdam club Trouw before its closing in 2016 and since then, the far-reaching appetite for Trago's skills on stage has not slackened. With four albums, countless EPs released on Dekmantel, Aus Music, !K7 Records, Sound Pellegrino and Rush Hour, as well as a rigorous touring schedule, Trago is regarded as a guiding force for underground dance music coming out of the Netherlands.
