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.
