Song You Need: Even Kerri Chandler’s archival releases sound like the future
14.03.2023 - 00:21 / thefader.com
The FADER’s “Songs You Need” are the tracks we can’t stop playing. Check back every day for new music and follow along on our Spotify playlist. Kerri Chandler's DJ sets are a sight to behold.
In the past few years, the esteemed deep house musician has played his music from reel-to-reel machines, tape decks that give his performances the feel of a retrofuturist spy thriller. The motive for their use is a practical one: “The reels... are temperamental and hard work," Chandler has said, "but the sound quality that comes from them is like no other format.” With mastery over this set of unorthodox tools, Chandler is that rare kind of elder statesperson who remains at the cutting edge and a self-evident case for house's continued broader relevance.
You can find that same quality in his studio recordings. Released on March 3, Chandler's Lost & Found EP, Vol. 2 is a four-track collection of previously unheard releases pulled from his personal collection of compositions.
It's difficult to pick a highlight: "Dem Joy Ride" is the biggest curveball with its studious-yet-energetic fusion of jazz, while "Fluff Rehab" has industrial crunch sanded over with wispy synth stabs. I find myself coming back most frequently to "What If," the project's second song; maybe it's the way every hit of the kick feels like a pillow fight in my brain, or how the sweet serenity of every element still manages to combine into a pulsing reverie. It feels like a clear example of the kind of dedication Chandler displays when he pulls out the tape decks for a crowded club to spread the gospel of house in ways few acolytes ever thought possible.

Rupert Murdoch Engaged to Ann Lesley Smith Less Than a Year After Divorcing Jerry Hall
Brent Lang Executive Editor Rupert Murdoch just can’t stay single. Less than a year after divorcing Jerry Hall, the 92-year-old Fox mogul is hearing wedding bells again. He’s engaged to Ann Lesley Smith, a 66-year-old San Francisco police chaplain. According to gossip columnist Cindy Adams, who broke the story in the New York Post, Murdoch’s future wife was married to Chester Smith, a country-western singer, as well as a radio and TV executive who died in 2008. Adams reports that the two bonded over their shared knowledge of the media business as well as the fact that she once owned a vineyard and he still does. If they tie the knot, it will be Murdoch’s fifth marriage. Hall, a model and actress, was married to Murdoch for six years. In addition to Hall, Murdoch was previously married to Wendi Deng from 1999 to 2013; Anna Maria Torv from 1967 to 1999; and Patricia Booker, from 1956 to 1967.

Song You Need: Fever Ray gets revenge
If you needed another reason not to get on Karin Dreijer’s bad side, look no further than “Even It Out.” The deliciously venomous cut from Radical Romantics, their brand new third studio album as Fever Ray, comes with a music video that ups the ante considerably. “This is for Zacharias / Who bullied my kid in high school,” Dreijer sings, their voice pulsing with an anger that’s crossed over into deranged ecstasy. “There’s no room for you / And we know where you live.” The song’s disturbing nature is belied by its ultra-catchiness, its anthemic and arena-ready instrumental, and the woo-hoos Dreijer injects into the track at key points (often after an especially maniacal lyric).
