Kerri Chandler – Bar A Thym | Classic House, Deep House & New Jersey House 12 Inch Vinyl Cat No: KSSV002 Label: King Street Sounds Genre: Classic House, Deep House, New Jersey House Spec: Label Branded Sleeve Disc Colour: Black Format: 12 Inch Vinyl Description: King Street Sounds continues its mission to reintroduce timeless house music classics to the dancefloor with the reissue of one of the most revered tracks in the entire deep house canon — Kerri Chandler's iconic 'Bar A Thym'. Back on 12 inch vinyl and presented across three essential versions, this is a release that educates a new generation about the sounds of the old school while offering fresh perspectives for those who have loved it all along. If you are a house head, you need this in your life. 'Bar A Thym' is one of those tracks that seems to contain everything great house music aspires to be — a groove so undeniable it feels perpetual, melodies that loop and evolve as though they have always existed. The A-side presents Chandler's full original extended mix in all its 7:24 glory, building and building, keeping listeners at the very brink of euphoria and inviting them to dance. It is, quite simply, the perfect groove — a cornerstone of New Jersey house and deep house history that has lost none of its power. On the B-side, the legendary Foremost Poets vocal edit imbues the already hypnotic motif with an enigmatic narrative, its vocal fragments both anchoring and reframing the mood — a great alternative to the timeless original and a classic version in its own right. South African producer THEMBA then adds his signature sound on the extended remix, nudging the groove toward Afro house with added swing, extra percussion and heightened anticipation around the various drops, subtly opening up the track's spatial dynamics while preserving its magnetic pull. Chandler's work never feels dated — it shifts and reshapes to meet each new moment — and 'Bar A Thym' remains as arresting today as when it first found its way onto the dancefloor. Perfect for DJs and collectors into classic house vinyl, deep house 12 inch records, New Jersey house reissues and the essential King Street Sounds and Kerri Chandler catalogues.
