Madhouse Records
Kerri Chandler's label and production company.
Madhouse Records was founded in 1992 when Dublin-born music industry entrepreneur Mel Medalie met Kerri Chandler at Todd Terry's studio in Brooklyn.
The label became an outlet for Kerri’s music, as well as tracks from his producer friends, with the first release, A Basement, A Red Light, And A Feelin' (A Madhouse Compilation), selling more than 100,000 copies on vinyl alone.
The singles and EPs that followed were mostly produced, co-produced or remixed by Kerri.
Parent company Madhouse Records, Inc. was dissolved in 1997 but the label continued with distribution via New York-based Downtown 161.
In 2010 the entire catalogue was remastered and made available for digital download for the first time, including some previously unreleased tracks.
Label manager from May 2016 to October 2018: Simon Birkumshaw.
The label was relaunched in 2017, with vinyl distribution via Above Board Distribution, until it was announced in July 2023 that it had ceased trading, with Kerri moving his productions to his Kaoz Theory label, while the remaining Madhouse Records catalogue would sit on Champion.
