Spaces and Places is the eighth studio album by American deep house DJ and producer Kerri Chandler. It was released on September 26, 2022, on Chandler's record label Kaoz Theory. The three-hour album consists of 24 tracks, each recorded at a different nightclub around the world.




Background


Spaces and Places was Kerri Chandler's first full-length solo album in 14 years, following 2008's Computer Games. Chandler created the album as a tribute to the global nightclub scene, with each of the album's 24 tracks composed, performed, and recorded live at a different nightclub dance floor around the world.
Regarding the album's inspiration, Chandler explained, "I wanted to express the love of what could be possible in capturing my productions in the venue, from the heart of each space, right on the dance floor and I translate it onto this album, which I created over the course of 4 years and 24 venues later."




Recording


During the album's four-year recording process, Chandler set up a temporary recording studio in each club while it was empty, allowing him to tailor each track to its venue's distinctive architectural acoustics. For certain tracks, he consulted the club's staff to determine which kick drum sounded best on their dance floor, matched the tempo of the track to the speed of the room's echo, recorded the ambient noise emitted by the club's LED lights, and intentionally included background noise from a nearby bingo hall and train terminal. He mixed the entire album in Dolby Atmos, enabling spatial audio on every track.
Featured artists on Spaces and Places include Chandler's friend DJ Deep, DJ Deep's son, and Chandler's cousin Aaron Braxton Jr., a gospel singer whose featured track "Back to Earth (Find Your Peace)" is a tribute to Braxton's late father, Chandler's uncle.




Critical reception


Spaces and Places was released to critical acclaim. Writing for Resident Advisor, Andrew Ryce praised the album's "three hours of immaculate big-room house," describing it as "a master at his craft blessing each venue with its very own Chandler groove, a sound that feels both eternal and comforting, and will for a long time."
The album was nominated for Best Album at the DJ Mag Best of North America Awards 2023.
