Kerri Chandler first new album in some 14 years due for release this October, the DJ and producer has revealed how he produced his next record.
According to Chandler, “Spaces and Places” was composed and recorded live over several years in 24 different clubs.
The producer from New Jersey also mentioned that each illustrious club, such as Sub Club, Ministry Of Sound, and The Warehouse Project, has “individual relationships” to him and his work and retains a special place in his heart.
Chandler explores house music through his partying experiences on “Computer Games,” his first full-length CD since 2008, and pays homage to the venues that helped launch his illustrious career.
“The first time I stepped into a nightclub was with my father as a child. I saw the magic of what a club space could sound and feel like as my Dad set up the DJ equipment at The Rallye Racquet Club,” he said.

“Hearing the power of those huge Altec Lansing “Voice of the Theater” Speakers and Horn-loaded JBL subwoofers fascinated me! In the late 80s, I was spoiled sonically by playing on several Richard Long Sound Systems around New York and New Jersey.”
Kerri Chandler demonstrated the “unique and specific” nature of each venue and its system using 24 songs that were recorded and created in a “temporary recording studio” located in the middle of each nightclub.
“This is why ever since I first ventured away from home, I have been infamous with my soundchecks at any space I have performed in. I make sure, with the help of the engineers in these ‘Spaces and Places’, many I have known most of my career, to get the best from each system,” Chandler says on the new record.

“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.”
‘Spaces and Places’ is due for release in October.
