Places & Spaces

Naturetone and Zooki went places, different places. In the early 1990's they made beats together and pioneered Swiss hiphop as part of the group Three Tree Posse. Then life happened, and the two went separate ways on different travels. But the music never stopped, with both of them making instrumental hip hop and electronic music. In 2016, their paths crossed again at a beat making session with a mutual friend. The chemistry was still there. After going many places, they occupied the same space again. Heavily inspired by the sample-based Golden Era hip hop production of Pete Rock and J.Dilla, and taking their name from the classic Donald Byrd album Places and Spaces, their music has the same breezy feel as the jazz trumpeter's groundbreaking work. Places & Spaces does exactly that: they allow the notes room to breathe.
