Tree60 is the primary alias of Stefano D'Incecco, an Italian producer and DJ whose work bridges the gap between traditional crate-digging hip-hop and contemporary downtempo electronics. Originally based in Italy and later Barcelona and Lima, D'Incecco's music reflects a global, 'all-terrain' approach to sampling.
His sound identity is defined by a heavy reliance on analog warmth, tape saturation, and the 'dusty' textures of vinyl. Critically, he is associated with the Dusted Wax Kingdom collective, a key hub for the instrumental hip-hop scene in the 2010s. His career arc shows a transition from the more structured jazz-trio dynamics of his group Mui toward a more fluid, sample-heavy solo aesthetic. He occupies a space in the underground beat scene alongside artists like Pawcut and Smokedbeat, characterized by a rejection of mainstream trap tropes in favor of soulful, mid-tempo grooves. His work is highly regarded in 'lo-fi' circles for its technical proficiency and emotional depth, often incorporating ethnic and dub elements that elevate it above standard study-beat fare.
