about

The production of STILL ALIVE took place over 365 days, one beat a week for 52 weeks. This curated selection of 33 derives from that body of work. This project is a sample based production, all of the vinyl samples used were hand-selected by DJ Organic from his personal collection during the Sunday School Beats project (with the exception of tracks 2 & 21).

The artwork was created by Abe Zucca during a series of 4 paintings. Acrylic on wood, 18' X 24' from a pose of ILL AL at the Abe Zucca Art Gallery in downtown Phoenix, AZ.

Album pairings and intentions:

Pair with a dry red wine, something with peppery notes. Add a merlot cheese, fig spread and an uncured salami.

For spirits choose a whiskey sour and possibly pair with blood orange.

Choose a light pilsner in a very cold glass if beer is your choice.

This album is excellent for road trips, the backdrop of a deep conversation or a friendly get together. You may find this a perfect companion for walks, bike rides or a workout. Add these to your skate reels, your gameplay or other art projects, please credit ILL AL, song and album title. A link added to your project would be much appreciated.

STILL ALIVE was created on a Native Instruments MK3 & M32, AKAI MPC Live 2 - mixed stand alone and mastered in iZotope Ozone 9.
