Illvibe Collective CD Release Party at Silk City April 5

Illvibe Collective have a CD release party tonight at Silk City. The local five-man DJ and production team has been churning out dope material since 2000, and is comprised of Mr. Sonny James (a.k.a. Statik), Panek, Phillee Blunt, Lil Dave and Skipmode. Their latest effort All Together Now features contributions from some of Philly’s finest like Bahamadia, Reef The Lost Cauze, Rich Medina, Dave Ghetto, and many more. It’s Illvibe Collective’s debut production album, and there will be plenty of their collaborators performing this evening to help them celebrate. Below is footage of an interview with their muse and mentor Rich Medina where “he discusses his relationship with them and the significance of producers who get their start at DJs.” It was filmed and directed by Panek and edited by Mr. Sonny James for Illvibe Media. Silk City, 435 Spring Garden St., 9pm, $10 (includes a copy of the CD), 21+ – Alexis V.
