biography
Alif Tree was created in the 1990s by the semi- Romanian DJ Alex Altain. He produced his first maxi singles as early as 1996 , but it would be three years before the first album, The Observatory , was created and was finally released in 2000 on M / 10 Records . In the following years, awareness increased steadily through public appearances, an own radio show and the 2001 released second album Spaced . Alif Tree celebrated a first major success in 2006 with the single Forgotten Places , which appeared on the album French Cuisine .
Alif Tree often uses vocal samples from well-known jazz singers such as Shirley Horn or Nina Simone , but also works with singers.
