Keep It All Good

I’ve spent the last two and a half years working on this record, creating it piece by piece. The first song I wrote and recorded for the project is "So Shook," which was inspired by the loss of our dear friend and brother, Mark Atkinson. I wrote and recorded this track in March of 2022 at The Castle in Beloit, Wisconsin.

This album is a collection of songs that have come together over the past three winters. The central theme revolves around the loss of many loved ones, especially the four closest people I've lost in the past few years: my mother, my stepdad Sam, my best friend Mark, and my grandmother. The songs reflect themes of struggle, pain, death, addiction, demons, grief, mourning, loss, and loneliness. However, they also touch on resilience, strength, healing, growth, courage, integrity, and honor.

The recording process evolved with every track. Over the past two and a half years, I’ve switched studios and upgraded my equipment. When Max Altmark sent me these beats, I began to write and think about the project as a whole. Some songs were recorded using a budget $100 condenser mic, others with a Bluebird mic, and some with a Shure SM7B and the upgraded SM7BD. I also worked with different recording interfaces, and recorded in a variety of locations: The Castle, my basement, and my garage studio. This diversity in sound sources gives the album a unique, wide-ranging feel. While I didn’t set out to create such a mix, it fits the journey well. The different recording spaces capture the raw emotions of those moments. While each track has varying sound quality, the album as a whole maintains a cohesive concept.

The album is titled "1988". I was born on August 3rd, 1988, at 3:38 am. Over the course of making this record, I’ve repeatedly noticed these numbers appearing—on streets, signs, license plates, clocks, and in other synchronistic ways. These numbers seemed to guide me through the process. As I reflected on the people I’ve lost, I thought a lot about my ancestors and others who’ve influenced me and are no longer here. It became clear that this album is more than just about loss—it’s a tribute. It’s a homage to those who came before me and those I’ve loved, who have shaped me into who I am today. Without them, I wouldn't be.

Surfin Space (Prod. From The 5th)

Adam Gasser, better known as Astronaut Adam, is not just a musician, he is a dedicated father, a passionate community advocate, and a beacon of hope for those seeking change. Throughout his remarkable journey, Adam has built a dynamic music career, performing over 1,000 shows across the United States and releasing 8 full-length projects, alongside a variety of singles that have touched hearts and minds. His musical journey began with Earth to Clark, a band he was a part of for 10 years, while simultaneously pursuing his solo career and creating the powerful duo, Antiii-Gravity, with Darious "Pro" Pittman. Their collaboration has now spanned 14 years, continuing to resonate with fans worldwide. Adam’s talents go far beyond performing, he is also an accomplished music engineer, producer, guitarist, and MC, using his skills to inspire and uplift those around him.

As a co-founder of the Vibe High Music Festival, Adam has played an instrumental role in uniting music and community, bringing people together in his local area through Vibe High Productions. His love for connection and shared experience extends beyond music, with his involvement in skateboarding, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, and most notably, his ongoing commitment to serving others. Adam's heart is deeply invested in giving back, whether it’s organizing community clean-ups, hosting toy drives, or volunteering for the homeless, he believes that uplifting those around him is not just an act of kindness, but a way of life.

However, Adam’s path has not been without its heartache. Between 2021 and 2024, he faced the heartbreaking loss of three of the most important people in his life: his mother, best friend, and stepfather—two of whom tragically passed due to overdoses. These devastating losses shook him to his core, plunging him into a dark period of emotional and mental health struggles. Yet, these hardships also strengthened his resolve to use his platform to advocate for mental health awareness and offer hope to others facing similar pain. His journey has become a testament to the power of resilience, and he is now more determined than ever to spread peace, love, and healing through his music.

Adam’s mission began at just 16, when he had a life-changing realization: peace is possible, and hip-hop is the powerful vessel to carry that message. Growing up in Beloit, WI, amidst poverty, crime, and violence, Adam recognized that music could be a transformative force for change. Now, over a decade later, through his work as Astronaut Adam and Antiii-Gravity, he continues to share that message of hope, love, and unity. With his upcoming EP, "1988", set for release on March 8, 2025, Adam is poised to embark on the next chapter of his journey, one that will undoubtedly inspire and uplift everyone who hears his music and feels his unwavering passion for a better, more connected world.
