ON HIS Y4K CD RELEASE TOUR:
DJ ICEY, FL - Zone Reocrds, PAM - www.djicey.com
Born and raised in Florida, DJ Icey has been mesmerized by electronic music ever since hearing the synthesizer breakdown on The Edgar Winter Group’s "Frankenstein". "My mom had that album and I would play that middle part over and over wondering how they made that sound,” Icey recounts. “I was little and thought it was so cool".
Rising to worldwide prominence out of the fertile Orlando Florida electronic music scene which has spawned the likes of AK 1200, Kimball Collins, Jimmy Van M, Chris Fortier, and Baby Anne, Icey cut his teeth at the legendary EDGE nightclub in the mid-90s, and even persuaded The Chemical Brothers to play their first show Stateside there. When The Edge closed in 1996, DJ Icey hit the road… and has stayed on it since.
Icey runs two Indie labels dedicated to the Breaks he loves, the Main imprint Zone Records released it's first 12 Inch single in 1994, “Energy Tracks Volume 1” quickly followed by the hard to find “Encyclopedia Funktanica” both of these records gained a cult following worldwide as there was nothing quite like it at the time. Zone Records continues releasing more than a dozen records a year and his second label Tree Records follows very closely behind with slightly more eccentric productions. Discovered for the punters by BBC Radio 1 DJ and longtime A&R kingpin Pete Tong, Icey became the first American producer to sign to his U.S. ffrr label in 1997 as an artist thanks to Pete and U.S. Honcho Neil Harris, He was the first American DJ to be selected to record a prestigious "Essential Mix" for U.S. Release. With over 200 12” singles under his production belt and 5 cd releases, Icey has SoundScanned over 300,000 CD units in North America alone.
Playing 100+ gigs per year, Icey is a touring maniac. But that doesn’t keep him out of the studio during the week working on new tracks for his Indie Labels Zone and Tree records, constantly trying to push the envelope to make his fans sweat on the dancefloor. The new material is then cut on dub plates and tested out on weekend gigs: “There is nothing better than finishing a tune and seeing the reaction from a crowded dancefloor right after finishing it," he beams. 2003 saw DJ Icey release "Different Day", a new album of all original material. Different Day, Icey’s second full-length artist album to date, embraces futuristic breakbeat interwoven with house sensibilities, while keeping the energy level peaking throughout. 2004 saw the release of his new Mix CD ‘For the Love of the Beat’, Icey creates a seamless hour plus long mix encompassing the many faces of the Worldwide Breakbeat scene. New CD Projects are on the Horizon for late 2005 and 12" Vinyl Singles on the Tree and Zone Records Imprints will be released monthly.
INFLUENZA - www.sickbeats.com / www.epidemicrecordings.com
The duo INFLUENZA consists of legendary Psidream and the ever crazy Oddmud and in just a few short years these two have amassed quite a resume. Not only have they had stellar releases on numerous labels, but these boys are also great DJ’s -- Voted #19 as the top producers of 2004, and #24 as the best DJ's in the Breaksbeat scene. Hell, they were the first Canadian act to partake in the annual Breakspoll series at Fabric in London!
November 2005 marks another new achievement for the boys… the start of Epidemic Recordings – www.epidemicrecordings.com. With two releases already out and another two on the way, we are getting a definite feel for their breakbeat side of things and Psidream is taking it a step further and throwing in his own vibe into the mix as well. Breaks and Drum and bass available through only the best in digital media.
