CD Reviews

I buy everything that DJ Icey put's out

"After discovering this guy thru napster, I put together a killer CD. Then came his essentials last year. Bought that. Awesome! Had such great luck with this guy, bought this one too. Except for a couple songs where the lyrics sound a bit too close to the old sped-up aerobics tunes I remember from the 80's, this is a kicker CD. This guy has a great sense of humor and puts together CD's that actually get months and months of spin time compared to my typical play a few times and then bored modus operandi."
THIS YEARS BEST BREAKS MIX HAS JUST ARRIVED !!!!

"First of all I have to say that I am Breaks fan and I get most cd releases, Promos and tons of vinyl every week covering nu skool, funky and electro Breaks but......Every year comes this one mix cd that lives in my Cd Player for a very long time and it's always Icey's new Mix. Last years Essential Mix was insane and Essential Elements continues right there. The CD starts off with nu skool breaks, continues with Florida Style Funky Breaks, makes a hard turn at Electro and continues with a little 2 Step and in between some gorgeous vocals. 20 songs in one mix sure do offer a lot of variety. The Cd offers all styles of Breaks and still manages to be supercharged with funk. While older Icey mixes are straight out funky breaks, last years mix was a bit more trancey due to Americas "Tranceformation" and this years release adapts the nu skool & 2 Step wave coming from the Uk. Even with including new styles every year he still mangages to inject every mix with his very own Icey Breaks and to create an atmosphere that is unique. His mixing is tight and this Cd is for sure his best technical work up to today. The King of funky Breaks has proven again that he is the #1 US Breakbeat Dj. For all the wannabe dj reviewers commenting about bad mixing and bad production - give me a break ! There would be no Florida scene if Icey would not have started it all back in 92. Try to pop out a single every month that sells out and still be on the road the whole year and in between hook up with Pete Tong and release a few essential mixes . First of all try to get somebody to remember your dj name."
My Favorite recent Icey mix

"Wow, i don't understand the other reviews on here bout this mix so i had to come to its defense. This very well might be the best Icey mix on disc i'm telling you. First of all it contains the excellent Plump DJs' mix of Orbital's Funny Break, a track that gives you goose bumps and commands you to feel euphoria. Secondly, that track being #4, tracks 1-6 are flawless breaks funk, pretty much starting with Icey's own Frequent Yet Vague - track 2. Track 11 - City Wide Allstar's The Gallon is stonkin'. There is some filler, but none more than usual and there plenty more gems including Meat Katie's two contributions - Rotten Dot Com & Bring Yourself Off. This is a great breaks mix for real."
