CD DetailsSynopsis
Album Description An American pioneer of the Breakbeat dance scene, Icey's has had a decade plus of DJing, producing, remixing and championing of breaks, the musically vast, ever-evolving genre he's played a major role in defining. Icey is a touring maniac, taking to the road with the vigor of a Presidential candidate, criss-crossing North America and points beyond, and racking up over 100 DJ dates a year, yet still finds time to run his indie label Zone Records. 2006 sees influential UK breaks label Distinctive tap Icey to record an installment of their highly popular Y4K mix CD series. The set contains exclusive remixes and tracks from Icey, Ils, Transformer Man, General MIDI, Atomic Hooligan, Drumattic Twins, Deekline and Wizard. Icey's Y4K mix album is funky and tough, otherworldly and sublime, grand and proudly underground. Similarly Requested CDs

CD ReviewsTrippy trek into goovy breaks Jennifer Warner | Raves.com, CA United States | 04/19/2006 (4 out of 5 stars) "My reviewere Kris had this to say about this CD for Raves.com/DJfix.com: Icey is kinda spacey. This, of course, with me, helps his appeal. The promise of a trippy trek into the world of electronica is always a positive thing, provided it's done right. Icey is also, befittingly, chilled and cool (but hot with ability, right?). His groovy breaks apply a certain textured minimalism to create infectious hookyness that use subtlety to sink its claws in. It doesn't take much for Icey's work here to get you into the flow and enjoying the pulse. Adding to the layers of Icey's textures are vocal samplings from time to time, trance-ish pulsation and a hint of glitchyness to help ferment some pleasant acid bite. The music is a bit on the understated side at times but I think that's also what helps the hook. And this doesn't interfere with the energy and even sultry qualities awaiting your enjoyment herein. Take a dark, evocative trip to innerspace with Merka's "I'll Be Here." The Drummatic Twins' "Feelin' Kinda Strange" is an acidy discoteque clubhouse track for a psychedelic future, catchy as hell with high energy vox. DJ Icey's own "Come Closer" boasts thick beats and dense acid power in an offbeat house experiment. And for some true oddity, check out "Grizzle," a charged up electroshocked, hooky piece of gritty dance. And there's more where that came from." Icey does it again!!! M. Powers | 03/27/2006 (5 out of 5 stars) "i've been an icey fan since around '97 and i can say that this is truely one of his best works yet.. his mixing style on this is amazing..
