DJ Icey – WMC 2009 Mixtape

clip_image002

What up Icey? I don’t normally post links to mixtapes because its rare to find a mixtape worth writing about. So if I’m posting a mixtape, then you know it must be hot! Enter DJ Icey, and this mixtape cd that was handed out during WMC Miami 2009. This one is well worth the burn because its one of those mixes you’ve got to listen to more than once.

 

Since we’re on the topic of mixtapes, I want to drop a lil teaser on you. I’m bringing back the Show Me the Beats series for a third installment and I’ll hit you with the goods sometime next week just in time for Spring Break. So keep your ass tuned for Show Me the Beats 3 – Spring Break 2009 Edition. Volumes 1 & 2 have been downloaded over 5000 times. Hell yeah!

 

Back to Icey…

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.

 

This is a very diverse and explosive breakbeat mix. From soulful and reggae sounds, to rap, to disco, and even to a vocal track sounding very reminiscent of freestyle. Icey covers it all in an exciting and very energetic mix. Tracks 7 through 11 really heat up, with General Midi’s breakbeat rap, and then onto Dj Icey’s own new sexy track, Come Closer, complete with breathy female vocals. Even past track 11, right to the end of the mix, it’s high energy, pounding beats. I can’t recommend this one enough. It’s a winner from top to bottom, without a dull track in sight. Also check out the Drumattic Twins new breaks mix CD, Finger Lickin Export 01.

DJ Icey has been my favorite DJ for at least 12 or 13 years since he got started in Orlando, Jacksonville and Gainesville, FL. This was and still is my favorite DJ album of all time. If you like breaks, there just is no one as good as him. End of story.

 

Florida Breaks at it’s best. Simple and extremely groovy. That’s what we call DJ Icey Breaks. I have this Cd since years but it never looses it’s charm. This was the first Breaks mix I ever heard and it is the reason that I still listen to Breaks.

It is the original Florida Sound that can’t be copied. Anybody with an understanding for electronic music should enjoy this CD.

 

"The Funky Breaks" is a very energetic house/electro breakbeat mix coming from the Orlando scene’s leading Dj, Dj Icey. It includes two of his own tracks, Headrillaz hit "Get Yourself Organised" a wonderful output by Rebel MC, with Barrington Levy and the Tenor Fly, and many other fun, energetic tracks. The whole set glides along, never finding itself in a rut, always shifting from one break to the next. A fantastic assault of breaks launched by Icey.

Clearing something up  Breakbeat music originated in the United States and was later revolutionized by artists like DJ Icey. The difference between Icey’s version of breaks and Adam Freeland’s breaks is like the difference between, for example, Massive Attack and Dieselboy. Music that comes from the southern U.S. (Atlanta, Orlando, Miami, & St. Louis) incorporates a good amount of bass if you didn’t already know. More than half of Adam Freelands bass rythms on the ON TOUR CD for example only hit on the 1st and 3rd beat. Freeland is a great DJ and does produce good sounds, but if you were to play one of his mixes versus one of Icey’s mixes to a random crowd of electro\breakbeat\techno-music-in-general fans, I would bet more than 9 out of 10 times Icey would get the most favor. I listen to my Icey, Huda Hudia, and Friction&Spice CD’s much more than I do my A. Freeland, Rennie Pilgrem, or Uberzone CD’s – and I like both genres. My point is, and I know I’m taking a while to get to it, is that you shouldn’t write reviews on 2 different Icey CDs just to dis his music and glorify Adam Freeland’s because thats clearly all your trying to do. The only electronic CDs that I think I’ve ever listened to and not picked up some cheesyness are those produced by The Crystal Method, but thats beyond the point. The point is, Psilocybin, that you should do everyone a favor and throw away your keyboard and just use the mouse from now on. This CD, released about the same time as Essential Elements, is a great display of Icey’s uncanny ability to rock a set. I can’t say that I’ve seen a wide variety of wellknown DJ’s live but then again we are talking about a CD and not a live set. I have been to a few Icey shows that were completely awesome and I’ve never talked to anyone else that didn’t enjoy the same experience.

DJ Icey goes a little bit off the beaten path of techno in that all of his samples are not technically samples, but recorded lyrics by Christian Ford. While I like ‘old school’ samples like used by the Wiseguys, this album still rocks. The best track is probably "Not a Test", then maybe "Can’t Stop this Track." While a couple of tracks could have been mixed a little better, this album is better than Icey’s first, the Funky Breaks.
