Additional Essential Mix Information
|
What do you do if you're musically inclined in the strip-malled hell of Orlando, Florida? Since you're not exactly in a hotbed for good music, you've really no other choice than to spin your own. So goes the story of DJ Icey, one of the rave generation's most revered spin doctors. He sprang up in the early '90s, when every club kid wanted to hear, make, and buy old-school breaks. Icey was one of the few who actually followed through on this desire, which led to Mixmag's crowning him the King of Funky Breaks in 1998. Now that he's started his own record label (Zone Records), played at countless warehouse parties, and produced many of his own tracks and remixes, Icey proudly releases his Essential Mix disc. Following in the footsteps Fatboy Slim, Pete Tong, and Paul Oakenfold, Icey's contribution to the Essential Series is a cost-efficient and hassle-free way to bring a world-renowned DJ-producer into your own living room. Icey assembled an A-list cast of contributors for this mix: Orbital, Tsunami One, Sabres of Paradise, David Holmes, and Timo Maas all make appearances, as does Icey himself. Not bad for a self-made kiddie-rave DJ. --Courtney Reimer

What Customers Say About Essential Mix:

This CD has such sentimental value to me. The beats are FRESH and I would totally recommend it to anyone who loves old school break beats.
there was only one track that i liked and it was dooms night, which i already have. this is not funky and it should not be put under this heading on amazon. the cd lacked subtance,this is electronic dance music which i don't like. this cd did nothing to make me want to dance.
Each one shows a different dimension of who that man is, and what his music is about. However, I should point out that no two D.J. Icey albums are ever exactly alike. If you listen to no other D.J. Essential Mix will have you jump'n real good. From Essential Mix, you get a good feel for the kind of music D.J. Icey album, listen to this one. Icey puts into his mixes on other albums.
Ok let me start off and say that this entire cd is dope,and flows to perfection.There are not many breaks cd's I can let play all the way through,because there is usually bits of boredom and dullness in between tracks,however;this is a huge exception.This is by far Icey's best and one of the best dance albums ever released.This albums full of electro and funky breaks,afterall thats what Icey is well known for."Essential Mix"will make you bust a move on the dancefloor,or keep driving for days,because you'll get lost in the incredible music.If there's one breaks cd besides Baby Anne's "Bass Queen in the Mix 1"I'd recommend it'd definetly be this one.What are you waiting for,go get it.
good music for driving fast. i've never heard dj icey's mixes before, but after this purchase, i won't hesitate to give him another try.there were lots of good breaks and beats. i bought this cd after a recommendation based on previously purchased cds. it was so cool to hear some of the samples as it reminded me of a younger time.
