-Zone Records DJ Icee Energy Traxx Vol. 1 (N.N.I.D.M.) -If I'm not on a pedestal praising bass i'm on the dance -floor breaking my legs to the hype of freestyle. This 4 tracker -is 1 part freestyle breaks 1 part energy. The combination of -the two spells certain death among techno purists, but I for -one will be the first to give the ICEEman a high five. Anyone -who can effectively *bring it back* right up off the Nu Groove -classics like How and Little's (SUMMER SLAMS) gets the Teepee -seal of quality technobass. The breakdowns are all 1994, dusted -like the Brothers above, but the freestyle is straight from the -late 80's. Brooklyn in the house. . the return of the boom bap. -Could my prophecy of a freestyle rennaissance be coming true? just a couple bits of info.. icee is a dj here in orlando, florida.. the record, at least at first, is not being received well here.. i must admit i didn't even listen to it because someone whose musical taste i respect a lot completely bagged it.. i'll listen to it next time.. hottest records i've heard lately: sven vath & ralf hildenbeutel's completely smoking remix of laurent garnier's 'planet sex'.. anytime you see those three names with a hand in the same record, you know its good.. and it is. ralf hildenbeutel & markus deml's earth nation project on eye-q called 'alienated'.. brings out the martian in you.. and the new speedy j remix of 'pepper' is not chopped liver either..
