Additional All the Things You Are 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

This mix in particular I love because of the vocal tracks and my favorite "escape" which was a super-anthem at all the S.FLa. Having been a South Florida resident when Icey was coming up, I can attest to the fact that he is THE man when it comes to representing the breaks scene/sound that is characteristic of that region. Thanks to his mad skill he has been able to spread the love around the world. raves in the late 90's. This is a sweet 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.
the cd lacked subtance,this is electronic dance music which i don't like. this cd did nothing to make me want to dance. this is not funky and it should not be put under this heading on amazon. there was only one track that i liked and it was dooms night, which i already have.
However, I should point out that no two D.J. Icey album, listen to this one. If you listen to no other D.J. Icey albums are ever exactly alike. From Essential Mix, you get a good feel for the kind of music D.J. Icey puts into his mixes on other albums. Each one shows a different dimension of who that man is, and what his music is about. Essential Mix will have you jump'n real good.
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.
