Amazon.com 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 Similarly Requested CDs

CD ReviewsYou like dance music?....you BETTER have this ! Michael Mayhem | Greenville,SC | 05/10/2005 (5 out of 5 stars) "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." Absolutely bumpin mix! bobbyisgod420 | Sebring, FL USA | 10/02/2000 (5 out of 5 stars) "I just picked up this cd yesterday and it has not left my cd player yet.....it is an AWESOME mix of funky breaks, electro funk, and breaks that anyone who calls themself a fan of techno music should have.....Novy vs. Eniac's "Pumpin" is probably the best track I have heard in MONTHS.....absolutely mind-blowing. Go get this cd NOW!! Icey's best cd yet....I hope to see more Essential Mixes by other artists." Another hit from the god of electro breaks. Jason Lee | Grosse Ile, MI United States | 12/07/2000 (5 out of 5 stars) "Every album that DJ Icey releases always takes me by suprise - he keeps improving his skills while staying true to the funky breaks and electro beats that have made him so well known. In this appropriately named Essential Mix he throws in his own music along with other electro beat DJs and even threw in some progressive house to sweeten the mix. Overall this is a fast-paced funky mix that is essential to your DJ Icey/electro break collection. I would recommend this album to anyone new to this style of techno or hardcore fans - it deserves more than five stars."
