An Interview with DJ Icey |
|
How did you get started in the electronic music scene? Got started collecting records and making Mix tapes for my Surfing buddies at New Smryna Beach inlet in Florida, where I hung out at, that led to my first proper gig, as I had a huge collection of 12" singles of various genres. I set up some Pawn shop/ Garage Sale belt driven turntables and a $25 Radio SHack Mixer on a Pool Tableat a DIve Bar.
You are known as the "King of Funky Breaks", what is it about this genre that you really love? I don't consider my self the King of Anything, I don't give a fuck about labels and all that, a magazine in 99 came up with that term and It stuck, and my first proper released mix cd was called The Funky Breaks. I do love Breaks though, very much.

An Interview With Dan Stark |
|

Congratulations on being voted as Cleveland's favorite DJ. Did you ever expect to get this recognition? No….but happy people are digging the music!
What do you want to say to the people that supported you through this process? I would like to say…”Thank you!” The scene in Cleveland is growing, and it’s an exciting time to be involved in the Electronic Music Scene. With out the support from friends, family and the party people, the parties themselves would be kinda boring, they make the scene! How did you get started in the music industry? My friends bought me my first pair of turntables in early 04”…by that October I was opening up for George Acosta at Moda w/ Deviant. Without the support from my friends, I would still be a fan only, nothing wrong with being a fan, I still am a Fan of the Music first and a DJ second. So a Huge Thank you goes out to that wonderful group of people who have supported me throughout the years! |
