ICICLE [ NL] . PORTORIO.11 DE ABRIL
The slingers e a Syndicate juntam esforços e no sábado, dia 11 de abril, no Porto-rio, apresentam pela primeira vez em portugal o holandês ICICLE, um dos produtores que em 2008 ganhou um lugar de destaque no panorama do drum'n'bass internacional, com edições em várias labels de onde se destaca a shogun audio de friction, a renegade hardware e a subtitles.

Numa noite onde as sonoridades mais deep do espectro do drum'n'bass devem imperar, o cartaz conta ainda com NUNO FORTE, um nome verdadeiramente incontornável do drum'n'bass nacional e o colectivo Syndicate em toda a sua força, com SLEEPZ, e os lisboetas DR. KI e MAIN SHIFT ( sly e mr gee), nomes pouco habituais no norte que fazem do cartaz desta festa um dos mais frescos a passar pelo portorio nos últimos tempos.

o upperdeck vai contar também com um line up de qualidade com DJ SPOT num set que navega entre as sonoridades funk/hip-hop/breaks, ficando o dubstep a cargo de DR KI e de MENACE FM.

welcome to the deep side of drum'n'bass.

ENTREVISTA A ICICLE

How did you start the whole DJ/Producer thing?
Who were your main influences that got you to dj and Producing?
It started a long time ago I guess. I started making music on the computer when I was really young, at the time I was also playing piano and a bit later I got into playing the drums. When I was about 15 I bought my first set of decks and started djing, I got my first gigs when I was about 17 and slowly started playin my own tunes in my sets. When people told me they couldnt tell which ones were my own tunes and which ones where released tunes I figured I might have a chance releasing some music and I started sending my music to labels. I got alot of interest from a few labels and soon got my first release. Thats how it went in short.

How do you describe your sound?
The sound I'm propably most well known for is the rolling minimalistic stuff with heavy basslines. Although I try not to pin myself down to one sound too much, I've always done some more musical stuff and curently am doing alot of stuff with strong influence from contemporary techno.

Who are the artists that you are feeling at the present day? (dnb wise and other genres)
In drum and bass I am currently really into Spinline, Alix Perez and Spectrasoul. I find myself playin their stuff in my sets all the time. Outside of dnb I'm really into recent stuff by Stimming, Marco Carola, Guido Schneider, Gui boratto and loads more.

You are going to release your album on Shogun Audio. How is that coming, want to tell us a little bit about it?
Well, I want to make sure that this album wont be 10 dancefloor tracks that could have been a bunch of 12"es. I've started scetching the outlines of the project and have started work on the first tunes for it. I want to work with diffrent artists on it including producers from diffrent genres and vocalists.

How do you feel about, what looks like a new era in Drum and bass, going full circle, and grabing the 90´s style again, going back to experimentation and a more minimal sound?
I don't think it's right to call it a new era, as you said it's just going back to the classic '98 sound but with more modern production technique. I love that sound and its what has influenced me most within drum and bass. But I always try to remember that if we continue to make these tunes we need to bring more to the table. The genre isnt going to progress if we keep repeating ourselves.

Steak or vegetables?
Well I had Kobe beef in Kobe last month and that was definately the best food I ever tasted, than again I do like my vegetables.

What do you have to say to young producers starting out? any tips in the studio?
Keep working hard, as long as you know in your head what you want to hear, all you have to do its keep trying. eventually you will make that tune that sets you apart from the rest. Drum and bass labels are pretty interested in new artists so don't be afraid to send your stuff around but make sure whatever you send is the best you can make it. You only get one first impression.
