  • Icicle debuts with Under the Ice image
  • Jeroen Snik, AKA Icicle, will release his debut album this month on Shogun Audio. The record is called Under the Ice, a title Snik calls "a statement on how this album lies underneath the dance floor music Icicle has been known for." The London-based artist says he felt strongly that his first full-length should offer something different from his 12-inches. "Being predominantly known for DJ-friendly drum & bass rollers, [Under the Ice] for me was the time to write music that's appealing, a little in the clubs still, but mostly for the iPod." The album makes a clear nod to Snik's classic house and techno influences, in part with vocal appearances from Chicago legend Robert Owens, who narrates the intro and sings on the track "Redemption." Other guest appearances come from SP:MC, Proxima and DRS. Tracklist 01. Step Forward feat. Robert Owens 02. Deadnaught feat. SP:MC 03. Breathing Again feat. Proxima 04. Nausea 05. Bitter Taste feat.
