I-Cue (NYC)
DJ / Producer / Hipstep Pioneer
 
Surviving on talent and desire, while ingeniously creating a unique experimental blend of Hip Hop / Drum and Bass music known as Hip Step (Hip-hop Influenced Productions Stimulating The Earth People), I-Cue is out to make more than just a little noise. Drawing from diverse musical backgrounds, he blends his tracks flawlessly and produces music to move the masses.

A true innovator in a world of followers, I-Cue holds the title of Hip Step pioneer... one of the few in the world. As a skilled turntablist / junglist, he brings diversity to the crowd, bridging hip hop and drum and bass into a style now known as hip step - drum and bass and hip hop as one.

I-Cue has also shown a range of production styles with numerous acid jazz / hip hop releases dating back from 1994 to 1996 on a label called New Breed Records. This is the point in I-Cue's career (and history) where the hip step genre began to develop - a subgenre of the new jungle hop / jump up genre. In 1996, I-Cue was signed to the infamous Liquid Sky Records.

Near the end of the millennium, I-Cue was the brainchild behind many hip step productions under the moniker "Mike & Ike", as well as other releases of his own on the Liquid Sky / Jungle Sky record label, such as "On A Journey", "Plutonic", "Deja Vu", "U Know My Steeze" (released under moniker Blunderground Massive), and the New York City hip step anthem "Next Level $#it" featuring T.R.A.C. in 2000. 

Not only is I-Cue one of the most skillful turntable technicians in the US Drum and Bass scene, this native New Yorker has spun at the now legendary NASA and is presently a resident at Konkrete Jungle NYC.

His skills are ingenious, his tracks are creative and unique, and he is a pro as he lays down the experimental foundation of the hip step style - a hybrid mash-up of hip hop, jungle, drum and bass, and breaks.

Dave Shichman (Vocals, Music, Production), Dan Brady aka Mixmaster Doc (Production, Percussion), and Bernie ‘Bernzilla’ Kenerson (EWI), have come together to create a new vocal-driven downtempo project entitled BLOOM FOCUSED. Textured with deep melodies and maintaining a dark, electronic edge, the music draws inspiration from the Jazz, Folk, Downtempo, Drum & Bass, and Pop. This collaborative music pushes boundaries, crosses tempos, and steps outside of the conventional dance floor music while retaining the groove and flow these three individuals are known for: deep bass, groovy, funky drums, and a hint of dark dissonance.
