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.

I am a composer, songwriter, guitarist, singer and lover of all things music.  Style is always a flexible avenue, i adore different ways to write and am keen to explore new ideas to express my ever expanding sonic thirst. 

I started playing guitar when i was 15 and wrecked my beautiful classical guitar playing grunge. Joined my first band at 17 and kept getting heavier and more extreme musically, also at the same time exploring Melbourne's underground rave and psy trance scene, later working in venues with glitch hop and DnB acts, I got a firm idea of what i liked inside Electronic music. I had a few talented mates help me out with the logistics of using the software and how to manipulate audio waves.

No style is safe and the bar is forever changing direction

Welcome to official Candy Kid soundcloud page.

Native Belarusian and long-time Brooklynite, Slava a.k.a. Candy Kid has been tearing up dance floors across the United States and Canada with his unique style and adrenaline-packed sets of Happy Hardcore, Gabber, DnB, Breakbit, and Acid & Euro-Trance since 2001.
Slava originally got into electronic music while living in Minsk back in '93 listening to Marusha, Blumchen, Scooter, WestBam, DJ Hooligan, Das Modul, Dune, Charlie Noise & Mental Theo, Red 5 and Brooklyn Bounce. After his uncle had taught him to dejay at a young age, Slava was able to pursue his dreams of putting smiles on faces and making dance floors shake once he moved to New York City and was able to buy records and dejay equipment.
You can retrace Candy Kid's first dejay set back to NYC's Halloween 2001. Since then, Slava has torn up American dance floors from east coast to west coast (and everywhere between), plays Canada on a yearly basis, and makes fans groove worldwide. His current inspirations are producers such as Hixxy, Brisk, Dougal & Gammer, Impact, Mark Smith, Angerfist, Joey Riot, Kurt, Sc@r.
Slava is currently the owner of New York City's only Happy Hardcore recording label Galaxy Express Recordings, which launched in 2009. In January 2014, Slava also co-founded his first original production project Apocalypse Friends, who's music is a lethal concoction of hardcore, DnB, and trance with classical piano, Nintendocore, and ska. Along with his apocalypse friend Maria Flux, the duo has released an entirely original album.
Many people wonder why Slava picked the dejay name Candy Kid. The real story behind the name goes back to when Slava was growing up in Belarus, and he ate so much candy he earned the nickname Sweet-Tooth. Before arriving in America, he had never heard of kandi/kandi-kids (etc). While a lot of people think he chose the name Candy Kid because of its social reception, the name is as simple as syrup -- Slava loves sugar.
But don't let the name fool you - Candy Kid can throw down some hard and dirty beats, showing you that even the sweetest people have a dark-side. Fueling the crowd with happiness and providing an outlet for self-expression is always the biggest reward for Slava. His infections love and endless energy are what truly defines Candy Kid.
