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.

Piecelock 70 is proud to present the follow up to Day’s sold out instrumental album Land of 1000 Chances, Doc Delay’s Morgan. A fixture for many years in the international remix and dj scene, Delay’s highly anticipated producer album is sure to please existing fans and gain new ones alike.

This unique album takes a style of production rooted in hip hop and adds a variety of different self played instruments, found vocals and complex changes to elevate it to an opus that defies genres - an album that is as easily psychedelic as it is electronic. A natural musician, Doc Delay weaves his compositions around ghostly vocal performances and samples, creating a haunting, unique masterpiece that is already garnering praise from top critics worldwide.

"I don't know how he did it, but Delay made loner soul, psych rock and hip hop live together in a crazy, harmonious space. Morgan is gonna blow some minds."
