In Step with Icedbreaks

Venus in Furs at Billiards, Saturday, August 6th

Sinfully, it has been too long since I've posted on this blog. Since April 27, here is what has been going on with the crew...

• The COP PORN show in Mandan, ND was a bust. I had a great weekend out with STAR IV and DEXTRIOUS. Got to play some great disc golf courses and entertain a dope afterhours, but for the most part, Jokers was empty. Maybe it was a Mothers' Day conflict that kept people from attending.

• DJ Clarity is moving to a new residence in N. Fargo. If you live on Broadway, keep your ears perked up for some wikked bass.

• STAR IV has made a couple of trips to the Duluth area to represent. Keeping the Villas alive with Hardcore Tim is a difficult task, but STAR IV was there in full effect. He played with OLEE at Rudy's and rocked the villa for hours.

• Icedbreaks is in the process of purchasing a small Mackie Active PA system. We will have use it for all future house parties and DIY events.

• STAR IV and CLARITY played for YOUR BREAK BEAT MY BREAK on May 21. Event info is on this blog and event comments are here on Saboingaden.

• I (Joyride) has been pryed away from the speaker stacks at the East Gate Lounge in leu of the jukebox. A bad move from our point of view, but what can you do. All apologies to you who really dug that sound.

• The last time we fired up the stacks at the East Gate, DJ ARSON was there to light up the new dancefloor on his SEX | POWER | OBSESSION homecoming tour. It was a great time with performances from ARSON, SPECIAL ED, STAR IV, IVORY DOME, DEADPAN DJ, and KOALA TEA. The sets from that night are available here and pictures from the second venue are here.

• All The Muzik (ATM Netwerk) presents C'MON RIDE THAT TRAIN on June 24th. Performances by MAN FROM DISCO alongside SPECIAL ED on auxillary percussion, JOYRIDE, BAKTATR (back from Humboldt), and a SPECIAL GUEST. The show is at the Great Northern Brewery... more info here.

• Plans are in the works with Grindthieves, International for a new monthly event at the Fargo Theater. Stay tuned for more information.

That should pretty much catch you up...

CLARITY
icedbreaks/impending doom radio
http://www.icedbreaks.com

STAR IV
icedbreaks/lust junction
http://www.icedbreaks.com / http://www.dragonradio.org
bring it back to the oldschool, star iv is going to put down the sissy music for a night and kick like he used - rough, tough, and dangerous! do not miss this, a rare treat, as star iv knows the sounds and has got the goods to deliver them!

DJ GZE
grindthieves, international
http://gze.grindthieves.com / http://www.grindthieves.com
come out and say hello to the newest member of grindthieves, international! this cat has been keeping a low profile for the last few years while slowly perfecting his craft and fine tuning his taste. he can kick out a nasty techno set, but tonite hell show you the drum.n.bass side of our newest member!

with a special live performance
ARTBREAKER
grindthieves, international/good fortune sound records
http://www.grindthieves.com / http://artbreaker.grindthieves.com
back from the proverbial grave, artbreaker has been putting in the work at the lab cooking up the hot new sound in midwestern jungle and drum.n.bass thats got people like general malice and audio1 taking note. tonite will be a special return live p.a. and will feature live mc work by the master of cermonies for the night, who artbreaker is collaborating with for future vinyl releases!

and the master of ceremonies
MC IVORY DOVE
south moorhead, mn
if youve not seen this cat rock the mic at quite a few parties and shows over the last few months, be sure to come see whay hes hosting the nights events! having the sick flows, the clean voice, and the sense to know when to grip the mic and when to put it down, this cat will bring the night together!

"MY BREAK BEAT YOUR BREAK" is an all day jungle/drum.n.bass celebration, so get ready and be prepared to hunker down in the trenches for the long haul. we will begin the day with bbqing, beatbreaking, bocce ball, beer drinking, and bitching at DEXTRIOUS' place. we will then move to East Gate Lounge for the nights true festivities. afterwards we will then make our way to GZEs place where he will be hosting our beerdrunk and beatbroke asses until we are done... whenever, however, whyever that is. E-Mail either ARTBREAKER or DEXTRIOUS for details, directions, etc.

we also want to take a second to shout out or boy SONAMI, as he will be heading off to iraq in may!

stay tuned to the websites for more information:

AGENT 420: FOR YOUR EYES ONLY
Icedbreaks is hosting another houseparty on Saturday, March 5th.

The details of this event are TOP SECRET. Your mission, if you choose to accept it, is to acquire the location of the event, penetrate this party, and proceed to get down with the coolest djs in town.

An inside operative, HAL, has infiltrated the host's secure server to recover a file that is suspected to contain the address of the party. HAL has placed a link to the file on a small dance website based in Fargo, North Dakota. Look here.

Agent 420, this is VERY important. This top secret file is encrypted. You will not be able to view the document without a password. The password is the moniker of the head DJ of Icedbreaks Entertainment. HINT

GODSPEED,
The Big Beat
contact me if you need help

Well, it's about time- I know- that a mix from the past finally made it to the Icedbreaks domain.

Thanks to Star IV, we've got about 20 new flyers posted to our flyer gallery! These are some aged event flyers that you may have missed out on.

To check them out, go here.

I wonder who else raved last night? If you made it to the Gisi afterhours, you were privvy to a great (and very rare) experience. It was like being back at 916 (happy birthday Trish) again. Dark room, one colored light, dancing in the darkness... totally fantastic!

Nigel Richards really kept the night going after a couple great sets from Clarity and Dextrious. What I'm sure of is that the afterhours went off last night. Shortly after Nigel's set, the night died out... but what do you expect in Fargo at 5am? All in all, an A++ night... Thanks Jason.

I've got some studio stuff to attend to and some fresh music to find. Tune in to Radio Free Fargo at 7pm (cst) tonight for my radio program, THE F-M EXPERIMENT. Click >>HERE<< to link directly to the high stream(96k) or >here< for the dialup stream (24k).

Awww yeah! The studio for the coldest of the cold has been re-assembled! Last night's drinking at home payed off. My MOTU Recording system has been re-installed, the off-kilter tables have all been made level, and speaker shelves have been hung.

I'm still missing the power conditioner for my MIDI interface, but as of today the room sounds great!

If you've ever wondered where DJ Joyride gets his stylistic influence, you can hear it first hand with your favorite radio stream application.

Especially when I'm studying or working on hands-on projects, I am constantly tuned into Limbik Frequencies! They've got the best and fastest growing of DUB and GLITCHY ambient tunes, many of which I can't find anywhere else on the web. Most of these liquid tracks come from abroad; featured on sites where english is clearly not the language of choice. The music that I deejay certainly doesn't sound like this, but I think that this stream puts into my head the flow of my sets.

A really nice feature of this stream is the ability to request songs via the Limbik Frequencies Homepage, at http://limbikfreq.com

Tune in for just a half an hour and I'm sure you'll have an experience you'll wish you had discovered years ago! ;o)

Have a good one!
~~ Joyride~~

Funktion Line-up
Well... it seems, unfortunately, that another DJ is suffering from the same plague that I am just recovering from.

This means that I will be filling in for DJ KOI performing at Funktion tonight at the OB.

See you there!

In Step with Iced Jocks
Alright!!! We've got the NEWEST DJ Arson available ANYWHERE!!! Hear it first on Icedbreaks.com...

BREAKS, BASS 'N BOOTY features a very new sound to the West Coast... We're sure you haven't heard anything like it in the Mid-West, either.

Find the mix HERE

Well, here it is. It seems that I've finally learned a totally new
technology. Here's to hoping that this blogging thing could really
expand the audience of Icedbreaks. I don't totally understand all of
the cool things it can do, but if I've got it all in my head right, it
could really bring a community together.

I hope to eventually send out announcements immediately when a new mix
gets posted. It'll be received by Icedbreaks fans that subscribe to our
*New Mix Notice* Blog feed and they'll get a notice in their browser
that a new mix is available... You'll then be able to click a link and
voila... the freshest music straight to your ears. I'm still trying to
get my brain around it, so bear with me.

I hope you look forward to growing with Icedbreaks as new ways to stay
in-touch emerge. This blog thing could be big... I've already got the
ability to call in MP3 recordings from houseparties... Directions
anyone? Woop!!!

Man, do I HATE that song... BEP, eat it.

On a brighter note, today is a GREAT day! I received some fresh vinyl today from Juno Records in the UK (www.juno.co.uk - in case you need a fix, too). Its like having Christmas any old time of year. I totally dig it!

Also, my cold/flu/plague has lifted from upon me!

I'm keeping this first one short... I'm anxious to see if this 'blogging' bit actually works. I've never been a web-file guru. I can make the web work, but when it comes to adding features... well -- Maybe you've seen my message board... its basically a hack.
