Jeroen Snik " aka Icicle " is recognised as one of the most technically advanced and highly-respected producers in electronic music. Mastering tech-funk better than any other, Icicles music is graceful yet daring and, without doubt, technically remarkable, tinged with intricate drum patterns reminiscent of Photek and entrancing, enveloping bass-lines la Jonny L and Optical.

After commanding the attention of the masses with releases on labels such as Shogun Audio, Soul:R, Renegade Hardware and Critical, Icicle made the move from Holland to London in 2008, and now officially reps Shogun Audio. Spartan, Icicles debut on Shogun, broke a musical mould and securely positioned his elaborate engineering skills on the proverbial map.

With bookings in abundance all over the world, Mr Freezes sound ventures have kept the listeners anticipating eagerly his every release prompting a dangerously frosty EP on Shogun Audio in 2009 - the Cold Fear EP - featuring an ice-cool collaboration Driftwood with tech-pioneers, Noisia. Impressively, Icicles deep, dark and futuristic dubstep has been fervently received on a global scale and caused groundbreaking responses from the dubstep world, thanks to Minimal Dub b/w Xylophobia released on Shogun Audio in 2010 and 'Anything' his debut for Tempa, arguably dubstep's most revered label. There really are no constraints to this producers aptitude - nothing short of astonishing.

Even greater news, then, that Icicles been working on his debut album for Shogun dropping in early 2011. The first release from the LP, Dreadnaught b/w Arrows, is a prime expression of Icicles super-human sonic force. Intelligent drum arrangements and mighty blood-warming bass-lines secure him firmly as one of the most flawless and exceptional electronic producers of his day.

Mizhap Productions teams up with Random Concept, one of the longest standing Drum n Bass brands hailing from the UK for the launch of Random Concept Australia.

Random Concept has been responsible for some of the biggest Drum n Bass events across the UK including being hosts to the Drum n Bass tent at Global Gathering, the largest dance music festival in the UK.

Its been a long time coming, but after nearly 5 years, and last playing NYE at Belvoir Amphitheatre in 2006, Grooverider is hitting our shores again, and there is no doubt in our minds that he is going to smash Villa to pieces.

The long awaited return of Black Sun Empire is also quite an exciting thing, since their last performance at Rise Nightclub in 2007, the anticipation for their return has been overwhelming. With the release of their highly successful Lights and Wires LP last year, there is no doubt BSE will impress and live up to our standards.

When you combine these two huge acts, along with the Australian launch of one of the biggest brands in Drum n Bass, you know you are going to be in for one hell of a party!

Tickets go on sale Monday 22nd August for $45+bf from Planet Video, Mills Records, DJ Factory, Moshtix Outlets and www.moshtix.com.au

Ahhh yes; remember the days when clubs were small, dimly lit sweat-pits full of friendly faces?

When youd rush from the car-park into a rave just in time to catch Greg Packer or Hutcho?

This was all around the same time you rotated every spare minute (and dollar) between Ragga Bone - with Lillys crazy dog sniffing your shoes, and Dadas - harassing JJ and Wrighteous for the latest and greatest jungle business.

Put your hands together Perth Old Skool massive, were bring all that back in a Jungle Shakedown! Weve gathered Perths finest Super Sharp Shooters from one of Perths hardest and purest musical eras in our record crates. Ready or Not, This will be a night of old-skool ruffneck business at the Home of the Underground.

The memories. The (old) faces. The friendly feel. And, most importantly, the sounds.

Tell your mates and get your old crew together for Jungle Shakedown " were taking it back to the old skool.

Amen.
