Szép csendben megérkezett ICR harmadik albuma is, a Something About Nothing. A minőséget megszoktuk, nemcsak mi, hanem a nemzetközi fejek is, az igazi különlegesség pedig az, hogy kivételesen ez a lemez fizikai formátumban is megjelent. Hiper ritka, hiper olcsó!

"This is really really good! Some of the best drum programming I've ever heard! Very good listening music, worthwile to check it!"~ Tony Colman/London Elektricity (Hospital Records, UK)"ICR is one of the most talented and original subversive jungle producers coming up with very rich atmospheres and fresh melodies.

Paul Reset’s notes:
After ICR’s two Mp3 only releases on Nerve, we decided it was time to get him on some vinyl for us!
The first track on the release – “Fill The Sky” is an epic chunk of dark dnb. It grows and grows and grows until it peaks at the end with some crashing apocalyptic breaks and grungy stabs. “Skanner” on the flip is on a whole different tip – its kinda dubby dnb meets techstep – strange I hear you say, well yes, but tis absolutely wicked so download it and fire it up!
Both tracks showcase ICRs amazing production talent once again and I can’t recommend his music highly enough so have a wander over to his site at http://www.icrmusic.blogspot.com/ and have a listen at more of his stuff
Once again – artwork duties were carried out by the guys at Yuva.TV.

Paul Reset’s notes:
The original of Words was released on NERVEBP002 and we decided to go back in on it for the next MP3 only release.
ICR turned in his own remix which toughened up the track a tad – harder beats and bass but with the same eerie atmosphere of the original. For the flip we drafted in Scottish producer Lowbrow and his remix is a lovely slice of minimal, techy dnb. With the minimal thing being so popular in dnb at the mo, I’ve dropped this into the odd set this year and it’s went down a treat.

Paul Reset’s notes:
For the second of our Mp3 only releases we were very pleased to welcome onboard another amazing drum n bass producer from Hungary – ICR.
This man is one of the the most prolific drum n bass producers ever to fire up a sequencer. I’d started chatting to him online and he sent me amazing tune after amazing tune and I thought “Words” just had to come out on Nerve. It was perfect for us – tough beats and bass with an epic spooky breakdown and an eerie almost unsettling atmosphere. Amazing stuff.
For the flip we went for the more spacey beats of “Arcadia” – a bit on the lighter side but by no means a weaker track.
We released a few more ICR outings and more on those later. For now I recommend you check outICR’s site and his new label Misspent Music.

I'm happy to present you the third official ICR album entitled "Something About Nothing". It's a concept album which is basically made three years ago but haven't had the chance to finish and put it together properly yet. Now it's completed (still would love to put some vocals on the intro tho) and ready to show you some audio. (this artwork may not be the final version) Coming out in digital format on Misspent Music this autumn.

artist: ICR"The spring is my love, There is a spring rezzling in the trees, Felt my heart was delighted, rebirth of all kind, Sceneries which fulfill my soul, It will tranqually last forever in my mind" ~ RMB - Springpress release:
In the footsteps of his debut release on Misspent, ICR is back again with two long-forgotten, yet highly-coveted tracks. Both "Feels Like Spring" and "Tingle Tangle" were lost for eons in a label's "forthcoming" folder. Not to worry though, as the seasons change, spring brings forth their time to blossom. After Sub's cold, winter release, Misspent 012 is all about uplifting and emotive textures. This colorful and vibrant offering is sure to put smiles on dancers' faces as they open up windows and let the fresh sounds in.

Tracklist:
A. Cerberuspress release:
Continuing on with an international agenda, ICR pushes forward with his Misspent Music digital imprint. In the latest installment, the Hungarian label head invites SUB, a cornerstone in the Austrian drumfunk scene, for the eleventh release. SUB's four-track 'Cerberus EP' is a guaranteed adrenaline-fueled journey for all fans of tight, intricate drumwork. With ecstatic, complex drum edits and patterns (which operate on two different tempos), the lead track "Cerberus" immediately takes the listener's pulse to a higher level. On "Ode In The Back" we discover an elegant rhythm section, electrified effects, and melodic strings reminiscent of classic PHOTEK's smooth, jazzy sound. CYCOM's remix of "The King" brings forth tension in its sinister soundscapes and breaks with the sharpness of Samurai swords - a signature sound within the German producer's work. Last but not least, the label boss' version of "The Shadow" eases up the tempo to successfully round out the EP with a less breaky, more Neurofunk ending. ~ words by KuLi/Stunna
