Sent to subscribers of my mailing list, ICONtact Gung Hay Fat Choy! It's one week until Chinese New Year and I am feeling great about the year of the Tiger. RAWR! As I've bitched and moaned to you before, 2009/year of the Ox was just not my year; I wedged myself into a pretty deep funk, but what a difference a month makes! In January (damn, where did the month go?), I had some time off to regroup; had a new release that's getting good reviews and *SPECIAL BONUS ALERT* for my subscribers! My man, Ali B, has just released his slamming new 'Nu Funk' mix on the new Air Recordings website that I recently designed and built! See below for details. If you've missed out on anything, all info is below. See you on the dancefloor soon! xxoo, ICONnie NEW WEBSITE! NEW RELEASE #9 ON BREAKS/#24 ON ELECTRO HOUSE CHARTS A: Original Mix - This dreamy breakbeat tune sees Orlando's Dustin Hulton, formerly known to the breakbeat world as D-Lerium, team up with San Francisco's DJ ICON for a coast-to-coast combo laced with classiness by vocalist Nikki Carabello. Big drums, catchy synths, underlaid sub, and bass drops topped off with a half time wind-down in the middle, make for a spectacular build-up of energy in this highly stylish endeavor. B: Wireless Mice Remix - Remix efforts by Wireless Mice chop and stutter Nikki Carabello's vocal to the tune of an electro house kick drum. Complimented by super effects and a driving synth/bassline, Wireless Mice turn out the perfect electro gem remix. Listen on Soundcloud FEATURED TOP 10 BEATPORT CHART Also on Beatport is my DJ ICON'S TOP 10 WEAPONS OF CHOICE Chart! BREAKSPOLL 2009 Lastly, I wanted to ask you a small favor. Voting is open on this year's Breakspoll International Breakbeat Awards. Please vote for me as 2009 BREAKTHROUGH DJ. Your support would mean the world to me!VOTE NOW!

My Top 10 Chart on Beatport

Check out my new top 10 chart... after deliberation from Beatport, they put it on the Breaks page as a featured chart. Originally it was denied because it had too much Electro House. Go figure, haha! To be fair, there is also some Dubstep to keep it interesting... Enjoy!

Hello my pretties, I HAVE EXCITING NEWS! :) Two monumental long-awaited events are finally here:
#1 EXCITING THING:
My first ever release, Dustin Hulton & DJ ICON ft. Nikki Carabello "Welcome To My Dancefloor" on Illeven Eleven is OUT NOW on Beatport! YAY! It's been a long time coming; I have no idea why it took me this long to put out a finished piece of music but I am very happy and I plan on going strong in 2010! We are already #9 on the Breaks chart and #31 on the Electro House chart. Listen on Soundcloud:
#2 EXCITING THING:
At long last, DJICON.COM v.5 is complete... IT'S ALIIIIIIVE! For those of you who noticed, I have had my website down for about a year now because I was tired of the old layout but haven't had time to redesign and build it. Since January is a slow-down month, I dedicated all my energy into designing a beautiful site and building it in the powerful Joomla CMS. Total geek mode! Please check it out and let me know what you think! :)
Stay warm & I hope to see you shaking that booty on the dancefloor! :) x
Yours Truly,
ICONnie
