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 currently in the top 10 on Breaks & #24 on Electro House dance charts on Beatport; designed and launched my new website djicon.com; had a featured top 10 chart; made plans for next production and WMC. Lastly, please vote for me as 2009 Breakthrough DJ on Breakspoll!

*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!

At long last, DJICON.COM v.5 is LIVE! After being down for the last year, it's back in a bigger, badder, rougher and tougher form. I dedicated all my energy in January into designing a beautiful new site and building it in the powerful Joomla CMS; getting my geek on! Special thanx to Brandon Sugiyama aka Bam for doing the awesome flash intro for me. I've been getting good feedback so far so please check it out and let me know what you think! :)


NEW RELEASE #9 ON BREAKS/#24 ON ELECTRO HOUSE CHARTS

My new release, Dustin Hulton & DJ ICON ft. Nikki Carabello "Welcome To My Dancefloor" on Illeven Eleven is OUT NOW on Beatport and moving on up! Yay!

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.

FEATURED TOP 10 BEATPORT CHART

Also on Beatport is my DJ ICON'S TOP 10 WEAPONS OF CHOICE Chart!
It's a diverse mix of Breaks, Electro House & Dubstep. After deliberation that there was too much Electro House, Beatport was kind enough to give it a featured banner on the Breaks section. Thanks guys! :)

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
