ICR Biography

Zoltán Gál aka ICR is the latest of the young hungarian
producers shaping the futuristic sounds of drum & bass.
He has been a key figure in the local scene for a while as
he is the originator - and now co-editor - of the country's
only, well-respected urban music Internetmagazine,
Impulsecreator (http://www.drumandbass.hu) that hit
the web in 1999. After numerous mp3 releases on the
self-established Internet label (that also consisted
such dnb stalwarts like SKC or Chris.SU) he immediately
found himself as an upcoming producer with tunes played
out by DJs in the States, Canada and Germany.
"Very unique and definately running, but deep at the same time" - as the critics said.

ICR's debut 12" release came out in march 2003 (at only the age of 20) on America's main man for d&b: Breakbeat Science. "Both Rock The Sky and Stolen Symmetry master the fine art of balancing dance floor sensibility with colorful musicality." Both featured on DJ Dara's Breakbeat Science: Exercise.01 mix CD and the vinyl was charted and played out by the likes of Future Engineers. Shortly after the Orgone debut single he also contributed a track (Wide Awake) on Germany's Basswerk - voted best national label 2003 - compilation CD and vinyl alongside one of his ideal of producers, The Green Man. "ICR manages to bring in a musical touch as if doing a d&b remix of Dead Can Dance."

Since as his style and production developed, he has been noticed by the likes of LTJ Bukem, ASC, Klute, Pendulum or Fellowship and getting good responses commonly saying that his music is just very clean and original - something deep to whatch out for.

For the end of the year he already put out an online single with Nerve ("Tough, dancefloor dnb with a slightly deeper edge"), remixed by atmospheric master ASC for leftfield specialist Offshore and featured on LTJ Bukem's prestigious Progression Sessions 10 . The year 2005 hopefully brings more chance to emerge his talents.
