DJ Icey

DJ Icey, (born Eddie Pappa) often referred to as the "King of Funky Breaks" (Mixmag April 1998) is the multi platinum Moonshine Records recording artist responsible for defining Funky Breaks and Florida Breaks.

Born and raised in Florida, DJ Icey first got interested in music in his teens. He was especially fond of early 1980s new wave synth pop, industrial, and hip-hop music. The boom in club music during the late 1980s hooked him and when he began DJing early in the 1990s, he usually played out acid house and funky breaks.{{fact} He gained his first residency at The Edge a large club in Orlando, Florida, where he is also credited with getting The Chemical Brothers their first US show on July 4, 1993.^{[citation needed]}

When British DJ and longtime A&R kingpin Pete Tong heard an early single produced for Icey's own Zone Records in 1996, he signed the big-beat precursor Galaxy Breaks to his ffrr label.^{[citation needed]} DJ Icey still runs Zone Records and the Tree imprint, but often releases tracks and remixes on many labels under various pseudonyms including: DJ Icee, Flip, Fluppy, Future Lover, Groove Ascender, Jarko Boomer, Lickety-Split, Mia, Montana Rangers, Mr. Tasty, Reactor 7, Richard Fuck, Sanctuary Mission, Sign Of The Times, and Yo-Yo Rodeo.^{[citation needed]}
