In the time before iPods, all of the stuff on his own label was pressed on vinyl. In 1993, he started his own record label called Zone, which is still around today. Icey started as a resident at a nightclub called The Edge in Orlando, Florida.
He was one of the first to produce the quintessential Florida Breaks sound. One DJ who brought the scenes together was DJ Icee, who later became DJ Icey (yes, a local ice cream store came after him and made him change his name). Breaks in South Florida, though, had a Miami electro-bass sound, often lovingly referred to as "that ghetto bass." Local DJs like R Fresh, Merlyn and Scratch D of Dynamix II would mix an Anthony Rother song with a Gucci Crew song followed by a freestyle song, and every rave massive sideroom with a big headliner would be popping off with loyal, local ravers that just wanted to hear their town's sound.
