Returning to his early roots, ‘Ice Cold Dealer’ highlights Loco Dice’s signature blend of tech-house and hip-hop influences. Having started as a hip-hop DJ in the early ‘90s, Dice developed a keen rhythmic instinct that later shaped his distinctive techno sound. This time, he teams up with Haftbefehl—renowned for multi-platinum hits like 069 and RADW—to craft a high-energy club anthem. The track kicks off with minimalist production, layered with Haftbefehl’s raw, unmistakable vocals, before diving into a deep 808 bassline that pulses beneath crisp claps and dynamic frequencies. By tapping into the gritty energy of 2000s party anthems and UK garage influences, Dice and Haftbefehl have created yet another surefire club hit with Ice Cold Dealer.
‘Ice Cold Dealer’ provides a fresh taste of Loco Dice’s upcoming project, Purple Jam, which will be the German DJ/producer’s fourth studio album. This track marks a significant moment in the artist’s evolving sound, with more exciting collaborations on the horizon. As anticipation builds for the album’s full release, fans can look forward to even more club-worthy tracks from Loco Dice in the months to come.
