WE LVE PRESENTS DOUBLE 99 EXCLUSIVE DJ SET!



You Scream, we Scream, Ice Cream...



Ice Cream records is set to go down in history as the foremost record label to pioneer the first ever UK Garage cross over, the catalytic bassline track Rip Groove by Double 99. From their infancy back in 1997, Ice Cream helped to carve the way for what can be described today as a very healthy and vibrant UK urban scene.



The creatives behind this ground breaking label, Andy Lysandrou, Tim Deluxe and Omar Adimora started to gather momentum back in 1995, dropping their first release, 'Pick Me Up'.



With Tim Deluxe and DJ Omar, (aka Double 99, RIP Productions, and 10 Below), making the music, Andy L was tasked with heading up the A&R, promotion, and marketing.



Between the years of 1995 and early 1997, Ice Cream released some all time underground classics including, 'Deep Inspiration', 'Obsessed', 'Work It', 'Club Traxs vol.1', 'The Players', and 'Move To Jersey'.



As 1996 became ‘97, Ice Cream decided to go all experimental, and with the epic buzz emanating from DJs, record shops, radio, and clubs, they ejected a musical climax with the introduction of their double-pack, featuring two 12" vinyls. Something which for those lucky enough to part with their cash at the time still kicks a beat deep down in the old blood pump.



The double-pack, titled Double 99, featured 8 epic tracks, each with their own unique vibe, with one track really standing out from the crowd: Rip Groove. Released in the March of 1997, demand heavily outweighed supply, and within 3 days this Double 99 sold out in every independent record store from London to Dublin. With demand so high, Ice Cream had to rush release the second batch within 48 hours, with some shops opening until midnight, allowing punters to get a taste of this fresh new flava!
