From the mind behind Iceman Records comes ICELAB a fresh new imprint focused on today’s producers, not the 90s/2000s legends.
No reissues. No nostalgia. Just forward-thinking club music.
After years of development and quiet dedication, @freesugarfree proudly presents her official debut release ’Disociando’.
These four tracks, road-tested and familiar to those who’ve followed her, have finally taken their definitive form. The EP explores the dancefloor as a space for presence combining introspective textures with straightforward rythms, reflecting Icelab’s exploratory vision.

- The Mind Behind ICE001-
Dan Butler, originally from Bletchley, currently based in Bedford (UK), reflects on how his early clubbing experiences in the 90’s shaped his deep passion for the sounds that felt a bit more emotional and, perhaps, other-worldly. He acknowledges the influence of Detroit house and techno but emphasizes the importance of creating a unique sound rather than imitating others.
In his own words “I'm no gear junkie, or tech-nerd, I'm really not. I work in IT and people often say I'm not your typical IT guy! I play around with ideas a lot in the studio, often arriving at happy accidents that make the final cut. It's as much about the machines controlling me as me controlling the machines, and I don't mind admitting that.
My younger listening years were spent gorging on a lot of goth and industrial music, which you often heard less about from other techno producers through the 90s and 00s, something I always felt gave me a slightly different edge to my evolution and ultimately my production style. “
Iceman Records is pleased to launch it's first release with such a masterly artist.
Under the passionate direction of Fonte, Iceman Records is set to launch in February, spotlighting artists from the '90s and 2000s who, despite their exceptional talent, went unnoticed.
This label aims to resurrect forgotten musical gems, providing a platform for these artists to share their unique creativity. With a vision to blend the classic with the contemporary, Iceman Records promises a thrilling revival in the realm of electronic music.
Physical release only.
