Say hello to Ice Island, the project of Steven Hawley, previously the brainchild/frontman of indie dance ensemble, Codebreaker. After working with artists from The Juan Maclean, Miami Horror to Kathy Diamond & The Outrunners, Codebreaker ultimately disbanded in 2013. Going off the grid to focus on business endeavors and personal growth, Hawley quietly worked on new material honing a fresh inspiration and sound.
After debuted last year with “Enemies”, a collaborative tune with Tonebox, Ice Island just dropped his debut single “The General” and it’s a great one! It’s a big, warm, catchy tune with toughness and vulnerability. A new sound that still manages to hit with familiar, cinematic-like adventure. The single comes backed with an extended mix, a tasteful slice for extended disco enjoyment, and a superb remix by Los Angeles-based producer Woolfy. Enjoy the ride.
The single “The General” is out now. Buy it here.
