Please tell our readers who you are and what you do?
Hey, I'm Icecreamcult. I'm a producer, dj and artist based out of Seattle, Washington. I have been making a mix of electronic music and chill lofi hip hop beats for almost a decade now. I have moved across the united states 3 times from east coast to west so I met a lot of people and experienced a lot of culture growing up. I am currently in college for music education and maybe one day I can teach a music production or djing class. When I am not producing or djing, I am playing double bass for my colleges symphony orchestra.
Fun fact I go to the same college ODESZA went to.
How would you describe your influences and how have they changed over the years?
It all started with the movie Tron. I watched the first one when I was little and the sequel Tron: Legacy was coming out. I really loved the soundtrack, and my love for Daft Punk began. From there I just found electronic music to be so unique. My brother and friends listened to rap music though while I was growing up and I didnt like it at first, but it grew on me. I ended up developing a strong love for hip hop beats, especially 90's and 80's style beats. Now I am really influenced by Flying lotus, Hiatus Kaiyote, Elijah Who, Nujabes, Ta-ku and Flume. Basically a mix of weird electronic music and chill beats. I have to listen to a wide variety of music for my education, so you'll find me listening to literally anything. Stravinsky to Big L to Radiohead, its all cool to me.
What´s new right now?
I just released a new collab beat this week with a producer from Anman, Jordan named zai'. You can check that out here:

Also, I have a beat tape that came out 2 months ago but is getting some popularity now:

Other than that, I have a few small shows planned for Bellingham and Seattle Washington. Hoping I can eventually expand out and go on tour. New music wise, I have at least 4-5 new songs slated to come out this month, so stay tuned!
