about

Ice Island is the long awaited 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 & personal growth, Hawley quietly worked on new material honing a fresh inspiration & sound.

Ice Island debuted in 2019 on a collaboration with synthwave sensation, Tonebox for the track, Enemies. Tonebox's invigorating brand of futurism combined with Hawley's commanding vocals & writing instincts made a fairly substantial splash.

'The General' is Ice Island's first official single. It's a big, warm, catchy tune with toughness and vulnerability. A new sound that still manages to hit with familiar, cinematic-like adventure. Also included is the 'Ice Island Extended Mix', a tasteful slice for extended disco enjoyment.
Not to be outdone is a fantastic remix by Woolfy (DFA/Permanent Vacation), a hypnotizing exercise in YAZ channeling electro-funk that resolves in hypnotic trance dance twists and turns.

Look for a new stream of Ice Island material to follow & live shows when conditions permit.
