Raw, real, and unfiltered, this is the sound of survival. Global techno innovator Loco Dice and German rap heavyweight Haftbefehl collide on Ice Cold Dealer. This track is a bold fusion of tech-house and street-hardened lyricism. The bass-heavy, club-ready banger previews Dice’s forthcoming album, Purple Jam, setting the stage for a project that blurs the lines between underground rap and cutting-edge electronic music. Dice had to say:
There aren’t many German rappers who talk about things I can truly relate to. Haftbefehl is one of them. He speaks about the very reality I grew up with on the streets of Germany. The way he raps is the same way we speak in the hood — raw, real, and unfiltered. His music captures the essence of life in urban Germany, particularly in immigrant communities. It’s about crime, survival, family, and the daily struggles of growing up in a tough environment. We came from nothing and faced the same struggles, but we made it. We built something out of all the challenges we had to overcome. It’s the same hustle, the same drive to rise above the odds and create our own path.
Returning to his hip-hop roots, Loco Dice crafts a track dripping in dark, minimalist production, where Haftbefehl’s unmistakable grit slices through a low, droning 808 bassline and pulsating tech beats. The duo taps into the resurgence of early 2000s party music and UK garage influences, creating a sound that hits just as hard in the streets as it does in the club. With "Purple Jam" on the horizon, Loco Dice is promising more high-voltage collaborations and club-shaking anthems. "Ice Cold Dealer" is just the beginning.
