Loco Dice drops ‘Ice Cold Dealer’ with Haftbefehl, blending techno & hip-hop
Loco Dice & Haftbefehl team up for ‘Ice Cold Dealer,’ a genre-crossing track blending tech-house with German rap energy.
Pushing creative boundaries once again, Loco Dice teams up with Haftbefehl for “Ice Cold Dealer,” a track that seamlessly merges techno’s pulsing energy with the raw intensity of German hip-hop. Released via Astralwerks, the single serves as a preview of Dice’s forthcoming album, Purple Jam.
The track builds from minimalist production into a deep, droning 808 bassline, crisp claps, and hypnotic uptempo frequencies, setting the perfect backdrop for Haftbefehl’s commanding vocal delivery. Dice’s signature fusion of tech-house and hip-hop influences is fully realized in this collaboration.
Reflecting on the significance of working with Haftbefehl, Dice shares:
“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.”
With Purple Jam on the way and more genre-blending collaborations in the pipeline, “Ice Cold Dealer” is just the beginning of Dice’s next musical chapter.
