Icje’s “Believe in Me”: An Unadulterated Blast of Big Room Feeling

Cambridge, England's Icje, has made a bold step with "Believe in Me," a self-produced single that marries the energy of big room with the melodic elements that we find in trance.

The clear inspirations from directors like W&W, Armin van Buuren, and Afrojack are obvious in Icje's music, but he combines those ideas with a personal touch that feels brave and bold. "Believe in Me" has big room and trance melodies that present change, strength, and hope, which is a reflection on Icje's path between’ peaks and valleys that life is full of. The drop is energetic and full of heart it is a feeling that comes straight from Icje. 

What really sets this song apart is its authenticity. This song goes deeper than the basslines and melodies, and it is clearly a story told with an important motive about the need for belief, the need for support, and the need for perseverance. It takes established house methods and combines them with the better parts of trance to add a sense of modernity to an established electronic tradition. This is not merely for dance; this piece can evoke emotional response and connection through its being a dance party setting. In "Believe in Me," Icje is giving voice to the space that we call "the dance floor."
