| | Ikon - Jalapeno Records/Illegal Beats - Properly Chilled - Downtempo Music & Culture (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14) |
 | | Born into an Italian family, Al was surrounded by a mish mash of pop and folk: bossa novas, waltzes, foxtrots and his Dad's 'heavy' jazz collection. |
 | | As stated by co-founder Alex Rizzo, Ikon has come together through a series of "happy coincidences" and this, their self-titled album consists of no fewer than eight different collaborations with singers, musicians and producers from seven different countries. |
 | | Stylistically you'll find a collage of downtempo, jazz, drum n bass, dub, and bossa nova, that is sometimes touched by a little tango, soul and instrumental hip-hop. |
