Who made The Valley?
The Valley is an album by Dutch drum and bass producer Icicle, the alias of Jeroen Snik. It is associated with his deep, minimal approach and carefully shaped electronic sound design.
What does half-time drum and bass mean on The Valley?
Half-time means the track can retain a drum and bass tempo around 170 BPM while the snare pattern feels slower and more spacious. That rhythmic illusion leaves more room for sub-bass, texture, and atmosphere.
What production details define The Valley?
The album emphasizes deep low frequencies, restrained drum patterns, and precise sound design rather than crowded melodic layers. Its weight comes from space, timing, and texture as much as from a large bass drop.

Under the Ice was Icicle's 2011 debut album on Shogun Audio, and Entropy followed in 2014 on the same label. Those named releases help trace his path through drum and bass, dubstep, techno, and related bass styles. [Resident Advisor reviews](https://ra.co/reviews/9021)
