“Dream of You” opens with a pulsating house rhythm that sets the foundation for TomCat Trumpet‘s soaring melodic lines. The track exemplifies Kice’s innovative approach to blending electronic and live elements, a signature style that has earned him prestigious residencies at Chicago’s Sound Bar, venues across Mexico, and performances at major festivals including Burning Man and Northern Nights Music Festival. As the arrangement unfolds, the interplay between electronic and organic elements creates a euphoric soundscape that’s both nostalgic and forward-thinking, providing a rich sampler of what he’s brewing for his debut LP.
The collaboration adds another dimension to Kice’s growing repertoire of live music integrations, building on the success of Treble Squad – his groundbreaking project with Violin Girl and MGabriel that has graced stages from Hard Rock Las Vegas to PRYSM Nightclub.

Gaining nods from some of the industry’s most respected figureheads like Austin Kramer, who named him an artist to watch in 2024, Kice’s “Dream of You” marks the start of an exciting new era. His upcoming debut album will showcase his versatile production skills and collaborative spirit, featuring genre-blending collaborations and original productions that will further solidify his position as an industry trailblazer.
