But time away from home has also made the pair more reflective about the move between islands which led them here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>For two natives of Belfast, any talk of islands, communities and identities will also have other, more domestic connotations. Before this project, it was an aspect of their lives they’d been reluctant to talk about.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>“It’s always been an unquantifiable topic for us” says Matt. “We’re not religious, but we’re both from different religious backgrounds. There was always a lot of interest in us talking about that part of things in the early days, but we weren’t interested. We always felt that one of the things we loved about dance music was that freedom it gave you to be released from talking about those things. It provided a middle ground. I think we took for granted how much that meant at that time”.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>“Isles” is, perhaps, a chance to explore this background in ways that don’t conform to the stale, sensationalist narratives about Northern Ireland that predominate elsewhere; to ground those experiences in reality, and reflect on the gaps music can and can’t bridge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>“You’d enter the club and it would be people from both sides of the tracks and they’d be hugging” says Andy, referring to massively influential Belfast club Shine, where both cut their musical teeth. “And the following week, they’d be with their mates rioting. It felt like the safest place but, on paper, it should have been the most dangerous”.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Musically, too, they find echoes of those days in their work. “It was like being smacked in the head with a hammer” Matt says, of the tunes that defined that scene, and which find expression in “Isles’” most raw and energetic corners. “It was either very intense, in-your-face Italo tinged electro or really aggressive techno”.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>‘Atlas’, the first track drawn from the record, speaks to these roots. Released to massive acclaim in March, making both the Radio 1 and Radio 6 playlists, its euphoric energy and bittersweet heft hit all the harder in uncertain times. It is, as Resident Advisor called it, “music that commiserates with you while you try to dance out your anxieties”.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Lead single ‘Apricots’ has a similar feel, steeped in a shimmering bath of warm synths, its spare percussion and arresting vocals bring the big room chills of 90s rave, while still evoking something lost or forlorn. It’s a tone perfectly captured in ‘Apricots’ soulful and disorienting video by Mark Jenkin, fresh from winning 2020’s Bafta for Outstanding Debut by a British Director for his film ‘Bait’, or the album’s striking, explosive artwork by Studio Degrau, creators of the iconic imagery for the duo’s first album.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>“The previous record was written from a very happy and almost naïve place” says Andy. “On your first album, you can finally express what you can’t on an A-side or an EP. But, touring it for three years, you figure out what makes a good song; what gives it longevity”.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Drawing on this experience, the pair wanted “Isles” to be a “a snapshot in time” of their work in this period, rather than a start-to-finish concept album. To do this, they drew from a massive pool of 150 demos. Whittling the record down to ten tracks was their first major challenge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>“That’s the creative element in the beginning” Matt says. “The blue sky approach; stitching stuff together and jamming over the top. But then you get to the next phase where you tell a story with what you’ve got, get them to communicate what we feel when we listen to them. We’d spend a week working on a track and find a breakthrough moment where it would work in so many iterations. It comes alive as a piece”.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>“On an album, you want loads of detail for people listening at home” adds Andy. These details are everywhere on “Isles”. ‘Saku’s two step polyrhythms and Clara La San’s honey-sweet vocals feint toward UK Garage before diving, chest-first, into cosmic synths. Like 90’s RnB channelled through peak John Carpenter, it’s a track that demands, and rewards, multiple listens, suffused with the melancholic undercurrent that gives “Isles” its cathartic punch. ‘Cazenove’, another standout, pairs pitch-shifted choral elements with moody pizzicato strings and rave synths, combining to form a slowly building retro-futurist soundscape, Studio Ghibli one moment, Studio 54 the next.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>This globe-trotting sound was forged as their own rapid ascent through the musical ranks began. After starting their legendary FeelMyBicep blog in 2008, its humble trove of Italo, house and disco deep cuts grew into a runaway success, regularly chalking up over 100,000 visitors a month. Once the blog had spawned a record label and club night, the duo were propelled on to the international stage via sought-after DJ sets that reflected the eclecticism of their online curations. Following success with productions for Throne of Blood and Aus Music, Bicep were signed to Ninja Tune in 2017, where they released their wildly acclaimed self-titled debut album the following year, attaining a Top 20 entry in the UK charts, and a cover feature in Mixmag to add to the magazine’s gong for “Album of the Year”. Tracks like ‘Opal’ — and the subsequent Four Tet remix— as well as he record’s lead single ‘Glue’, with and its iconic Joe Wilson-directed video, became touchpoints for electronic music in 2017, with the latter named DJ Mag “Track of the Year”. The ‘Glue’ video, alongside Bicep’s RA Live performance were also recently included in the lauded ‘Electronic’ exhibition, first shown at the Philharmonie de Paris last year and most recently at London’s Design Museum.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>The album was followed by a massively successful tour, which saw them raise the roof at Primavera, Coachella and Glastonbury. The pair sold out their two forthcoming Brixton Academy shows in a matter of minutes, and amassed a 10,000 person waiting list once tickets were all gone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Plans for an extensive “Isles” tour in 2021 are still in the offing, with the duo offering only cryptic clues as to what it will entail.\u2028\u2028“This is the home listening version”, says Matt, “the live version will be much, much harder”.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Bicep’s booked events will now take place as and when venue schedules become more clear, with additional headline dates across the UK, EU and US hoped for in 2021, including a headline slot at Field Day in London, as well as performances at Parklife, Roskilde, Creamfields, Primavera, MELT! And more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>With the live music & touring industry in a state of flux, Bicep recently undertook a one-off ticketed livestream performance—one of the first of its kind for an electronic artist—broadcast across 5 different timezones, and watched by people in over 70 countries, with visuals by close BICEP LIVE visual collaborator Black Box Echo. Bicep will also launch their ‘FeelMyBicep Radio’ show on Apple Music in October, giving listeners an insight into the music that has shaped everything in the world of Bicep, with shows set to continue monthly throughout the coming year.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Bicep are also ambassadors for Youth Music, a charity working to change the lives of young people through music and music production. Both take an active role in mentoring young people coming through YM programmes, reflecting their own eagerness to give back as musicians who themselves received industry support when they were coming up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n","\u003Cp>Released in 2021, Isles reflects a more expansive and introspective chapter for us. The album was shaped over two years, drawing on the experiences, emotions and contrasts of moving from Belfast to London – the push and pull between leaving home and feeling its pull again. London exposed us to a huge range of sounds and cultures, and those fragments found their way into the music, while time away from Belfast made us more reflective about our roots and identity.\u003Cbr \u002F>\n With Isles, we wanted to capture a snapshot of that period rather than create a concept record, refining more than 150 demos into tracks built with detail for home listening as well as energy for the club. It’s an album about place, memory and the spaces in between – the tension between introspection and euphoria, and how these feelings shaped who we are as Bicep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n",{"node":405},{"id":406,"altText":11,"origin":407,"lg":407,"xl":407,"xxl":407,"mimeType":66,"mediaType":67,"mediaItemUrl":407,"mediaDetails":408},"cG9zdDoyMzA=","https:\u002F\u002Fassets.bicepmusic.com\u002F.\u002FZEN261_PACKSHOT-smaller-Large.jpeg",{"height":91,"width":91},{"nodes":410},[411],{"id":372,"slug":373},{"nodes":413},[414],{"id":415,"slug":416},"dGVybTo5","2021",{"date":418,"slug":419,"title":420,"content":421,"excerpt":422,"featuredImage":423,"releaseTypes":430,"releaseYears":433},"2026-04-15T12:33:49","bicep","BICEP","\n\u003Cp>“Bicep” the debut album from Matt McBriar and Andy Ferguson is a record that truly encapsulates their history and the distillation of their passion for music and club culture since their first release in 2010, via Ninja Tune.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Bicep are first and foremost music lovers with a deep-rooted knowledge and passion for music of all varieties. Having been introduced to electronic music through the likes of Aphex Twin and Laurent Garnier, they started digging deeper into IDM, italo, techno, electro, jungle & everything in between.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Over the span of their 10-year career, they have celebrated the music that inspires them via their Feelmybicep blog, initially an outlet for, and now a contributing factor to, their intense record collecting habit. Founded in 2008, its runaway success (it now sees over 100,000 visitors a month) spawned a record label of the same name, a club night, and took the duo out of the UK and embedded them on the international stage via highly sought after DJ sets that reflected the eclecticism celebrated on their blog – an impeccably curated blend of upfront tracks and exclusive edits mixed with deep-dug house and disco cuts (rediscovered, dusted off and given a new lease of life). Accordingly they are venerated as trusted and esteemed curators in electronic music today.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Cutting their production teeth with releases on Throne Of Blood, Traveller Records, Mystery Meat and Love Fever, Will Saul then snapped up the duo for a string of releases on his Aus Music imprint, including the now certified classic “Just EP” bearing the dazzling and ubiquitous title track that became the undisputed club track of 2015 and earned Bicep both Mixmag and DJ Mag’s ‘Track of the Year’. The duo have also collaborated with another trailblazing UK duo Simian Mobile Disco and remixed for the likes of Disclosure, Blood Orange and 808 State.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>The formidable DJs (#8 in Resident Advisor’s 2016 poll) have toured the world over, curating and selling out a long list of Feel My Bicep parties including Manchester Warehouse Project, a 12-week residency at XOYO and their annual Italo Disco parties.\u003Cbr>In 2016 Andy and Matt built and tested a roof-raising live show – a powerful counterpoint to their much loved DJ sets that not only highlights the breadth and depth of the Bicep discography, brings to the fore both their skilful production and formidable engineering chops, but again reinforces their genius curatorial flair. Earlier this year they took Coachella and Primavera festivals by storm and sold out their recent London show at Village Underground in 3 minutes flat. Following the album’s release, they’ll embark on an extensive live headline world tour including a stop at Electric Brixton in London.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>The album “Bicep” is the perfect summation of the duo’s career to date – it’s a sonic tour of their history touching the cornerstones of underground club culture. Matt and Andy have pulled off the rarest of feats, to make a singularly unique electronic record founded on the blueprint of classic house, techno, electro and Italo disco, but flipped and morphed into a fresh design bearing the unique Bicep sonic signature. It’s a perfectly succinct album: loose, raw and energetic enough for the dancefloor, yet refined, artfully composed and contemplative enough for home listening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Their spirited, daring approach brings them into the Ninja Tune fold. “For us it’s important to be part of a label that looks broadly at music,” Matt says. “We felt no restrictions at Ninja to be pigeonholed,” continues Andy. Displaying a theme of technical experimentalism and a deft melodic touch which runs throughout the entire record, it’s this openness and no-rules approach to music making which has allowed Bicep to establish a unique position all their own on an increasingly crowded global dance stage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n","\u003Cp>Released in 2017, our debut album on Ninja Tune captures the ideas, influences and emotions that shaped us in our early years as Bicep. We set out to create a record that felt both intimate and expansive – something that worked in the club as well as for home listening.

Hats continue to scurry ahead of rapturous piano stabs that build towards a heart­rending chord and vocal combo. ‘Rays’, inspired by early morning sets at Panorama Bar, sets a bass pattern tumbling under a crunching percussive loop and dramatic, reverberated synth stabs. Dreamy vocal chops build momentum behind a minor­key shift that signals another rousing breakdown before ‘Seagulls’ then sets shuffling snare rhythms over whistling synths and a rich, filtered bass pattern.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Both mixes of ‘Go’, inspired by the same studio session as “Just” then mark the introduction of FMB’s digital availability. These digital exclusives will now be available alongside the rest of the FMB catalogue ­ exclusively through Beatport for 2 weeks and subsequently in other digital outlets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>The ‘Flanger’ mix uses tangible filters to drive a circling sequence of broken drums throughout while a short vocal snippet adds an urgent edge. The ‘Liquid’ mix melds spacey pads and squelching resonance control into an altogether more mellow affair that caps off another fine addition to the FMB series and begins a new chapter for the label’s operations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>released September 25, 2015\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>2015, Feel My Bicep\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>\u003C\u002Fp>\n","\u003Cp>Bicep make a return to their own Feel My Bicep imprint in the wake of their lauded AUS Music anthem ‘Just’ and their remix of Dyone on First Choice Records.
