RA.1000 Bicep

The arena-conquering duo glide from gritty rave to skyscraping arpeggios on RA.1000, a mix years in the making.

A new name entered the pantheon of major electronic live acts this past decade: next to Faithless, The Prodigy and The Chemical Brothers, now sit @feelmybicep. The Belfast duo’s melodic blend of ambient, breakbeat, trance and tech house turns arenas intimate. Mainstream success, BRIT nominations and crossovers like "Glue" have only hardened Andy Ferguson and Matt McBriar’s resolve. Their blog has long platformed upcoming artists, and few festival headliners release climate change-themed records with Indigenous collaborators, as they did recently on Takkuuk.

After many polite declines, and before a year off, Bicep deliver RA.1000 at last: dub techno, screwface breaks, São Paulo garage and their signature synth tide. Stadium-sized intimacy at its finest.
