Bicep

About

Bicep, the Belfast-born duo of Andrew Ferguson and Matthew McBriar, are architects of euphoria. They didn't just arrive on the electronic music scene; they built their own cathedral, brick by brick, from the foundations of forgotten disco cuts, Detroit techno grit, and the ethereal beauty of early rave. Their sound, a carefully curated collage of these influences, transcends mere genre, instead evoking a feeling – a tangible sense of longing and release that resonates deep within the listener. Starting with their influential Feel My Bicep blog, a repository of unearthed gems and personal favorites, they honed their DJ skills and developed a keen understanding of what moves a dance floor. Breakthrough moments came with tracks like "Glue" and their self-titled debut album in 2017, solidifying their place at the forefront of electronic music. Their 2021 album, "Isles," further cemented their legacy, earning a Mercury Prize nomination. Bicep's impact lies in their ability to connect with audiences on an emotional level, crafting immersive soundscapes that feel both nostalgic and utterly contemporary. Collaborations with artists like Clara La San have only amplified their distinctive sound. Currently, they continue to tour globally, sharing their signature blend of hypnotic rhythms and soaring melodies with ecstatic crowds.
