Bicep are a duo that hail from Belfast, brought together through a
common obsession with all things analogue. Growing up with an
amalgamation of jazz, rock and Detroit techno helped Bicep form an
obscure approach and understanding of music. After each picking up a
set of 1210s in their early teens they set about collecting records
and experimenting to find their own style. Skip forward several years
and numerous DJ appearances playing others records, Bicep realized
they needed to make their own brand - succumbing to as Bicep describe
it "Detroit-influenced house music with rawness and soul". Their debut
12-inch (a firm favorite of Harvey, Krivit, etc) released on Ghost Town NYC
sold out in a few days and now collectors eagerly anticipate their next release.
The concept for the 313 EP developed out of a new found love for
Detroit house and Techno music. After being self confessed admirers of
the scene since its early days with Dan Bell, Derrick May, Carl Craig
and 3 Chairs - a new found resurgence in music produced in the 3-1-3
District has inspired them to release this EP on Traveller.
The first track "313" is very much hazy late-night jam, really showing
the range in emotions that take place during the course of a night.
With a helping of sleaze and intoxicated sway, the record grooves and
groves until it kicks into a laid-back jacking jazz melody where it
reaches its elegant peak.
On the flip, "Winter" is a track crafted out of a cosmic melody
created last winter during a train through a snowcapped Scottish
highlands. It has an icy vibe with harsh hats, delicate chimes and
tubular synths that help drive the track into space.
