AUS 1580EP
|
2023 repress. Aus Music follows releases from Breach (AUS 1578EP), Huxley (AUS 1469EP), and Bwana (AUS 1577EP) with an offering from Irish duo and long-term label affiliates Bicep. The Just EP follows self-released collaborations with Ebony and Midland, and is an impassioned bundle of broken beats, shimmering synth lines, and rapturous piano chords. The title-track suffuses a broken kick and snare combo with a poignant sequence and heart-rending synth strings. "Celeste" lays a soft, filtered croon over a swelling piano motif before "Back 2 U (Tranz Dub)" drives a tough, gravelly kick under gentle flecks of acid and rich, sweeping pads.

AUS 1462EP
|
2023 repress. Jet-setting Irish duo Bicep return to Will Saul's Aus label with two steady analog techno grooves ready for deployment in either their own wildly celebrated sets or those of any DJ looking for modern dance tracks that are still faithful to the classics. Using gritty, vintage-sounding rhythm sections as solid foundations, each track gradually builds up its own lush, melodic embellishments overtop -- "Circles" stays true to its name with a cyclical main melody, shadowy bass and fuzzy house pads, whereas "NRG106" sets spacey, dramatic chords and breathy vocals against the insistent, chittering machine percussion.

AUS 1346EP

2022 repress. The London-based duo of Andrew Ferguson and Matthew McBriar aka Bicep have played in more than a dozen countries, including major gigs across the U.S., China and, more recently, Australia, scooping the award for DJ Mag's "Best Breakthrough DJ." Across this EP they take things a little deeper, delving into a different area of their own personal taste. What's presented is an overall more lo-fi style and broader approach, drawing from a wide range of influences including King Street Sounds, HBO's The Wire, and Aphex Twin.

This EP sees the pair working in collaboration with fellow Northern Irish producer Ejeca (aka Garry McCartney), as well as the inimitable Serge Santiago (in his Omar Odyssey guise), with Panorama Bar resident Steffi rounding off the release perfectly with a superbly-crafted remix.
