Feel my Bicep

Over the last year there has been a definite movement into house,  nearly every disco dj has adopted at least one token 90s’ house tune in every mix- the majority of the time this tends to be  a classic or one that even pushed the boundry of  acceptance back then. Stick with Bicep and we will keep you right, expect essential underground house tunes in the next couple of weeks. First up Kenlou showing how to do it deep style.

Hate the word “dubstep”, it makes me think of cheesy electro house wobbly bottom beats. For me I like the top ends, the shuffling aspect of tunes in this dub, dub techno, dub- whatever the fuck genre…There is some great tunes out there with tones of producers creating and improvising to great effect, but in my opinion there is no one better than Burial. I have loved all of his productions, with this EP one of many highlights. His style is very crossover friendly and so a lot of people can relate to it. South London Boroughs actually reminded me of  Kenlou- the Bounce (one of my favorite tunes), when I heard it for the first time.

Here is a mix from a couple of dudes in Manchester England we met up in Glasgow at Sideshow. These guys carry everything from Marcel Dettmann to Mike Mareen in their record bags, clashing Detroit techno with italo disco- working to great effect on occasions.

This mix really in keeping with the vibe music hosted on the blog, with a few of our gems thrown in.. we thought it would be rude not to host it. Starting of slow with a few classic cosmic tunes balancing funk with cheese, italo esq “Silencer” gets the mix into swing, the vibe then turns deep which is quite prominent throughout the rest of the mix.
