Bicep (duo)


Bicep are an electronic music duo from Belfast, Northern Ireland, consisting of Andrew Ferguson and Matthew McBriar.

History

Bicep was formed in 2009 as a production and DJing pair in London, UK. The duo, childhood friends, created a blog called "", which was used to post lost and forgotten disco, Chicago house, Detroit techno and Italo disco edits.
They released tracks on labels Throne of Blood, Traveller Records and Mystery Meat before joining Will Saul's Aus Music and setting up their own label Feel My Bicep in September 2012. That year the pair were awarded DJ Mag's 'Best of British Breakthrough DJ' award.
In 2014, the pair moved into a new studio in Shoreditch.
In 2015, the duo performed live for the first time at the AVA festival in Belfast, which was recorded by Boiler Room.
After signing to Ninja Tune in 2017, Bicep released their long-awaited debut album Bicep, which went in at number 20 in the UK Album Charts on its release, and received critical-acclaim, with support from publications such as Pitchfork, The Guardian, Resident Advisor and Mixmag.

Live performances

Between 2017-2018, the duo embarked on an extensive live headline world tour to sell-out venues across the world, including the US, Japan and Europe. Back in the UK, they sold out shows at Electric Brixton, Roundhouse and three consecutive dates at Printworks in London, which was filmed by Resident Advisor and one of their final live shows until 2020.
