STREET ANTHEMS

SPECIAL REQUEST - SHELL SHOCK

Keinemusik Radio Show by RY X (DJ) 18.04.2025

On this weeks episode of the FMB mixtape, we welcome John Loveless, a DJ, producer and writer from the North West of the UK. He runs his own Hot Concept imprint and party series, and works with Palms Trax on CWPT. His radio residencies on Refuge Worldwide and Cashmere Radio allow him to explore electronic and alternative music. Let catch up with John Loveless..

"I’ve been trying to evade my allergies and enjoy the sensory pleasures of spring’s arrival in Berlin. Listening to music, reading in the sun and of course, trying to play it cool about recording this mix…

The mix was recorded live, in one hot take, on CDJs and a Pioneer mixer at my friend Charlie’s.

As alluded to above, I’d check the original Feel My Bicep blog for new downloads pretty obsessively, circa 2010. I even made it to the first ever Bicep DJ gig in Manchester, which I recall was cut heartbreakingly short by a fire alarm (without a subsequent fire). The music featured was a much-appreciated introduction to a particular strain of dance music, especially house and Italo, driven by charisma and odd hooks. I’m still drawn to those kinds of records and that admittedly nebulous attitude, regardless of era or genre, so I used those instincts to record something with the sort of progression and pace that my daft 21 year-old self might have enjoyed.

The final track here – a Leftside Wobble bootleg of an exciting little band called The Beatles – even initially came to me via FMB, but I don’t think I’ve ever used it in a mix or even on the radio, so this felt like as good of an opportunity as any to exorcise it after all these years. Some other tracks in here are ‘personal classic’ trax that I know like the back of my hand, while others, like Peach’s remix of Cromby, landed in my inbox a couple of hours before I recorded and just felt right for the flow.


I’m currently in the process of finishing up some new tracks and remixes with my production partner Gramrcy, one of which features here for the first time here. These should arrive later in 2025. I have a remix with Palms Trax on the horizon, and I’m soon to reach the 100th edition of my show ‘Display Resolution’ on Cashmere Radio, after which I’ll put the show on ice or an irregular schedule for some time. I’m hoping to record a mixed compilation of sorts to celebrate, so have progressed to agonising over the track list for that one instead. I have some exciting gigs upcoming this summer, such as a nice long stretch outdoors at ELSE in Berlin for the CWPT party, and Pikes in Ibiza for the first time.

I’ve also written a full-length feature screenplay with my mate Rich, AKA, DJ Enchanted Rhythms, which we’re still chipping away on, draft after draft. I have been involved in music for a long time now, but film is a similar passion, and this has felt like the most exciting and fulfilling work I’ve undertaken lately. While I wait for A24 to call, I’ve decided to more frequently update my substack, No Fun At The Fair, and have an essay to publish soon on a strawberry theme park, and another on outdoor swimming pools, if that’s your sort of thing. Hold tight!"

Save A Innerbloom (K:ROL Edit)

The arena-conquering duo glide from gritty rave to skyscraping arpeggios on RA.1000, a mix many years in the making.

A new name undeniably entered the pantheon of major electronic live acts over the past decade: next to Faithless, The Prodigy and The Chemical Brothers, now sit @feelmybicep.

The Belfast duo's music doesn't half reach for the stars: a melodic blend of ambient, breakbeat, trance and tech house, able to turn the biggest arenas into intimate affairs.

If anything, mainstream success, BRIT Award nominations and mammoth dance crossovers like "Glue" have only hardened Andy Ferguson and Matt McBriar's resolve to keep innovating.

Their prized blog, running for nearly as long as the RA Podcast, regularly platforms upcoming artists. And you won't find many festival headliners releasing climate change-themed records with Indigenous artists, as they did recently on Takkuuk.

RA.1000 exists in that spirit. After many polite declines, and before a year off to usher in the next era, Bicep come through at the last: from dub techno and screwface breaks to São Paulo garage, before a tide of signature synths floods the zone. Stadium-sized intimacy at its finest.
