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.

I've wanted to record a mix like this for years, but for some reason never got to actually doing it until now. It's kind of an ode to Edan's 2001 "Fast Rap"Mixtape, except I wanted to turn up the tempo a notch, so it more or less continues where his left off; around the 115bpm mark.
Britcore, Hip House and Proto Boom Bap featuring tunes by the likes of Caveman, Krispy 3, Tony Scott, Slick Rick, King Bee, Organized Konfusion and many more.

Fragments of joy

Who We Are

1800 Play w/ Bex - 22 October 2025

Just before dusk, on the Sunday evening of Bonanza 2025, S.O.N.S took to the decks. What followed was a mind-bending, 3 turntable adventure down the proggy wormhole. 

Ethereal, driving, elastic and full of trancey goo, it was everything we needed on that silky Sunday evening. 

Check out Rio 021 now xx
