Live from Lost Village - Sofia Kourtesis

On this weeks Feel My Bicep mixtape, we welcome Marla Kether, the bassist, producer, DJ and founder of Kilengi Dance Party, born in London to Congolese parents. She’s been taking her high-energy sets around the world to Glastonbury, supporting Loyle Carner on his US tour. The diverse selections feature a bass-led blend of Kuduro, Dembow, Afro House and Global Bass. Lets catch up…

Recently I’ve been playing a bunch of really great shows with my band, and working on a few remixes that’ll be out this summer. I’ve also been enjoying a (slight) lull in my tour schedule which has meant more time with friends!

Last Friday, I DJed at Outra Cena in Lisbon for a Numa High party. The Tascam recording is being mastered at the moment so—just for you—I’ve re-recorded part of my set, from the comfort of my lovely bedroom.

The party was a celebration of people and music from the African diaspora, so I featured a lot of Batida, Kuduro, Baile Funk and Afro House. Just serving up my usual mix of global dance sounds really—giving people a taste of what to expect at my upcoming shows, as well as showing off tunes I heard during my trip to Brazil earlier this year.

Up Next…

So, I have quite a lot coming up! I’ve got 2 remixes and a track on Somewhere Soul’s new compilation coming out in June-July; a heap of live bookings, including Cross The Tracks, The Great Escape and SXSW London; and I’ll be DJing at Glasto, We Out Here, Outlook and Little Simz’s Meltdown Festival to name a few!

Four Tet - Live set (Sónar 2025 LIVE ARTE Concert)

Welcome to part 7 of the FMB DIsccord mix series. For this episode, we have Discotechnological gracing the decks: 

Hello everyone, I’m Nathan and I go by discotechnological online. By day, I’m a UX/UI designer based near London and I am happiest when I’m making things, whether that’s websites or apps, photography and design, Lego models, building things around my house, and more recently, music - which I release as Singer and the Instruments. 

Like many people I’m sure, I first got into Bicep around the time Glue came out and after picking up the debut album I was hooked and went digging through their back catalogue to find all those other gems. After that I watched a couple of the shows on YouTube and then the 6Music festival during lockdown when Isles came out, but it was the Glasto ’22 set that convinced me that I had get out and see them for real, so I got tickets for Ally Pally and loved every second of it. It was the best gig I’ve ever been to - until Chroma in the Park last year.

For my mix I wanted to showcase some of the great artists and tunes recommended by the community - and some made by them too - alongside some of my fave classics going back as far as the 90’s (yes, I’m that old!). I’m glad I was allowed to include my PULSAR remix as it was such an treat to be able to work with the amazing stems provided for the competition, but more importantly I felt that it was such a fantastic experience sharing our work with each other - getting incredible and valuable feedback and tips from the talented people in the Bicep discord community.  The mix itself is a bit different from previous entries in the series as I’m more of a blender. I like finding those intros and outros that work well with each other and just letting them roll. It takes in some techno, some breaks, a bit of house and trance, plus a surprising amount of acid, culminating in a visit to the chill out room (do they even exist any more?) and a sneaky discord-exclusive from the lads.

Hope you all enjoy it and maybe discover something nice that you’ve never heard before.
