Elsewhere throughout our conversation, we dive into how he approaches preparing for live performances, how he’s adapted his sound to different settings and how he uses SoundCloud to keep it all organized.

In this installment of Sound Advice, we’re joined by Bicep, the Belfast-born, London-based duo whose deft blend of house, trance and breaks have made them some of the UK’s most acclaimed live electronic performers. After two albums on the Ninja Tune label — 2017’s self-titled and 2021’s ‘Isles’ — and years of touring, they’re now back in their studio, working on their club-focused ‘CHROMA’ series and forthcoming album. We caught up with Matt McBriar and Andy Ferguson from their studio to discuss their genre-agnostic influences, their musical evolution as Bicep, the creative challenges of having a digital and analog studio, and how they’ve used SoundCloud to grow as artists.

In this installment of Sound Advice, we talk to German producer Jan Blomqvist, who makes deep house with a melancholic pop sensibility. In this exclusive interview, the Berlin-based artist shares the story of how he journeyed from rock to electronic music, and recalls the influence of the 2000s Berlin club scene on his sound. He also talks about finding his style, blending original vocals and field recordings in a genre where samples and machine sounds dominate, the themes of his latest album ‘Mute,’ and how SoundCloud features like track comments, timestamps and replace audio help him collaborate with other artists.

R.M.K is the new project from London-based artist Roberto, known for his work as head of Fossil Archive. This alias sees him explore a faster, more intense take on his signature techno sound—drawing on two decades of experience and past appearances at clubs like Berghain, Tresor, and fabric.

Over the years, he’s collaborated with artists including Trevino (Marcus Intalex), Jamie Anderson, Robert Owens, Goldie, and Nastia. While rooted in the energy of peak-time rave, R.M.K’s sound keeps groove and funk at its core, brought to life in a hardware-driven live show inspired by the golden era of UK rave.

This set was recorded live at The Glove That Fits in London, where he holds a monthly Fossil Archive Presents residency. It features tracks from a forthcoming album produced with Jamie Anderson, marking ten years of the label.
