RAW SILK Radio - Hoxton FM - December 2017

http://www.feelmybicep.com/fmb-mixtape-98-raw-silk/

This week on the podcast series is episode 98, aka Raw Silk, aka Grace and Steph. We caught up with them to ask them a little more about what else they’re up to and about the mixtape…

We played at your afterparty in Camden after seeing the Bicep live show at the Roundhouse. Wow what an incredible show and fun party, those mind-melting visuals…! We spent our sunny May Bank holiday playing at the Percolate Queens Yard Summer party and the Field Day launch event in Shoreditch.

We locked ourselves in Steph’s cave/bedroom for a few days (pissing off her housemates) using her technics, and borrowed CDJs from the BBE Record store where Grace works.

Taking our name from an 80’s disco group, people may assume that’s all we’re going to play. We wanted to steer away from that but still wanted to keep our mix light hearted and fun, similar to our DJ style we hope. We’ve included tracks from friends’ labels and used artists that we really love and inspired us to start collecting and djing…Of course we couldn’t help ourselves and finished on a filthy, Italo-disco banger – a bit of a Marmite track but we love Marmite…

FEEL MY BICEP MIXTAPE 98 | RAW SILK

We popped down to the Baltic Triangle in Liverpool for a special 1 hour guest show, bringing 60 minutes of disco sunshine into the studio before heading over to the Reeds to party with the SisBis crew.

RAW SILK are Grace and Steph, two best pals just trying to make you dance. What started as a humble party in Peckham in 2016, they’ve somehow ended up DJing at Glastonbury, Drumsheds, Flow festival in Helsinki, Pikes in Ibiza and beautiful Beirut, pinching themselves along the way.

Their sets are a goofy mix of pumping house, stomping EBM, balearic synths, breaks, drums, VOCALS, POP! Come join the party— Fun is our only rule!!!!!!
