Ben UFO at Dekmantel Festival 2023

"We used to roll up socks in our shoes to give us an extra inch." The childhood friends talk about coming of age in Belfast and their label and event series, CHROMA.

Bicep—the Irish duo Andrew Ferguson and Matthew McBriar—have been winning over the hearts of fans with trance-inflected, melancholic dance music since 2009. In this interview with RA editor Gabriel Szatan, the childhood friends talk about how they got where they are, unpacking their creative process and the abiding musical influence of their hometown, Belfast, a city where emotional trance reigned supreme. 

They also discuss their ongoing multidisciplinary project, CHROMA—a record label, event series and evolving live audiovisual show. Ferguson and McBriar say that the idea for CHROMA came from a sense that their DJ sets were becoming too "sugary," so they buckled down with a renewed focus on creating dynamic new productions made specifically for the dance floor and their sets. The result is a string of hard-hitting EPs which you can find online now. Listen to the episode in full.

EX.722 Bicep

On this weeks episode of the Feel My Bicep mixtape series, we welcome Will Silver, a force in the UK dance scene. Through production and his Rinse FM show, he’s earned support from the likes of BBC Radio 1, HAAi, Four Tet and more. One to watch in electronic, lets catch up and find out what he’s been up to…

"I had the opportunity to immerse myself living in the vibrant culture of Bogotá earlier this year, where I dedicated my time to wrapping up my upcoming EPs. Connecting with talented Colombian artists through Vandelay Radio, a radio station I co-run with my close friend Dare Balogun. After this, myself and my partner took some time to travel, and my trip ended in Mexico City where I had the honour of closing out the main hall of the legendary [sic] club. Now, back home in London, I’m feeling recharged and ready to tackle new challenges and goals.

The mix was recorded at home, where I set up my turntables and CDJs on my living room table, surrounded by plants, with good lighting and a cup of tea. I wanted the setup to look visually appealing because I decided to film the mix. Capturing both the audio and visuals felt important to me for the mix.

I wanted to maintain a steady groove and energy throughout the show, as that approach reflects my style. I’d like to think that I select tracks that keep the dancefloor alive, but I was keen to introduce some variety to avoid a one-dimensional vibe. To create those subtle shifts, I incorporated tracks from artists like Terry Lee Brown Junior and Envoy, allowing the mix to breathe a bit. Of course though, I had to throw in my new bits too and it was fun to see how they fitted."

Up Next…

"I have lots of club releases coming out. My focus remains on creating music that resonates with the dancefloor. I’ve been making tunes and DJing since I was a kid, and I’ve come to realise that, for me, it’s no longer just about expressing my personal experiences through music. For me it’s about crafting something for others, something fun. What do people truly crave in these spaces? The chance to dance, to have fun, to feel safe, to forget about any troubles they’ve got going on and to be swept away on a joyful journey of transcendence.

As a DJ and club music producer, my goal is to create a space where connection is at the heart of the experience. I want people to feel deeply connected to the music, to each other, and to the moment itself. There’s nothing in the world that compares to that sense of unity on the dancefloor. And that’s why we do it. Some of my happiest moments in life have happened in those spaces, and I’m committed to bringing that experience to others in this vibrant culture. If anyone wants to watch me play, my next confirmed show is on 11th October at Venue MOT!"
