Last Friday saw Bicep take the reins of the BBC Radio 1 Essential Mix.
The Belfast-born, London-based duo have had a big twelve months, signing to Ninja Tune to release their debut album ‘Bicep’, now with the dust still settling around the album, they join the iconic mix series for a second time. The mix features an exclusive track by Hammer (forthcoming on their Feel My Bicep imprint), several unreleased Bicep edits, as well as cuts from Norwell, CJ Bolland and Fantastic Man.
They explain the idea behind the mix: “We’ve both got fond memories of long car journeys spent listening to the Essential Mix. For our contribution, we wanted to do something different to our normal club sets: exploring the influences behind our album and touching on genres we wouldn’t normally be able to play out.”
