Every long-lived career in music is defined by a set of game-changing markers-you might call them "before and after moments." For Matt McBriar and Andy Ferguson, AKA Bicep, the most significant of these took place on September 1st, 2017, when their self-titled debut album landed on Ninja Tune. Before its release, the Belfast duo were successful gigging DJs with a cult blog, a popular label and a handful of killer productions to their name-hits like "Just" and "Vision Of Love." The LP added two notable strings to their bow: a fresh suite of anthems ("Aura," "Orca," "Glue") and a festival-ready live show. Within a few weeks, Bicep went from DJing in sweaty nightclubs to performing their own music live at venues, festivals and concert halls all over the world.
Bicep's globetrotting tour reached a pinnacle in late November, when they headlined and sold out three nights at London's Printworks, an achievement that put them in a small group of live electronic acts capable of pulling such big crowds. On Friday, November 23rd, on one of their final shows of the run and their last live gig in London until 2020, we captured their performance from start to finish. Onstage, McBriar and Ferguson stood facing each other, their heads bowed in focus while their hands glided at speed across numerous bits of gear. The 90-minute video is a euphoric rush of melody, breakbeats and vocals, adorned with dozens of lasers and devoured by a 3000-strong audience.

I am 53. This i a higher level of house/trance music than the world has ever see. Their control in the depth is way beyond. I know these guys agonise for months to get the sound on a tune correct. You can hear where the extra work has gone in. The extra work is not aimed at dancing but the soul itself. Congratulations to the world for having these guys thought at our hearts.

A higher level

I will never understand why people are filming when they rave...for Instagram or what? To show other people that they were at this party? I'm so happy that I raised in Berlin and that it's not allowed in Techno Clubs to film...the vibe is much better and you feel more safe without cameras...it makes me aggressive when I see some tourists are filming. Enjoy the rave..its much better when you have good memories from that time than a fucking video where the quality is never the same.

[@timsmith8088]

This is beyond words. I listen to it so frequently, to work out, to chill out, to get lost in... It literally is the language of the universe. All existence is vibration at atomic level, and this composition of sound is so breathtakingly beautiful that it just resonates with the soul. Genuinely can't describe how it speaks so me, all I know is I will never tire. It always sounds fresh and energetic. I think Bicep unlocked some special code here, these guys are utter wizardry on the decs, potetry in motion.

Bicep if one of you are reading this, I want to let you know that when I was at this event I realised you have created something that bypasses the brain and connects directly with the inner soul, it releases our ancient instincts to mystify and dance to the incredible melody.

[@noahmallen6998]

I’ve been to tiesto, state of trance, AVH, Sasha etc but I’d happily have swapped any of them for this, This isn’t just music, it’s the whole atmosphere being created, the lights, ambience, the people around you. It’s an experience different to what you’d get with others in the same category. I’d give my left bollock to have been there

[@darbs662]

Heard atlas on the radio the other day and thought it was pretty cool so started checking these guys out. I’ve been a dnb head for years without really listening to too much else. Just listened to this mix and man......This is fucking incredible! Blown away by this........ pretty speechless atm really......

[@adamcutting6002]

I love this

[@yannick6116]

I was always into dnb since 20 years ago pretty much dnb=life for me but when i heard bicep's glue for the first time it brought back so many raves in my mind and ive listened to the whole album after that and now i got tickets to brixton academy when they play next time live.

[@fuckenoathcunt4230]

@@yannick6116 I'm 18 and have been a religious listener to Future House ever since Tchami pioneered it years ago. However I accidentally listened to Glue then Opal and then I listened to everything else a few months back. I was mad looking forward to Parklife just to see Bicep and Four Tet go at it, needless to say I'm bummed that nothing ever happened because of the current situation but I will eventually see them live. P.S This set is the best they've done.

[@Podz4420]

Had the pleasure of seeing them live last summer. Quality and destined for greatness.. I know they've been around awhile but In 20 years time these guys will b appreciated as much as Leftfield and Orbital and the likes are these days. What a set What a venue 💪 Cheers Resident Advisor!!

Paleo in Switzerland? What a show that was

[@Podz4420]

@@weeznud No mate I seen them at a festival in Ireland. This gig here just looks and sounds amazing as I'm sure their gig in Switzerland was also!..

[@mygerms9568]

Podz430 saw them at groove festival in Loch Ness about 3 or 4 years ago. Hadn’t heard of them at the time but their set blew me away. Keep an eye out from them from that time and they are masters at work!

[@mrglasses8953]

Obviously heavily influenced by Orbital.

For those wondering the unreleased song starting at 1:06:00 is Boss Rhythm - BDB (released recently on the FMB label).

By any chance do you know if the tune before it has been released?

[@lifecamerakaran]

@@Thearkillian not yet I don't think.

[@Remo-media]

I used to trip all the time at gigs like this imagining images like that dolly shot going left to right on the front row past people dancing. And I'd just have that simple vision in my head and smile. Then at home when trying to get to sleep I would see an ever-changing sea of faces in the crowd lit by purple light. Thanks for the flashback.

[@maggiewalsh9418]

Just found these guys by accident scrolling through the Glastonbury coverage on the BBC. Absolutely blown away by how incredible they are. So much I want to say but I don’t have the words to do them justice.

[@InspiredGuesswork]

Every time I hear these boys, I just think, ‘early Sasha’..

This is just the best thing I have ever watched I still can't get over it

[@Bloodkedelic]

Bicep are legends in the way they put elements together, each type of element has only one "and only" element, different layers but they are smooth in the ears, when you listen to the music, nothing is complex, complete simplicity and minimalist. Pad, key, and beats, drums are easy-going. When you focus you will notice the layering phase of each track, but only when you try to focus and recognize. Bicep will always inspire me, they just show that being an electronic music producer doesn't need anything but creativity and having that simple mindset with the music theory. i support simplicity in Techno and d&b. I'm tired of nowadays artists trying to complete with each others in a complex way "AKA WHO MAKES A MORE COMPLEX TRACK". Bicep said "F Y'ALL WE WANT YOU TO EXPECT THE MUSIC AND WE WANT YOUR BODY TO BE DANCING EASILY". Hats off legends

[@user-fe6bx3fd3t]

Music has always been with me: when I feel good and when I feel bad, it helped and supported me, inspired me to create and just made me live...

[@samanthamarie5118]

The way they slightly pitch bend the arp for Just makes me cry. It's so perfect

[@DJLogic_UK]

And how the melody is deconstructed during the outro of Just is pure genuis... 🔊🎶

[@Soulrollsdeep]

Being old (and lucky) enough to have been around to remember the rave scene booming and the mid nineties madness....Glue has some kind of magic sauce, it REALLY resonates and reminds me of all that. What a time to be alive.

[@Xolintoz]

I honestly never get bored of this set. Like ever.

[@matzoladicalabrese5136]

This whole set is just a phenomenal master piece. What a sound ,Bicep.

[@ajenda7895]

Watched this set so many times over lockdown wondering when I’d ever get the chance to see them live and now I’ll be seeing them for the first time in their home town of Belfast this weekend!

[@JunoLord]

Glue gives me chills every time, hands down my favorite song of all time.

[@axum.gebreyohanes]

The live 'Vale' played here is so much better than the album version...

these guys have such a unique style. sometime's they remind me of booka shade & sometimes of dusky but at the same time they give me a sort of trance feel good factor back from the early 2000's ... these guys are absolutely amazing and i would love to see them live one day

[@morahano]

This is the pinnacle of electronic music

[@batadjo]

Couldn't agree more. What an audio-visual spectacle. After all these years, I can't recall if I was ever shaken by a piece of music like now. Chills troughout the whole set. Simply brilliant. Hats down to the lads!

[@patientswim6888]

The comments are full of people saying similar things. Incredible praise all round. I have to say i found this very low energy, rhythmically none existent, dull and lifeless. The crowd all look like they had 2 valium each before they came in. Each to their own though i guess.
