Their blog, Feel My Bicep, has grown to be the first port of call for those searching for cutting-edge and hard-to-find disco (nu and old) / chicago-house / detroit techno / italo / edits and the like. Growing with an amalgamation of jazz, rock and funk helped Bicep form an obscure approach and understanding of music. After each picking up a pair of Technics turntables in their early teens, Andy and Matt set about collecting records and experimenting to find their own style. Skip forward several years and countless DJ gigs and they realized they needed to make their own brand- succumbing to, as Bicep describe it, “80s inspired analog house“ Their first 12" on Citizen Kane's Ghost town records sold out within a week gaining worldwide support, whilst their debut on New York's Throne of Blood records, was among the most downloaded tracks on xlr8r.com (currently still highest rated) topped the charts on boomkat.com, and also made Tim Sweeney’s Favorite LP’s and Singles list over at Beats In Space! In addition to a busy schedule producing original tracks (look out for Bicep’s EP2 coming early 2011 on Throne of Blood, and forthcoming releases on Mystery Meat and a host of other labels), remixing, and DJing around Europe, Asia, and the US, Bicep along with their co-pilot Rory find time to update their, FEELMYBICEP.com, providing a window into the singular aesthetic that is Bicep. VOLTA BUREAU (DJ Set) http://soundcloud.com/voltabureau Volta Bureau have received major success with their sophomore single, "Alley Cat" and their third single, "Love Cubed." Euphoric anthem "Love Cubed," and the flip side, a dub mix, both landed within the top 40 of Beatport's Indie Dance Charts in less than a week after release. In addition, "Alley Cat" has landed a coveted spot in Dimitri From Paris's latest mix for Defected Records, From Paris Back In The House. Volta Bureau's recently released rework of Mike & Brenda Sutton's disco classic "We'll Make It," went to number 26 on Beatport's Indie Dance Chart. Their latest remix of Gwenno is available for free download at http://bit.ly/PSKpzR
