Fridays at Jæger means international bookings with g-Ha & Olanskii playing hosts to some of the best DJs from around the world. This Friday we invite back old friends and regular fixtures at Jæger, Bicep. The UK duo are known for their high energy brand of House they pedal as DJs, artists and through their label, Feel My Bicep.

Taking their inspiration and distinct imagery from the iconic 1977 docudrama Pumping Iron (featuring a very young and pumped Arnold Schwarzenegger), Bicep is the musical brainchild of Belfast-raised duo Andy Ferguson and Matt McBriar. DJing and collecting vinyl since their late teens, the pair’s love of disco, Chicago house, Detroit techno, Italo-Disco, and everything analog in-between inspired them to create a music-based blog entitled Feelmybicep.com. Acting as an outlet for the duo’s eclectic and esoteric dance music tastes, as well as showcasing personal mixes and re-edits, they moved to London and began DJing around the capital. As the website grew in stature and reputation (it featured guest mixes from Simian Mobile Disco, Ben Sun, and Ooft amongst many others), they began to hone their own production skills resulting in their first 12” release on Citizen Kane’s Ghost Town records (which was released in 2009 under a re-edit called “Strawberry”). It was their 2010 12”, “Darwin,” on the Rapture’s co-owned label Throne of Blood that got them wider recognition; with the early support of Beats in Space host and DFA cohort Tim Sweeney, it topped the Boomkat chart and became XLR8R’s most downloaded track of 2010. Bicep also released 313 on Traveller Records. This led to worldwide DJ gigs, another release on Throne of Blood — the Silk EP — and more remix opportunities in 2011 with the likes of Blood Orange, Tal M. Klein, Medlar, and Cosmic Kids all getting the Bicep treatment. During this same year, they started a monthly residency at Plastic People in East London.

Bicep and g-Ha & Olanskii will be joined by Celius, Oskar Pask and Ricky Late, keeping it koselig in our lounge with the latest cuts from House and Techno, while our guests occupy our basement.
