Loving the grittier, darker sound of this

Here's what they had to say about Chroma recently with Mixmag. Definitely seems like it'll be their platform to showcase alternative sounds from them compared with what we've become accustomed to.
Having already teased visuals for CHROMA in front of a 15,000-strong crowd at their sold-out Drumsheds show last year, the Belfast duo have shared more details on the new project; including new single 'CHROMA 001 HELIUM' - which marks their debut on the CHROMA imprint.
Bicep, aka Matt McBriar and Andy Ferguson, have described the direction of the new label as "underground-focused," looking to explore a wider array of genres and inspirations, and provide an "up-to-date" representation of their current tastes.
In a statement on the label, the pair said: “We’ve increasingly wanted to show a more rounded picture of what we do in the studio."
“We do a lot of more heavy techno focused music, ambient and various other styles that don't really fit into the 'Bicep' sound, and which often never sees the light of day.”
The "unique" visual identity for CHROMA was designed in collaboration with David Rudnick and his Terrain studio, and then adapted for an A/V live format with BICEP LIVE artist Zak Norman.
The pair had selected Rudnick due to sharing "a lot of the same inspirations in the design world and rave culture influence," wanting to bring a "unique language" to the CHROMA project.
New single 'CHROMA 001 HELIUM' was written "specifically" for the duo's run at London's Alexandra Palace in 2022, the pair have shared. " The show felt a little too sweet in certain sections, and we wanted to add some more grit into the show.”
Ferguson and McBriar said that, as a result, the single is "a bit darker and more club-focused than most of our music we have released over the past few years. Although it’s actually a pretty fair representation of what we’re listening to and playing in our DJ sets."
While a number of CHROMA shows have already been announced, including sets at Coachella, AVA, Dekmantel, C2C and more — the new announcement clarifies the form their hybrid A/V DJ shows will take.
Described as more of a "hybrid between DJ set and live," Ferguson and McBriar have teased that CHROMA LIVE will be "constantly evolving and changing on a week to week basis with lots more experimentation.”

Added to 6 Music's B(!) List today. Shocker, should be A Listed (it'll probably work its way up)

I love this so much. I don't think it's that different to Isles though outside of the vocal sample.
It seems like they've stylised their name to all caps now.

I wasn't totally sure what to make of this on first listen but after a few more listens I love it - they definitely sound like they've been taking notes from Overmono, not that that's a bad thing.

New single out on Thursday sounds so good
'CHROMA 002 L.A.V.A' with Benjamin Damage. And I hear Clara La San on vocals again *.*

Oh my GOD

Who is/are B.D.B? Benjamin Damage + BICEP? It's listed as first artist...
Posted by: lewistgreen 15th March 2024, 07:44 PM
I'd imagine it is a collaborative effort. It's not the first time B.D.B. has released as a previous EP came out on Feel My Bicep. At the time Benjamin Damage said it was an alias collaborative project with 'anonymous label mates', guess those mates are Bicep.

Bicep and Clara La San are just the perfect combination aren’t they?

This is incredible f*** me

DOVE, BICEP - CHROMA 003 Bi83
I thought the song was called DOVE? Who is DOVE?
Posted by: lewistgreen 5th May 2024, 12:49 PM
Dove is a Bicep alias (though I too thought it was the song name until release). They've said it'll be used for "singular ideas" and "experimental concepts". Dove will "lean into the sounds we grew up with, with a rave-leaning aesthetic".
I really like the track, it's the best of the three so far.

Took a couple of listens but it's another great tune from them. Wish it was slightly longer though with another acid synth breakdown
