Bandcamp / Buy Los Angeles artist Arshia Fatima Haq was thumbing through racks of dusty vinyl at New Yorkâs A-1 Records a few years ago when a title caught her eye: Disco Se Aagay, or âBeyond Discoâ in Haqâs native Urdu. Peering out from the sleeve was a teenage girl with bouffant â80s hair, a white dinner jacket, and a Mona Lisa smile. The album was billed as âa step further in the field of disco musicâ; the musicians were identified in the credits as a brother and sister, Nermin Niazi and Feisal Mosleh, from Birmingham, England.

Bicep have shared their new track Sundial . The duo spent the bulk of 2020 holed up in their East London studio, focussing on the follow up to their hugely acclaimed debut album. Kept off the road and out of the clubs by coronavirus, Bicep responded by diving inwards, a journey reflected on new album Isles . Out on January 22nd, the latest preview to emerge is Sundial , a piece that samples a Bollywood deep cut. Emerging from those prolonged studio sessions, the track captures a sense of release, utilising mistakes in a refreshing manner. Bicep comment. âThis is probably one of the simplest tracks on the album, it grew from a faulty Jupiter 6 arp recording. Our trigger isn t working properly and the arp skips notes randomly. This was a small segment taken from a recording of Andy just playing the arp live whilst we were just trying to figure out what was going wrong. We actually loved what it had produced and wrote some chords around it, guided by t ....
