Bicep continue to develop their Feel My Bicep imprint and follow up releases from Hammer, 808 State and Cromby with a 12" from a fresh signee: James Shinra.
With over 10 years experience in releasing music, James is an artist with a broad sound palette - evinced clearly in his 2018 LP 'Vital Heat' within which he astutely turned his hand to everything from 'laid back piano pieces to frenetic breakbeat workouts'.
Having also previously remixed Kiwi duo Sandboards on FMB008 he now captures a distinctly Feel My Bicep tone in bringing together 2 impassioned tracks suffused with 80's character. Cleverly structured and melodically complex, they showcase his skilful synth-work perfectly.
Also included is a robust interpretation of Arc from 50Weapons and R&S affiliate Benjamin Damage as well as a balmy remix of Signs from the legendary John Beltran fresh from his Placid Angles album earlier this year.
Includes unlimited streaming of Signs
via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.

A master of his craft. This album is absolutely stunning. I've picked Ghost in the Machine as my favourite track, but to be honest, this is a difficult thing to do. It's like trying to choose between your children.
Essential listening.
Can't wait for the eventual follow up!! Pirtek

Finely crafted electro, James Shinra is making a killing in the business of sci-fi space club slayers. "Nebula" is the first to hit, switching between arp and acid for amped polarized move patterns, while "Runn" rides the analog-conda, tapping on FM bells for a more serene scene. Then my personal fav, "Nebula" makes for an excellent beginning, lightly opening up the maw of a blackhole, with "Interstellar" as a wrapper-up, a gentle yet complex parabolic descent from heaven to Earth's orbit.

Emotionally stirring avant-techno from Surgeons Girl, offering a field of percolating analog synths to get lost in. Bandcamp New & Notable Oct 18, 2022
Delightfully manic dance music from British producer Patrick Tipler where worked-up rhythms collide with high-intensity synths. Bandcamp New & Notable Sep 4, 2021
