Review: A decade has now passed since Bicep launched their label, Feel My Bicep, and in that time they've released countless EPs from talented producers based on the island of Ireland. Here's another, which comes courtesy of sometime Shall Not Fade and Lost Palms artist - and Shine Belfast resident - Swoose. Title track 'Breathe' is utterly gorgeous: an enveloping, immersive, tactile and wide-eyed slab of sunrise-ready deep house colour rich in kaleidoscopic chords, shuffling breakbeats, deep bass and ear-pleasing lead lines. On 'Hyphae', Swoose doffs a cap to vintage Orbital releases, peppering an early-to-mid-90s UK techno groove with gorgeous melodies and even more picturesque pads. The accompanying remixes are excellent, too, with Kessler's breakbeat hardcore-goes-deep house tweak of 'Breathe', and Peach's rubbery, near 140 BPM rework of 'Hyphae' both hitting the spot.
