BICEP & Eliza

BICEP recently released ‘TANGZ’, the latest single from their ongoing CHROMA project. The track sees them ramp up the tempo, with vocals from eUK singer/songwriter Eliza. The track, which debuted back at their 2023 Drumsheds takeover comes hot on the heels of the duo’s return to the London, where they hosted a sold-out “CHROMA in the Sheds” takeover.

BICEP: “We have both been fans of Eliza for years and actually worked on a remix she sang on over 10 years ago now. Her most recent album ‘A Sky Without Stars’ shows an amazing side to her voice and the direction her sound has developed in recent years. The first single, ‘Straight Talker,’ was so strong; it had all the touchstones of amazing ‘90s neo-soul and R&B we loved but it sounded new and fresh. 

 

“We got in touch with a track we had in mind that might work and then sent her some ideas, and she came back with a full vocal. The track really just fell in place when we listened to her first take. We nearly always take the vocals and pretty much start again from scratch, sort of remixing our own demo. We have been messing around in the studio on faster chopped-up breaks, and this felt like the perfect opportunity to take a track from almost hip-hop feeling to full breaks over the course of the song.

 

“Tempo-wise it (’TANGZ) really is at the far reaches of something we’ve made to date. It has a feeling that is common in our music but the tempo is more foreign in the aspect of our usual work. It’s worked really nice towards the end of our sets, showing a different flavour from us and a much faster tempo, allowing us to move through jungle and bass music sounds.”
