◾️ Bicep ◾️ In 2008, Belfast natives Andy Ferguson and Matt McBriar were posting 100+ tracks a week on their blog, Feel My Bicep. Now, the Irish duo have added being DJs, producers, promoters, labels owners and even live performers to their resume – but blogging remains a core part of their artistry. The two have played a crucial role in the development of house music over the past ten years and continue to be icons in the underground community.

Another Belfast native, Rory Hamilton has been friends with the boys of Bicep since childhood and is a co-pilot of the Feel My Bicep blog.

Mall Grab with support from X-Coast and Overland
◾️ MALL GRAB ◾️ Australian born DJ Jordon Alexander, aka Mall Grab, is considered to be relatively new to the scene, releasing his debut EP just four years ago. However, he has made huge strides since then and is not to be underestimated. As the founder of the record labels Steel City Dance Discs and Looking For Trouble, Jordon is constantly on the move, putting out new sounds and proving his place in the world of house music. He has been consistently selling out parties across Europe and is expected to do the same when he lands in New York.

◾️ X-COAST ◾️ Serbian-born, Brookyln-based musician Bojan Cizmic is known for referencing multiple genres in his productions. His smash debut, named Mango Bay EP after the EP’s most successful single, plays with nostalgic sounds of 90’s rave culture and has garnered hundreds of thousands of views on Youtube. Cizmic’s productions, along with his ability to effortlessly drift through different genres and musical styles, have earned the artist a ravenous reputation on the internet and beyond.
️◾️ Overland ◾️ Canadian dance music heroine, Jodie Overland comes to New York from her hometown in Vancouver where she works tirelessly as an event producer and DJ. Her sets are always surprising, but you can expect a unique blend of acid, industrial, and Detroit techno.
