#1 - The blogging supremos put their money in the Spoonfed juke box.
Few DJs are such testament to the power of the bloggosphere as Belfast duo Bicep. Their Feel My Bicep blog has become the first port of call for all those looking for hard to find tunes, cutting edge edits and guest mixes, and has catapulted them from behind their computers to behind the decks at some of the UK's finest parties. Last week they announced the launch of a new monthly residency at Plastic People, with each party adopting a different theme. So with a couple of red hot EPs on the shelves and a new club night on the calendar, we thought they'd be a fine choice to kick off our DJ Playlist series.
The first song you ever bought
Cypress Hill - Insane in the Membrane: "Not a bad record for an 8 year old! I remember walking into HMV and liking the look of the front cover!"
A guilty pleasure
Fox the Fox - Precious Little Diamond: "You gotta' love Dutch one hit wonders! Truly amazing track!"
The last song you listened to
MK - Burning: "Absolute burner. I played this on Saturday night as well. Complete weapon"
One you wish you'd written/produced
Depeche Mode - Enjoy the Silence: "How have these guys never had a number one. Just a ridiculously good band! Seen them several times, always been blown away."
The song you want played at your funeral
Kano - Another Life: "Probably my favourite song ever. It's magical, and the lyrics would fit perfectly at my funeral!"
The song you lost your virginity to
Mark McCabe - Maniac 2000 - "hahahahahaha - say nafin"
A song you can't help singing along to
Starship - We Built This City: "I'd skip out the verses, but with a enough glasses of whiskey in the belly this could coinside nicely with a little Chinese karaoke"
Your favourite memory of DJing yourself
Carl Craig - Future Love: "I'd never really been in the setting that I thought this track would be suitable until we played the almightly Louche in Leeds. This blew up!"
A fond clubbing memory of hearing someone else play
Josh Wink & Lil Louis - How's Your Evening So Far?: One of my first ever experiences of clubbing that wasn't cheesy hardhouse or commerical 1997 trance was seeing Josh Wink play this - changed everything"
A song you've never heard out but wish you had
The Who - Eminence Front: "Another all time favourite...I want to play this to 10,000 people"
Feel My Bicep: One Night in New York City is at Plastic People on Wednesday 5th October
