Ever larger than life on stage, Bicep is getting bigger and bolder after announcing CHROMA, an ambitious audio-visual crossover into colorful new territory for the duo.
The acclaimed tandem is revered for pushing the forefront of electronic music, but CHROMA promises a multi-sensory optic that fans have yet to experience. The project involves the launch of a new record label, a series of curated events and a new visual identity with custom production, according to a press release shared with EDM.com.
Through the looking glass, it appears Bicep has engineered a kaleidoscopic live spectacle designed to overwhelm the senses. Their synthetic textures are already vivid enough to feel chromatic, but they're breathing new life into their signature sound by joining forces with David Rudnick's renowned Terrain creative studio and longtime “BICEP LIVE” visual collaborator Zak Norman.
The elastic nature of the new production is its piece de resistance. We're told that Bicep's CHROMA stage setup will establish an operational link between its decks and the creative team, allowing the latter to adapt their images and lasers in real time.
Bicep teased the show's trippy visuals to a crowd of around 15,000 at London's Drumsheds in December. The concert marked the first of an upcoming CHROMA special event serieswhich the duo say will be “much more fluid, constantly evolving and changing week to week with much more experimentation.”

Meanwhile, on the label side, CHROMA will essentially function as a latticework of left-field tracks that “don't really fit into the 'Bicep' sound” and represent music that would otherwise “never see the light of day,” he said. the duo. Fans can expect a “broader musical palette and BPM range” and Bicep will release music under various aliases “with their own distinctive visual and sonic identity.”
“We want to use CHROMA to push our sounds and challenge people more than we probably have in the past,” Bicep explained. “The label is designed to constantly evolve and be inspired, both musically and aesthetically. Ultimately, we want to create a world that is an updated representation of both of us personally in terms of our evolving tastes.”
Bicep launched the label released today by virtue of a fascinating single, “CHROMA 001 HELIUM.” You can listen to the new track below and find it on streaming platforms. here.
