At the tail end of their most prolific year to date, Northern Irish duo Bicep have had a lot of reasons to size up the new age competition. Back on their own Feel My Bicep imprint, their follow-up to “Satisfy” offers up another fine serving of the upfront house values that have catapulted them to the forefront of the craft. An effective and familiar concoction of scattered keys and heavyset grooves make “Snack Bar” another song in the key of a duo whose underground hallmarks seem only to go grow more effective with time. Whether it’s the caliber of their music or the timing of their universal explosion, Bicep look buoyantly poised to keep their finger locked onto the pulse of European house music for 2014.
