Stash EP

Released in 2013 on Aus Music, the Stash EP represents a pivotal moment in Bicep's evolution from influential bloggers and crate-diggers to world-class producers. While their later self-titled LP would embrace widescreen, cinematic breakbeats, Stash is firmly rooted in the tradition of deep house and classic analog synthesis. The title track is a standout for its use of a thick, driving bassline and saturated percussion that became a signature of the duo's early sound. 'Courtside Drama' and 'The Game' showcase their ability to weave emotive melodies into functional club tools, while 'Rise' offers a more expansive, atmospheric journey. Critically, the EP was praised for its sophisticated production and its ability to evoke nostalgia for 90s house without feeling derivative. It remains one of their most respected underground releases, bridging the gap between their disco-edit origins and their future as electronic icons.
