Ep 8 - Bicep - Isles

Episode 8 of This Is Not Happening finds one of the most
hotly-anticipated electronic music albums of the last year:
Bicep's Isles. Made mostly before lockdown, and held back as
music came to terms with the pandemic, Isles comes after their
monster self-titled debut in 2017. Guy is at the helm to ask if
you can dance to an album with no dancefloors and whether genres
matter.

In the second part of the show, we follow up covers with our
favourite remixes, going right across the board with new and old,
and finding out what makes a great remix. We chose:

David: Eric B & Rakim - Paid In Full (Seven Minutes of
Madness - The Coldcut Remix)
Nolan: Freeform Five - No More Conversations (Mylo Remix)
Joey: Fuck Buttons - Sweet Love For Planet Earth (Andrew
Weatherall Remix)
Guy: David Bowie - Lost Is Love (Hello Steve Reich Mix by James
Murphy for the DFA)

This album of the month and all our music discussions from the
past decade or more can be found on our blog at
www.thisisnothappening.net, which will run alongside the podcast
choices and much, much more. So check them out so to see what we
love and what we don't love, and if something catches your eye,
we'd love to hear what you think. 



Episode #9 will be casting our eye over the much-hyped debut
album from Arlo Parks: Collapsed In Sunbeams. Coming to you in
late March.
