Hammer [Feel My Bicep, Correspondent - UK]

The month keeps rolling but we’re not stopping: Hammer – intimately connected with Glasgow’s notorious Feel My Bicep is here to smash up the floor with some serious house music.

Hammer’s productions exude a blend of raw and delicate house sensibility, licked with party-built melody and jazziness that rides on waves of base and heavy synth oscillations.

His sets take in wide canvases of the electronic soundscape, bringing in atmospheric, dreamy takes on house and techno to create a cumulative journey of dance.

He’ll be joined by our own half of Manchester/Saigon’s MadderModes, Steffan from Berlin and ParkING.

HAMMER

Hammer, a headstrong instrument used for breaking things and driving in nails , much like his sound and his approach to music.

Belfast born and bread, with a further education in Glasgow’s rich house and techno scene, Rory Hamilton aka Hammer has established himself as one of the UK’s most exciting DJ and producers illuminating dancefloors around Europe and beyond with his own take on electronic music. Now based in London, Hammer continues to develop his sound to challenge the dance floor with a focus on energy and strong grooves, deep, rich, and ever evolving.

As one of the co-pilots of the Feel My Bicep blog, Hammers relationship with Bicep runs long from childhood. Rory along with his friends Matt & Andy (Bicep) immersed themselves in the Belfast electronic scene from a young age.

From their school days listening to everything from techno to disco – to their collaboration on Dahlia EP to his first solo release on the FMB imprint with the mighty C-Space EP – his association with Bicep runs deep.

Rory moved to Glasgow to study art and quickly established his owns parties and then took on a residency at the legendary Sub Club with the Thunder Disco brand, learning his craft from legends; Optimo, Harri, and Domenic. He honed his style, and for a decade now Hammer has hosted nights in Glasgow, inviting the likes of Floating Points, Ben UFO, and Paranoid London to Sub Club.

Since Hammer’s debut EP on Optimo, he has followed up with releases on Huntley & Palmers, Loft, Modern Magic, Hotflush and the mighty Feel My Bicep imprint. Continuously achieving praise such as Mixmag’s record of the month with his latest track ‘Ozone’, whilst being held in high regard with his peers. The Hammer Hits label seen his track, Love Somebody sell out within days.

Hammer has releases slated for Jennifer Cardini’s Correspondent, Denis Sulta’s Silver Service, and a follow up on Feel My Bicep records scheduled for early 2019.
