Jeez

New Light Year, ridiculously different from their previous stuff, ridiculously good. A cheeky groover from the Eats Everything essential mix, F.A.Q. proves it's possible to remix Gramtik and Drop Out Orchestra dun good again this time with a rework of  classic 'mary mary - shackles'

Hello We Are: The 2 Bears

London-based outfit Joe (of Hot Chip fame) & Raf have been producing together since 2009. 2 Bears was the brain child of a friend of theirs who decided they should start a duo. 3 years later sees them with numerous EPs, an album, an Annie Mac mini mix and and essential mix under their belts. 

Life is honey sweet.

Their first recorded track together 'Be Strong' had flavours of the Mylo classic 'Destroy Rock & Roll', paying respect to legends of the game 'The 2 Bears would like to give lots of musical love to all nice and decent people ...Wu Tang Clan, Steely Dan, The KLF, Todd Tejre..'

The bears went on to release several EPs before enjoying their greatest success last year with the infectious 'Bear Hug'. Time to reminisce.

Their debut album was released on Monday and is already being hailed by many in the industry as one of the albums of the year.

With tunes such as personal favourite of mine 'Get Together' it's hard to disagree. The dreamy 'Get Together' draws from classic synthpop tune Smalltown Boy by Bronski Beat and then like the rest of the album is injected with an irresistible concoction of 'pop-hip-house', 'liquid-bore-house-step' and 'rave-garage'. Stream the whole album below and make it the soundtrack to your summer if you know what's good for you.
