The name says it all. This week, Joe Goddard (Hot Chip member and solo producer) and Raf Rundell (DJ, club promoter and part of the renowned Greco-Roman soundsystem) – known collectively as The 2 Bears – take us on an irresistible ‘Balearic Bashment’ journey, along the way exploring the mass of influences that have helped shape the duo’s bounced-up club- house sound.
Beginning with some timeless psychedelic pop from The Beach Boys, the Bears’ move through Cali Swag District’s slick, minimal hip hop groove, followed by a Theo Parrish remix of About Group (a project of fellow Hot Chipper Alexis Taylor) and a cluster of Toddla T remixes, including a particularly nice effort from young producer Dillon Francis, who veers Toddla’s ‘Take It Back’ between choppy vocal stylings and grimy dancehall-inspired electro.
The 2 Bears’ ‘Bear Hug’ EP is released on 20 June on Southern Fried Records, with the duo’s debut album set for release in autumn.
