Almost the weekend again and we have another hype party to look forward to this Friday at The Nest, Dalston. We touched on this at the end of last week in so we thought we should give you the full deets.
The 2 Bears, aka Raf Daddy and Joe Hot Chip will be launching their latest Ep The "Bear Hug" Ep with a riotous gathering at club night Scandalism taking place this Friday the 13th at Dalston's favorite rave den The Nest. We are super hyped to be on the bill alongside the mighty Toddla T, Ayah Marar (Live), Stripes, Union and of course The 2 Bears.
Unfortunately no sound clip of the Ep itself yet (Out on Southern Fried on the 30th May) but we have heard some seriously good things. The 4 track Ep includes the track's "Take a look around" feat star to be Alice Gold and Raf's own laid back vocals followed up by instrumental jump up feast "In My Brain Is Like A Computer". The EP title Track "Bear Hug" is next up and the closer comes in the form of "Banger" a track that obviously needs no description.
To make up for the lack in Bear Hug audio clips we've posted a Soundcloud player below featuring the most recent 2 Bears remix jams including their upcoming remix of Toddla T and SholaAma'sfiya "Take It Back" and their superb remix of Ben Westbeech's "Falling" that has been getting some serious playage in our sets recently.
Enjoy and see you at the Nest on Friday for the weekend kick off.
Time for another Garms with no arms post. And it's always a pleasure to alert you to a must have bit of shirtage when it is at such a bargain price and limited in production as well.
We love The 2 Bears, their housey house gems have been some of our favorite releases of the past year. The 2 Bears, a collaboration between Raf Rundell (Greco Roman Sound System) and Joe Goddard (Hot Chip), both highly establish DJs and producers in their own right make some seriously soulful yet tough house music with their love of Chicago house, hip hop and garage shining through in their productions.
Catch us supporting the guys at their "Bear Hug Ep" Launch next Friday (13th May) at the Nest alongside Toddla T and a few more gooduns.... but more to come on that next week.
Anyway, on to the the garms bit. These classy little numbers went on sale this morning and are strictly limited. Roll on over to the official 2 Bears web site shop and cop yourself a one before they run out. A Ltd Bear Tee will only set you back £12.50 a piece (plus £2.50 p&p) so well worth grabbing one now and repping some real house music on your chest.
Also Check out the below 2 Bears mix crafted for the Red Bull Music Academy Radio. It's a serious win listen.
