The 2 Bears will perform tomorrow at XOYO!!
House | Friday 5th October 2012 | Laura
Celebrate the launch of their new compilation 2 Bears 1 Love with House legend Todd Terry.
Tomorrow Hot Chip's Joe Goddard and Greco-Roman Soundsystem member, Raf 'Daddy' Rundell, aka 2 Bears, will join Todd Terry, known for cross-over productions on tracks like the Jungle Brothers ‘I’ll House You’, to blow up the XOYO with their beats. Room 2 will be ruled by ReviveHER (logo), Semtek B2B TK (Special Request), Bradley Zero (Rhythm Section / Boiler Room) and Bi-Bop & Nicholas Feel.
The two bears met while working together at the Greco-Roman soundsystem parties and in 2009. Their style mixes 2-step, house, techno, hip-hop and soul. After three EPs and their debut album Be Strong, released early this year, they come back with more Bear material compiled in their latest project 2 Bears 1 Love, which, according to their record label, “is a Caribbean-flecked mix of brash house beats and dutty rhythms, overlaid with Raf's inimitable gruff vocals”. It features original 2 Bears tracks and remixes and an eclectic selection of tracks from Toddla T, Crowdpleaser, Metro Area, Kim English, Paperclip People and Ossie, as well as an exclusive new remix of their own Birds & The Bees from X-Press 2.
