Book The 2 Bears
The 2 Bears are a London-born dance duo pairing Joe Goddard, a member of electronic favorites Hot Chip, with Raf Rundell, a former press officer who came up through the 1965 Records camp. Formed in 2009, the pair met while working the Greco-Roman soundsystem parties and quickly built a sound that blends 2-step, house, garage and warm soul, a mix critics have tagged with playful labels like pop-hip-house and rave-garage. Their early run on Southern Fried Records produced the Follow The Bears, Curious Nature EP and Bearhug EP releases, featuring tracks such as "Mercy Time" and "Be Strong." The debut album Be Strong arrived in 2012, led by the single "Work," and the follow-up The Night Is Young landed in 2014. Beyond their own records, they host the Follow the Bears radio show on Ministry of Sound Radio and have reworked tracks for Santigold, Metronomy, the View and Toddla T. Equally at home behind decks or fronting a party set, The 2 Bears bring a joyful, groove-first club energy rooted in years of soundsystem culture and dancefloor know-how.
