The 2 Bears have announced details of their forthcoming compilation ‘2 Bears, 1 Love’.
The 2 Bears united a pair of producers renowned for their crate digging. Raf Daddy and Joe Goddard are both fantastic DJs, whose respective careers have seen them entertain dancefloors around the globe.
Essentially a house project, The 2 Bears’ new compilation has more of a Dancehall tip. Resident Advisor broke the news, with ‘2 Bears, 1 Love’ boasting a cover which recalls the cartoon-ish typography of 80s Dancehall.
The tracklisting suggests that the pair won’t be deviating too far away from their house / Funky tips, although there are a few typically odd selections.
Fun Boy Three are evident, while The 2 Bears slip in some out and out Dancehall favourites. Spread across two discs, the release also carries an exclusive remix of The 2 Bears’ ‘Birds & the Bees’ by X-Press 2.
‘2 Bears, 1 Love’ will be released on ITH Records. Tracklisting:
