The 2 Bears

The two 2 Bears certainly are a cooperation between manufacturer Raf Rundell, co-founder from the 1965 label, and Joe Goddard of Hot Chip. Both crossed pathways while DJ’ing a London party hosted with the latter’s Greco-Roman Soundsystem collective. Afterwards the duo teamed to web host Stick to the Bears, an application for Ministry of Audio Radio, and proceeded to go about replicating a number of the Detroit techno and Chicago home that they had been playing, with Goddard producing beats and Rundell performing. During 2010 and 2011, they released four EPs on Southern Fried. End up being Strong, their initial album, made an appearance in January 2012 through Southern Fried in the U.K. and DFA in the U.S. Rundell and Goddard drew motivation from their moves in South Africa because of their second album, THE NIGHT TIME Is Youthful, which featured periods recorded with regional artists on the studio room of BLK JKS’ Tshepang Ramoba.
