The 2 Bears debut album is available now to pre-order from their website where you can also stream the entire record. It’s a joyous set that takes in house and garage, dancehall, pop and even country and western at one point.
The various pre-order bundles also include the rather natty deluxe set that comes complete with ‘Be Strong’ t-shirt, Tea Towel and best of all 2 Bears table tennis paddles. Check it all out here:

It may seem a strange proposition but perhaps there is a collective consciousness that can leave one club flat and makes another club fly; a presiding force that guides people through the peaks and troughs of a DJs record selection. January 2012 sees the release of the debut The 2 Bears album Be Strong. A London record through and through, it ducks and weaves to the myriad sounds of the city, as The 2 Bears Raf Daddy and Joe Goddard pursue the perfect party record. Alongside tracks like Be Strong, Church and the mighty Bear Hug – a pummeling treatise on the benefits of the peak time dancefloor cuddle – Raf and Joe mutate genres into previously unheard territories of dancehall country on the bouncing prison yard lament Time In Mind and garage reggae on Heart Of the Congos, a track that manages to simultaneously channel both Wookie and early ‘80s Madness before placing them each at a system in the heart of Notting Hill Carnival at dusk.
