The 2 Bears is a London-based DJ and production duo consisting of Joe Goddard and Raf Rundell. Both already heavily immersed in the electronic music scene--Goddard as a production guru for Hot Chip and Rundell as a popular record label head--the two came together thanks not only to their mutual love for Chicago house, electro and Detroit techno, but also for their shared disdain for pretentious styles and attitudes in electronic music. The duo, often seen wearing full bear costumes, upholds this mission statement of sorts with silly, carefree tracks such as "Bear Hug" that try to add a palpable sense of fun to modern electronic styles.
