The 2 Bears absolutely smashed it last year with their whimsical hit ‘Bear Hug’ lodging itself in the brains of many bear/electronic music lovers like a funky splinter. This year is set to be even more of a grizzly ride with their debut album Be Strong due for a January 29th release which will no doubt send us folks residing here in the ‘blogosphere’ (as people who write newspapers like to call it) bloody mental. First, however, we have been gifted — or at least, gifted the opportunity to purchase — a cracking remixes EP featuring some ball-busting edits of the Bears’ recent single ‘Work’ alongside the full version of the track itself. Employing the galactic talents of Toddla T, Oliver $, Supabeatz and Franky Rizardo, it’s a heavyweight line-up and the resultant tunes are more radical than your cousin when he wears that sun visor backwards AND upside down. Now that’s flippin’ cool.

Below is Toddla’s offering which features vocals from former Roll Deep member Trim as well as Scrufizzer and Trigganom and I guarantee that if you like it, you’ll like it. Have a listen and I’ll give you a bear hug…although I’m not particularly bear-like. It would probably be more of a bear skeleton hug. It would still comfort you though, you cold-hearted zombie you.

This is a short mix he did exclusively for Fact Magazine late last year and it consists solely of his own productions. Some of which are awesome — ‘Pick Up the Phone’ is pretty mad — and some of which don’t quite twang the right note. It’s still ultimately a decent mix and an interesting insight into what Clipz, usual purveyor of all things heavy, is really capable of. Fuck knows what it has to do with crab meat though.
