It may seem a strange proposition but perhaps there is a collective consciousness that can leave one club flat and makes one club fly; a presiding force that guides people through the peaks and troughs of a DJs record selection. So, what's the magic that makes one night legendary and another just a bad hangover? It's a question that The 2 Bears - Raf Daddy and Joe Goddard - have long mulled over in the studio whilst in the extremely commendable pursuit of trying to create the perfect party record.
Donning the robes of finger wagging disco diva, throwing off the shackles of disguise, deception and mistrust, 'Not This Time' is The 2 Bears biggest pop moment yet.
Reveling in the role of a wronged lover in valedictory form, Raf Daddy is at his most "fierce" on the latest cut from the bears' eclectic new album, 'The Night Is Young'. It's a stark contrast and one that cleverly moves the full-on party hedonism of their debut forward, without sacrificing any of its unadulterated disco charm. The record undulates, it's like a taster menu; courses of hard house, soft reggae, punchy ragga, piano tear-jerkers, funk and soul, all made crystalline with the typically high level of production and the passion of Raf's voice.
Honing their craft with all the care and attention paid to a well-groomed patch of facial hair, Raf and Joe have bounced from Brixton to Tel Aviv via Cape Town, sharing the decks ever since their fateful incarnation, delivering a memorable blend of house, techno, ragga and more to almost every continent. A bearded pilgrimage if you will, and one that has coloured in the bold dancefloor-centric shapes of their second album 'The Night Is Young'.
