Live Review: 2 Bears Guest Mix for Purple Sneakers on FBi Click

Oh boy, have we got a killer way to kick off the New Year for you. I hope you've had a pleasant break, and getting back to work and/or study isn't too much of a grind - but even if it is, we've got just the right thing to make your week run a little bit more smoothly. In advance: you're welcome.

Bringing in 2015 (sounds waaaay futuristic, right?) for the first new episode of the PURPLE SNEAKERS show on FBI CLICK is an extra special guest mix brought to you by none other than UK-based duo THE 2 BEARS.

Kicking around for a few years now the 2 (heavily) bearded boys of THE 2 BEARS have become globally known for their signature brand of house music.

Channeling tinges of retro-inspired deep house crossed with unique compositional and structural techniques, the widely inspired sounds of THE 2 BEARS all effortlessly congeal to create a bitchin' brew of silk-laden, nouveau computer music that translates to a refreshing sonic experience.

Within this week's 30 minute guest mix you can expect to be exposed to these such audio delights that I described above and more. Featuring a dense tracklist that is absolutely full to the brim with rare house cuts, original material and much more, we couldn't possibly think of a better way to spend the day than listening to this svelte slab of tunes on constant repeat.

TRACKLIST:

1. Isolee - Dennis (Ripperton Remix)
2. Genius Of Time - Juno Jam
3. The 2 Bears - Angel (Touch Me) (Bears 12" Dub)
4. Phil Kieren - Countdown
5. The 2 Bears - Not This Time (Andhim Remix)
6. Bitch - Bad Boy

Appearing on our radars at a pretty timely point, THE 2 BEARS guest mix comes just before the boys are set to arrive on our shores, playing boutique festival Sugar Mountain alongside Nas, Ariel Pink and ODESZA. For our pleasure they'll also be playing some accompanying shows across the country. Peep the deets below:
