Just looking at this photo of Jessie Ware & Joe Goddard (Hot Chip/The 2 Bears) in a studio is enough to get any music lover excited.  The two brilliant artists were captured in the studio together working on his remix of her track “Night Light”.  As utterly fantastic as the finished product is (a stunning, dancefloor storming, deep electro remix), the video of Miss Ware & Mr. Goddard in the studio is equally amazing to watch.  Sit back and enjoy the video below as you catch a rare glimpse of an artist and remixer coming together to share ideas on a remix.  Then, after the video, stand up and dance.

Joe Goddard, of Hot Chip, is making our lives a little bit better with his remix of Disclosure‘s “Control.” With beefy synths, great percussive work, a solid arrangement, and a cool vibe, the track has just about every ingredient necessary for it to be enjoyed to the fullest. Head on after the jump to hear what it’s all about.

Much to my excitement, The 2 Bears announced today that they will be releasing their debut album, Be Strong, on DFA Records digitally on January 31st, with a physical release coming sometime in the spring. Encompassing multiple genres from UK Funky to Dancehall to a bit of Garage, Be Strong embodies a sense of London soul that Joe Goddard and Raf Daddy have built up together over the past year or so, and it’s this uniqueness that has made me such a fan. To tide you over until the release in 2012, The 2 Bears have sent over the brand new music video to their track, ‘Work,’ which will be found on the new album.

First I was a fan of Hot Chip. Then I found The 2 Bears. Now, it seems as if Joe Goddard will also be doing a solo project under his own moniker. As it was with his last musical endeavors, Joe Goddard strays from the norm and creates something fresh, catchy, and tasteful. His latest release is a deep take on Tyson’s ‘After You’re Gone,’ and the amalgam of Goddard’s bold usage of Acid basslines and Tyson’s 70′s Disco vocals proves to be a knockout in this 8 minute epic.

Raf Rundell and Joe Goddard AKA The 2 Bears are up there with my top 5 acts of 2011 so far. Their refreshing sound has been evident in all 4 of their EPs since March of 2010, and it seems as if they show no signs of letting up. With elements of Garage, Funk, Tech, and their own brand of Electronica, The 2 Bears consistently outdo themselves with brilliant production. Last month, the duo put out a promo mix for last weekend’s Bestival on the Isle of Wight, and it’s a good one. Complete with plenty of originals off of their newest EP, Bear Hug, as well as a few from the likes of LOL Boys, Toddla T, Jamie XX, and more, this hour+ long mix will definitely get you movin’. Can we please get them out to tour the US as soon as possible? Who’s with me?
