Hot off the back of his rapturously received ‘Chroma’ EP which dropped late last year, London based artist/producer BEARCUBS has today announced a new 4 track EP ‘Underwaterfall’, due for release on 10th March via All Points.

Bearcubs is the immersive, electronic project of 25-year old Jack Ritchie. He’s been putting out material for the past 2 years, and has honed in on a distinctly unique blend of emotive electronic, future garage and lo-fi house music, which has seen him heavily championed across the radio airwaves, with ‘Chroma’ added to the BBC Radio 1 Introducing Playlist and getting spun by the likes of Annie Mac,Zane Lowe, Danny Howard and Monki. Further support has come from FADER, i-D, Noisey, Mixmag, Majestic Casual, The Line of Best Fit and more. The ‘Underwaterfall’ four-track collection showcases the diversity of Bearcubs’ sound, from melancholic, introspective gems to intelligent, club-ready cuts.

In tandem with the announcement, the title track premiered via Mistajam’s Power Down Playlist on BBC Radio 1 and FADER, who said “”Underwaterfall,” is a precise exercise in tension and release: one moment, it’s sparse melody, the next it’s an immersive swarm of synths and layered vocals”. Listen to the track in full below:

Having already performed at prestigious festivals such as Glastonbury, Bestival, Dimensions and Amsterdam Dance Event, Bearcubs is embarking on his debut headline UK and European tour this Spring, in partnership with tastemakers Majestic Casual.

Cementing their support, Majestic Casual are presenting the forthcoming run of live dates across the UK & Berlin, which sees Bearcubs headline the following dates:

20.03 – The Crofters Rights, Bristol
22.03 – Headrow House, Leeds
23.03 – The Garage (Attic Bar), Glasgow
24.03 – Mono, Brighton
