London based artist/producer Bearcubs has today shared a progressive new cut from his album; the sublime ‘Landslide‘, providing another glimpse into his forthcoming full-length effort. His debut LP ‘Ultraviolet‘ will be released on 2nd March and features previous single ‘Do You Feel‘.
Bearcubs is the immersive solo project from 26 year old electronic artist Jack Ritchie. Over the past 3 years, Bearcubs has honed in on a distinctly unique blend of emotive electronic music, future garage and lofi house music in his meticulously crafted productions.

His tracks have reached #1 on Hype Machine‘s Popular Tracks Chart no less than 6 times, and his Spotify streaming numbers are in excess of 12 million.
Building upon his impressive live resumé, after appearances at Glastonbury, Bestival, Amsterdam Dance Event, Dimensions and Blissfields, plus support for artists such as Tom Misch, Shlohmo and Tourist, Bearcubs will be touring the US and Europe in support of his album release this March.
