Working under the name Bearcubs, Jack Ritchie records diaristic electronica, blending crisp breakbeats and celestial synths with introspective vocals that lift poignance from the mundanities of everyday existence.
Ritchie is one of a number of contemporary artists mining the UK’s rich musical history for nostalgic touchstones; breaks, stabs and wavering synth pads that recall ‘90s rave and UK garage. What sets his music apart, though, is the way he pairs these hallmarks with modern production techniques and a personal perspective exposed through his observational lyricism.
