The Bear Pit

A 2 track funk single (6m 9s) — released December 8th 2017 on Bombstrikes

Boca 45 (Scott Hendy) immersed himself in all things Hip Hop from a young age and has been unleashing productions upon the world for the last 20 years under his various guises. Kicking things off as part of Bristol's now legendary Purple Penguin he then went on to form Dynamo Productions with Portishead's acclaimed resident Dj, Andy Smith. The duo found a new place musically, fusing the best elements of Hip Hop, Funk and Beats and it was no surprise when they picked up a residency at Fabric Live and found themselves taking their new sound across the globe. Hot on the heels of Dynamo Productions' great success, the debut Boca 45 Lp was delivered for Manchester's Grand Central Records to huge acclaim. Collaboration has always been an important part of Boca's DNA and along the way further collaborative projects continued to develop: "The BeeKeepers" (with Parker), "BocaWoody" (with 2 time world champion DJ Woody), "Malachai" (with singer Gee) on Domino Records - which was named Zane Lowes hottest record of the week! Its been quite a journey.

In support of the recently released compilation album Boca45: Bombs From The Vaults, Bombstrikes release this very limited run 7". On the A side 'Bear Pit' (named after an under pass in Scott's native Bristol where men would actually fight with Bears as a form of entertainment!) is delivered alongside the always on point Mohawkestra! Whilst the AA side sees Boca 45 join forces with The Heavy's vocalist Kelvin Swaby to great effect. An essential purchase.
