Bear Beat – “Ascension”

Bear Beat’s album, “Ascension”, was released on August 1, 2025. The 13-track release reflects the focus and intent of someone who’s spent the past year fully immersed in crafting a signature sound, blending ambient, haunting synth layers with the pulse of atmospheric house, techno, and splashes of psytrance and drum and bass. Trust me, this is the album you need to add to your playlist this summer.

The standout tracks “Aminata” and “Camaro” hinted at the scale of his ambitions, and the full album delivers on that promise. There’s a sense of range here without it feeling scattered, and the influences from The Prodigy’s raw energy to Solomun’s deep, enveloping grooves are worn proudly but reinterpreted with Bear Beat’s own touch. His music’s recent spotlight on BBC Introducing and Amazing Radio, plus a BBC session earlier this year, shows the kind of attention this project is drawing.

With Ascension marking the start of a planned three-year run of new music, and live performances on the horizon, now’s the time to get on board. Follow Bear Beat on social media to stay updated on everything coming in the rest of 2025.
