The BUG - London Zoo


The Bug, aka Kevin Martin, London's dark, deep and heavy dubstepraggapunk just released his new album "London Zoo" on Ninja Tune. After decades of making music his way, The Bug is back to torment our ears with 12 tracks of dubstep, grime, ragga, industrial and lots of Bass! - Heavy, deep, massive, dark, rough and infiltrating - going in the line of Stereotyp, Al Haca or Tolcha, and influenced by Jah Shaka, Adrian Sherwood, Lee Perry and Public Enemy. The Bug's sound is characterized by his noisy touch - very industrial, ambiental and bassheavy at the same time. Among former projects he was involved in are Techno Animal (industrial hip hop), Ice (experimental industrial hip hop) or Pressure (dubstep). An now The Bug is the result of all this. An urban creature from a big metropoli representing the sound of the underground.
Therefore, as a matter of fact, collaborations in "London Zoo" include other known faces from the scene, as
Warrior Queen, Ricky Ranking and Tippa Irie. By the way, the artwork was made by Fefe Talavera, who just appeared at Barcelonas Hipnotik as Lil' Monster and who previously worked together with Al Haca.
That's all together a very arty piece I would say! Check the Bug out, he's on tour currently.
