So, without further ado: Kevin Martin AKA The Bug announces the highly anticipated “London Zoo” album with the mighty single, “A... MORE

The Bug has a "Poison Dart" that he's aiming at future dub massives. The noise-dub producer recently signed to Ninja Tune for the release of his new album, due sometime next year. Ninja Tune must be pretty excited about The Bug's new music, because they just released a wicked video for his latest, "Poison Dart" featuring UK/Jamaican chatter Warrior Queen, and pressed two EPs for it, each with totally different remixes by UK dubsteppa Skream, Mad Decent electro-dancehall ...

There is an amazing interview with the musician known as The Bug over on the french DubStep website. Kevin Martin (The Bug) talks about everything - how he first got involved in music, his time spent working with Justin Broadrick (Napalm Death, Jesu) as Techno Animal, his brief stint with Warner Brothers, and a whole lot more that has led up to him being a brilliant pioneering musician that blends ragga, breakcore, dubstep, dancehall, electronica, and extreme noise into t...
