Excellent Interview With The Bug, Kevin Martin!

July 13th, 2007 · by Molli Fire

Fans of extreme music, experimental electronica, ragga and grime - I have a fantastic treat for you! There is an excellent interview with 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 totally original music. You can read the interview in english or french! Thanks to Kid Kameleon and Riddim Method for the heads up!

The Bug just released “Jah War” featuring Flowdan on Ninja Tune Records. This tune is a superb example of grime meets ragga, similar to “Brooklyn Anthem” by Team Shadetek. BIG BIG CHOONS!
