THE BUG
The Bug is Kevin Martin of Techno Animal, Ice, God and Curse of the Golden Vampire. His album Pressure (KL044) on Klein / Rephlex was described as "an exhilarating mutant ragga/dancehall/techno mash up."
Ever since his first outing, 'Seismic', in 2001, The Bug has amassed the support of such electronic heavyweights as Andy Weatherall, Adrian Sherwood, Kid 606 and Aphex Twin. Currently he's writing material for Sri Lankan rap renegade MIA and songs for Asian Dub Foundation's next album, the eclectic range of insect fusion is growing rapidly.
Other work includes a soundclash with Mark Stewart for an upcoming On-U-Sound compilation (incidently, Stewart is also reworking The Bug's 'WWW' rhythm for his forthcoming album), Martin's post punk roots have been further illuminated by Pil founder Keith Levene's guest spot on guitar with The Bug, and has suggested The Bug get further involved in future Levene projects.
