CD Giveaway: The Bug

Score 1 of 3 London Zoo CDs by The Bug - By Morgan, Jul 02, 08



In anticipation of Ninja Tunes recording artist The Bug's performance this Saturday at The Shelter, we've got three free 12-track promo copies of his latest CD called "London Zoo" to give away.

The Bug is the moniker of the current project of London-based producer Kevin Martin. Coming from a rock and noise background (in particular an industrial-ish band called GOD), Martin incorporates hardcore elements into the music of dancehall, grime and hip hop, although his more recent work has invited the classifications of dubtronica, broken techno, and dub-step.

Formed as a duo back in 1997 with DJ supasta DJ Vadim, The Bug hatched the first album in that year, "Taping the Conversation," conceived as an alternative soundtrack to the 1974 Francis Ford Coppola film, The Conversation. The Bug's second album, "Pressure" showcased the ambient side of the project, which has included collaborations with a number of MCs including Cutty Ranks, Flow Dan, Warrior Queen, and Ras B.

This 12-track promo of his latest release "London Zoo" features Ricky Ranking, Warrior Queen, Flow Dan, Killa P, and Roger Robinson. A great little intro into the dub-step sound that has been receiving wide-spread attention these days, "London Zoo" also showcases the noise and grime "onslaughts" The Bug is known for.

Presented by Sub-Culture, The Bug plays this Saturday at The Shelter as part of the London Zoo album tour. Support by Viceroy, Drunk Monk, Deville, dji, MC Didje, and MC ChaCha. Cover: 50rmb.

Want a copy of The Bug's new CD? Send us an email here with "London Zoo, Shanghai Zoo" as the title, along with your name, mobile number and address (in Chinese if you can, and please include cross street).
