DubPressure: The Bug, Concorde 2, Brighton, April 11
1:39pm Friday 11th April 2008
Originally a collaborative project with DJ Vadim, The Bug became a solo venture for low-end master Kevin Martin in 2001.
He unleashed the mighty Poison Dart single in December, which saw him link up with fearsome Jamaican MC Warrior Queen.
His bass-heavy, dancehall-inflected tracks have found favour on the dubstep scene and he runs the Bash night in London with Loefah from pivotal dubstep label DMZ.
After recording in the past for Planet Mu, Soul Jazz and Fat Cat, his new London Zoo album will be released on Ninja Tune in the summer.
Kevin has launched his own Lady Bug label to showcase female vocalists and MCs, and recently remixed a Thom Yorke track at the Radiohead singer's request. Massive Attack and Andy Weatherall are also fans.
He has been responsible for a string of cult leftfield projects over the years, including Techno Animal and Ice, and compiled the seminal Macro Dub Infection and Isolationism albums.
