Special Guests
The BUG &
Warrior Queen
(Ninja Tune, Reflex, Soul Jazz, Hyperdub)
The BUG is the current state of mutation for rogue producer Kevin
Martin, and his projects current association with Dubstep is just a
small detail in the greater lineage of his career, as his sound
defies easy categorization and has been increasing in mass and
imagination with each and every new decibel pumped recording.
The Bug first came to be in 1997, when Kevin collaborated with DJ
Vadim on ‘Tapping The Conversation.’ From 2001-2004 The
Bug teamed up with UK dub veteran The Rootsman for a series of
singles under the name Razor X Productions. The early productions
of which would frame the template for the first proper Bug full
length, 2003’s ‘Pressure’. The Razor X material
was some of Kevin’s first foray’s into what would
become a signature head-sheering apocalyptic dancehall production
style. This was continued on ‘Pressure’ but also with
an ear to balancing out the sound with headier dubs. Classic
dancehall M.C Daddy Freddy was brought in, New Flesh’s
Toastie Taylor, along with The Rootsman, Roger Robinson, Paul St.
Hilaire (aka Tikiman), Wayne Lonesome, and more…
Steve Goodman, aka. Kode 9, interviewed the Bug for xlr8r a few
years back and found they had many common interests with a new crop
of producers in London that he was hanging out with that were
revolving around the Fwd Club at Plastic People. Discovering that
these people shared the same hunger for bass, space, and unaligned
sonic trajectories, The Bug felt right at home alongside Loefah,
Digital Mystikz, Skream, etc… Through his work with Wayne
Lonesome, Kevin was turned on to the work of Warrior Queen.
Instantly blown away by her delivery he made contact and the
ensuing releases ‘Aktion Pak’ (Rephlex) and
‘Money Honey’ (under the moniker ‘Pressure’
which was released on Kode 9’s Hyperdub label) further shaped
the musical direction of The Bug. The final piece of the new
incarnation of The Bug came about when Kevin was booked for a Mary
Anne Hobbs session of BBC Radio 1’s Breezeblock.
Martin has produced with many and under a slew of aliases such as
Techno Animal/Ice/God (with Justin Broadrick of Godflesh/Jesu),
King Midas Sound, Razor X Productions (with The Rootsman &
various M.C’s), Pressure, Ladybug, the man behind
Pathological Records, compiler of various compilations for Virgin
Records (Macro Dub Infection, Jazz Satellites), production
work/collaborations with noise-jazz outfit 16-17, Pete “Sonic
Boom” Kemper’s E.A.R projects, John Zorn, Kevin Shields
(My Bloody Valentine), El-P, and Anti Pop Consortium, to name just
a few. Bass booming remixes for Jon Spencer Blues Explosion, Primal
Scream, Einsturzende Neubauten, Stina Nordenstam, Dalek, etc. A
discography spanning labels as diverse as Ninja Tune, Virgin,
Rephlex, Position Chrome/Mille Plateaux, Word Sound, Hyperdub, City
Slang, Tigerbeat 6, Grand Royal… all of which shouts loud
that Kevin Martin is a credible sonic survivalist and not some come
lately producer.
All these connections became the starting point for ‘London
Zoo’, the Bug’s latest album on Ninja Tune. Utilizing
the aforementioned vocalists, along with UK reggae legend Tippa
Irie, it’s a record grown out of the heart of London
sound-system culture and multi-cultural meltdown. A record that
although will be undoubtedly referenced to the dubstep scene will
also redefine and stand on its own as a celebration of the capitals
urban cultural clash, uniquely detonating dancehall, grime,
hip-hop, and noise onslaughts. If any further proof is needed look
no further then the reaction to the first three records lifted from
London Zoo… ‘Jah War’, ‘Skeng’
(released on Kode 9’s Hyperdub), and ‘
Poison Dart’. This will be a show not to be missed!
Maga Bo
(Soot Records, Rio De Janeiro)
is a DJ/producer working with an international collision of styles,
sounds, location recordings from all continents and beats that have
yet to be classified. A study in the digital contortions of hip
hop, ragga, breakbeat and jungle drum n bass, his sound is a divine
mashup of batucada, rai, capoeira, bhangra, and skewed electronic
beats in a borderless conundrum of gritty street sounds, found and
modified rhythms and melodies from Brazil, Morocco, Senegal, India
and beyond. DJing and producing tracks with a portable laptop
studio, he has worked and performed in Africa, Asia, Europe, and
North and South America. Having released music on Tru-Thoughts,
WordSound, AudioPharm and MELT 2000, he has collaborated with Dr.
Das (ex-Asian Dub Foundation), Filastine, Bass Nectar, JahDan
Blakkamore, Dub Gabriel and Ghislain Poirier. His new album,
"Archipelagoes," is now available on Soot Records.

Daneekah
(Cooyhah!, Miss Trees Hi-Fi
)
Of Australian origin, Daneekah's dj career began in Melbourne,
Australia in summer of 2003. Alongside fellow San Francisco dj
Stepwise, AKA Andres Octavio, she began tag-teaming at various
reggae and dancehall nights. This immediately led to other gigs,
and was soon followed by 2 other weekly residencies in a country
where reggae and dancehall audiences were small but quickly
growing, in true underground style. Daneekah went on to perform
numerous times with well known Melbourne crews Chantdown Sound and
Ghetto Fabulous, whilst also appearing on Melbourne radio shows RRR
and PBS. In early 2004, she released her first mixtape, entitled
"Dancehall Queens". This reggae and dancehall mix was 100% female
artists, a refreshing change to a genre almost entirely dominated
by men. March 2006 saw the release of another mixtape, "Dancehall
101", a mix of old and new dancehall mashed with hip hop riddims.
This mix is available for free download at
www.mk2systems.com, After travelling to Jamaica in 2006, Daneekah started her
collection of dubplates for her soundsystem, Miss Trees Hi-Fi.
Although a big fan of the roots and culture, Daneekah consistently
delivers the best of old to the new dancehall. Daneekah can be
found every Wednesday at her ever expanding weekly event, "Coo-Yah"
at Brunos, San Francisco, performing alongside names such as
Norrisman, Al Pancho, Rocker-T, Khari Kill, Million Stylez and
I-Sasha. She has also opened for the likes of Israel Vibration,
Pato Banton, Junior Reid, Delly Ranx, Mad Professor and Dezarie.
Her current focus is making remixes, collaborating with other
female dj's and emcees and networking nationwide to help spread the
positive musical message. Big tings a gwaan....
