The Bug

DancehallAmbientGrime

Kevin Martin's work as the Bug synthesizes and detonates styles including dancehall, ambient, and grime. Beginning with Tapping the Conversation (1997), the Bug became a primary outlet for Martin, known for albums like Pressure (2003), London Zoo (2008), and Angels & Devils (2014). Later works include Concrete Desert (2017) with Earth, In Blue (2020) with Dis Fig, and Fire (2021). The entirely solo and instrumental Machine arrived in 2024.
