The Bug - London Zoo


So this is a menacing and sinister listen, composing of some dark experimental dancehall beats, confronting vocals and edgy music. It is veering away from the traditional approach to dancehall, which is filled with happy, pleasant vibes from Jamaica, basking in sunshine and relishing in the good life. London Zoo is a trip down the dark side of dancehall. The track that Kevin Martin aka The Bug delivers the finest is ''Poison Dart'' which is hard hitting and uncompromising. The Bug is a project by British musician Kevin Martin who has been active in the music scene for two decades. He cites the DIY aesthetic of artists like dub musician King Tubby as being an enduring influence on his work, which definitely has a very original end result.
