“While the rest of the world was busy subverting dubstep’s militaristic potential into a formulaic commodity, The Bug sounded fresh, distinctive, weird, warped, and wonderful.” – Redefine, 2014
JUE | Music + Art teams up with Sub-Culture to bring the noise on March 20th (BJ) and 21st (SH). The Bug is the main mutation of producer Kevin Martin, also known as King Midas Sound, Techno Animal/Ice/God (with Justin Broadrick of Godflesh/Jesu), Razor X Productions (with The Rootsman & various M.C’s), Pressure, Ladybug, the man behind Pathological Records, and a slew more. He’s provided bass-booming remixes for Grace Jones, Thom Yorke, Jon Spencer Blues Explosion, Primal Scream, Two Fingers, Beastie Boys, and has fans as diverse as Aphex Twin, Four Tet, Trent Reznor, Fuck Buttons and Death Grips.
With a discography spanning labels across the spectrum such as Ninja Tune, Virgin, Rephlex, Position Chrome/Mille Plateaux, Word Sound, Hyperdub, City Slang, Tigerbeat 6 and Grand Royal, this is definitely a show worth flapping on about to your friends. 2013’s Filthy EP marked the first rumblings of a new full-length record, which in mid-2014 manifested as The Bug’s Angels & Devils LP. For this album Kevin Martin has both enlisted the familiar and smashed open the idea of what “The Bug” is – it’s a year zero of sorts for The Bug, yet the release draws on what has been before. Indeed, The Bug is the only producer who can bring in the likes of Grouper, Copeland, Miss Red, Gonjasufi, Flowdan, Justin Broadrick (Godflesh/Jesu), Mala, Death Grips, and Warrior Queen and make it seamless.
Support: Manga
Manga (Saint Hilare) joined the UK’s legendary grime crew Roll Deep in 2004, and has been repping the sound of the underground since, appearing on silver selling debut album In At The Deep End & single ‘Wen I’m Ere” (2007). More recently he’s released his first official mixtape Obzokey Wranglings and just this year dished out new single “Zonin” ft. Jay Grrey & Nana Rogues.

About JUE | Music + Art:
觉 / JUE – to sense (as in: an assault on all 5 senses)
JUE | Music + Art was founded in 2009 to bring the creative communities of Shanghai & Beijing closer together. Every year since then, promoters Split Works have pooled their resources with those of their favorite friends from across the artistic spectrum to present a multi-venue, multi-disciplinary romp across the middle of March. If you want a snapshot of where China is creatively, you could do worse than spending a week at JUE | Music + Art.
“JUE sneaks into the city streets and lights the creative torch ablaze. The freshest international artist and locally rooted creative join forces to switch on the creative pulse of the cities. When JUE is happening, the whole city seems alive” – Jetty @ Sina Weibo Music
We look forward to welcoming you…

“当大家都忙着把Dubstep音乐从地下推向更主流大众化的方向，The Bug的作品却听上去那么新鲜、独特、怪异、扭曲、和精彩。” ——Redefine，2014
《觉》音乐+艺术节和Sub-Culture共同带来Ninja Tune旗下的Dubstep艺人The Bug，而他的老搭档Manga到时也将倾情助阵。The Bug实则是英国电子音乐制作人Kevin Martin的化名，除此之外，Kevin还拥有更多重身份，从与Godflesh的Justin Broadwick组成的Techno Animal，到与The Rootsman组成的Razor X Production，从Pressure到与日本歌手Kiki Hitomi和伦敦诗人Roger Robinson合作的King Midas Sound，更是Pathological Records背后的主理人。作为活跃在国际舞台的知名音乐制作人，他还曾应邀为Grace Jones、Thom Yorke、Jon Spencer Blues Explosion、Primal Scream、Two Fingers、Beastie Boys制作超强bass混音，而Aphex Twin, Four Tet, Trent Reznor, Fuck Buttons and Death Grips则是他的忠实粉丝。
Kevin的唱片目录横跨了各种各样的厂牌：Rephlex、Ninja Tune、Virgin、Hyperdub和Grand Royal等等。2014年8月他以The Bug名义发行的新专辑《Angels & Devils》，距离上张广受好评的《London Zoo》已相隔六年。新作邀请了不少客场乐手包括Death Grips、Gonja Sufi、Inga Copeland等参与制作。音乐风格跨越Trip-Hop、Dubstep、Hip-hop、Ambient以及Reggae等不同乐风，刚柔并济，轻重缓急，兼备火爆与韵味，凸显了Kevin Martin强烈的自我风格。
值得一提的是，Kevin的黄金搭档Manga（Saint Hilare）到时也将以嘉宾的身份和The Bug共同登台演出。Manga是英国传奇Grime团队Roll Deep的成员，在2007年的首张亦获白银销量的专辑《In At The Deep End》和单曲《Wen I’m Ere》中崭露头角。他最近发行了第一张官方混音带《Obzokey Wranglings》，并在今年出了与Jay Grrey 和 Nana Rogues合作的新单曲《Zonin》。
