The Bug - new Razor X album just out + live shows
November 16, 2005
The Bug releases a compilation of his most incendiary, uncompromising productions via Rephlex in Jan 2006. Entitled 'Killing Sound', it gathers together the most brutally intense bashment explosions detonated by The Bug thus far, and previously released on The Bug/Rootsman run Razor X 7" label.
Featuring Cutty Ranks, Daddy Freddy, Wayne Lonesome, Tony Tuff etc, the album contains all the previous Razor X singles plus previously unreleased mash ups, including a seriously blitzed version of the now legendary 'Killer' featuring Warrior Queen(Re-titled 'Killer Queen'). Under the guise Razor X Productions, 'Killing Sound' amplifies The Bug's burial sound at it's most raw.
The Bug have been rocking the most earth shuddering ragga show this side of the sun. Anyone who caught the Glasto & Glade sets know what we're talking about. Live and direct - they just get better & better.
With loads of press about to drop for the Razor X album and a Radio 1 Breezeblock show lined up for Feb along with plenty of live shows around Europe, dont miss your chance to have a Bug Party!
We are now taking bookings for The Bug live + MCs Ras B & Warrior Queen.

New Ladybug 7" label - direct from The Bug
September 16, 2005
Following on from his critically acclaimed and rapid-selling Raxor X outlet, The Bug launches a brand new 7-inch label with a bass-heavy bang, easing off the abrasive grit that characterised the Razor X sonic punk dancehall attack, and placing greater emphasis on the waist-winding low-end soundsystem jump, hooked up to lyrics provided by female emcees, deejays and vocalists. Collaborating on this first shot with long time sidekick Warrior Queen, who's reputation has been built 'pon triple XXX lyrics and gun verses, the motormouthed Jamaican MC saves arguably her finest performance for this conscious protest at the London bomb attacks, dropping venomous lines summing up life in the capital under the reign of suicide bombers and terror tactics on both sides. The unstoppable fury of her lyrics, welded to the thunderous bounce and thud of The Bug?s ultra-dancehall production, makes 'Dem A Bomb We' an essential selection for all riddim accicts. For the flipside version, The Bug runs riot inna Razor X style, mashing up Naom Chomsky, George W Bush, B-52 bombers, blitzkreig sirens and a homicidal bassline pushed to bassbin blowing proportions. This single has just been leaked to selected underground selectors such as DJ / Rupture, Ghislain Poirier, and Kode 9, all of whom are spinning this brilliantly intense 'Diwali' style, low end monster. 1000 copies only and they?re going to go fast.
