Album Description:
London Zoo was born of three key moments. An introduction to the thriving Dub-Step scene (of which The Bug is very much a pioneer before it carried a name) and it's key producers (via Kode 9) where Kevin realized there was others on the same sonic trajectory as himself, an introduction to Warrior Queen via his work with Wayne Lonesome on the Razor X Productions project, and a Mary Anne Hobb's Breezeblock session which introduced him to Flowdan (Roll Deep), and Ricky Ranking. All three of which figure heavily in the end result and live presentation. The Bug is the main project for Kevin Martin, a producer who over the years has also been behind a diverse range of projects. He is part of Techno Animal / Ice / God (all with Justin Broadrick of Godflesh / Jesu), King Midas Sound, Razor X Productions (with The Rootsman), Pressure and Ladybug.

The Bug's first release on the Wordsound label was well wicked. He made an alternative score to the movie the Conversation. No wonder he went with the name the Bug. That movie is F$%^ked Up! London Zoo drops us right in the middle of the dubstep scene. This album sounds best in a cloud of smoke. The track that will twist your noodle is Poison Dart feat. the Warrior Queen. The Bug and Warrior Queen need to do a full-length project. Their chemistry is aggressive, yet very calming. Don't Sleeeeeep!
