& WARRIOR QUEEN MC
Thursday 29th Jan @ The Garden Club

Wellington reggae and dubstep massive unite at The Garden Bar on Thursday 29 January 2009, when acclaimed producer and selector, The Bug (UK), alongside the legendary first lady of the dance, Warrior Queen (UK) hit the Capital for a night of deep and heavy riddims and pure vibes!

As prolific as he is diverse, Kevin Martin, AKA The Bug, has been a pioneering force behind the UK dubstep scene. He has been part of groups such as Techno Animal, Ice and God with longtime associate Justin Broadrick (ex-Napalm Death), has collaborated with UK sound-system veterans,The Rootsman, Wayne Lonesome, Flowdan, Ricky Ranking and Tippa Irie, Kode 9, El-P, Kevin Shields, Anti-pop Consortium and has remixed artists such as Thom Yorke, Grace Jones and Primal Scream.

The Bug runs his own Pathological Records imprint, while also recording for labels ranging from Ninja Tune, Rephlex, Tigerbeat6, Soul Jazz and Klein.

His latest album, London Zoo, reaches past narrow categorisation and brings together influences from dancehall, grime, ragga, dubstep and hip-hop and creates a sound that could only have come out of London sound-system culture, but whose appeal spans past any singular city or scene.

Alongside Warrior Queen - originally from Jamaica, this dancehall diva is now based in the UK and over the years has worked with top artists and labels including Penthouse, Philip 'Fattis' Burrel, Steelie and Cleevie, Flabba Holt, Roots Radics, DJ Zinc and Casual Records. With her tough lyrical styling and fresh from her hit single, Poison Dart, Warrior Queen brings real heat to the session each and every time!
