Kevin Martin gained notoriety during the 1990s as part of Techno Animal, a group he founded together with ex-Napalm Death and Godflesh member Justin Broadrick. Exploring the stylistic boundaries of hip hop, industrial and electronica for almost a decade with Techno Animal, Martin started his solo project The Bug in 1997. The project hit its stride by 2003, with The Bug's debut album 'Pressure' appearing on Klein Records and Rephlex. Martin's noisy take on dubstep and ragga breaks - frequent collaborators include Warrior Queen and MC Flowdan - has since been signed to Coldcut's influential Ninja Tune label.
