about

If you dig your dub deep, your bass brutal, the atmosphere dystopian and seek rig/body punishing riddims, you could investigate the 2nd volume of my relentlessly heavy, 'Machine' series of instrumentals. This is rhythm and noise. Veering from spacious exploration of the spaces between the concussive beats, to deploying monstrous walls of riff and triggering bodyshock tremors. The EP echoes/upgrades proto-deviant dub transmissions, by Techno Animal, Porter Ricks, and even, bizarrely Loop, in The Bug's obsessive quest to map a new form of futuristic dub.

The Bug - 'Machine 2', follows up Volume 1, in a regular series of Bug instrumental, 'Machine' singles, where were purposely built PRESSURE weapons for droppin at the PRESSURE parties and other live BUG dances. This ep was constructed for an appearance at the 'Lost' festival in Parma, Italy.

This will subsequently either drop as part of a series of ltd 12" singles or be collected as part of a vinyl LP, comprising of the finest cuts from the EPs, (Yet to be decided). For The Bug, the beauty of this is the unknowing, as i approach each single on a one by one basis. Only objective in mind. Level floors, test rigs and provide soul/body food.

I thank Fred, Zig for joining me in the madcap scheme to turn this round in time..
PS Gratitude to my neighbours for not calling the Police.

The perfect accompaniment to reading Shirley Jackson's short stories. A creeping unease....granular, twitchy, lengthening moans (or am I 'hearing' things?!?), mournful beauty. Utterly magnificent. jahrigsby

March 21 New Taipei City. After a long mixing day, I start discovering these sounds. Soothing, calming. In the middle of the album, 18:49, my computer screen oscillates, loudspeakers move slowly on their stands, a soft dizziness. Earthquake. Yannick DAUBY
