Press Release :
Not content with mugging the music world with the critically-acclaimed "London Zoo" album, The Bug returns with two tracks that have been smashing it on dubplate. Regularly played out by the likes of Kode9, Digital Mystikz and Skream, demand for a general release has grown to the point where it was unignorable.
You can probably guess what "Ganja" is an ode to, The Bug's bass assault and Roll Deep's Flowdan and Killa P in rapid fire lyrical mode combining to give off a skunky flavour of cannabis psychosis. "Flying," featuring Roots Manuva right hand man Ricky Ranking, is more laid back – a rinsed out, trippy, almost meditative piece.
The acclaim for "London Zoo" has been a victory for Kevin Martin's uncompromising musical stance. This 12" reminds us why.
