Ninja Tune XX - Week XV - The Bug
This week's Ninja Tune XX giveaway comes from one of the key artists of Ninja's recent history, and of electronic music as a whole. Kevin Martin has been making and performing music for a long time, and under various guises. Having released feverishly acclaimed albums through Aphex Twin's Rephlex imprint in the past, Ninja signed The Bug in 2007, to much excitement within the label. His debut Ninja full length, 'London Zoo', was everything we'd hoped it would be. Chiming with the formative dubstep movement that Martin had himself influenced, it drew together his mastery of electronica, dancehall and dub into a record that was as furious and fiery as it was infectious in its melody and bass.
'Catch A Fire' is a new track by The Bug and is on the Ninja Tune XX compilation. It shows a fascinating development of Kevin Martin's recent sound, alongside the trademark, irresistible production that's made his name. This track will also feature on a brand new EP, out later in the year.
Also included in the download package is dubstep kingpin Skream's remix of 'Poison Dart', one of the standout tracks from London Zoo.
Ninja Tune XX will also feature an Autechre remix of The Bug's 'Skeng,' another exclusive new track, 'Tune In (version)', and a Prefuse 73 remix of 'Poison Dart' exclusive to the box set. The Bug will be playing the Ninja Tune XX events at Ewer Street in London, as well as shows in Paris and Berlin.
In other news, the Ninja-Trainerspotter limited edition t-shirts are now up for grabs with a very special early bird price. Visit our shop for more info.
You can also now buy the paperback version of the 192 page XX book "Ninja Tune XX: 20 Years Of Beats And Pieces", written by Stevie Chick here. The hardback is reserved for the XX boxset.

Roots Manuva and Wrong Tom will be launching their Duppy Writer album with a live show in East London this Thursday night.
For those of you overseas or unable or unwilling to squeeze into the intimate setting of the Alibi, we are streaming the whole performance live on The Funhouse and inviting the whole world to watch.
We'll be shooting from several angles and hopefully making you feel like you are there in person. Except you'll be slightly less sweaty and you probably won't have to wrestle your way to your own fridge should you want a beer.
Who knows, if you log in to the chat room we may even be able to relay your rewind requests to the DJ!
Welcome, Ninja Tune’s latest signing, the one and only Eskmo. Brendan Angelides, a native of Connecticut now based in San Francisco, has been causing a considerable stir for the last few years, releasing music on labels including but not limited to Warp, Planet Mu and his own Ancestor imprint. Already tipped by many in the electronic music community to be a major presence for years to come, Eskmo shows exactly what the fuss is all about on his debut for his new home-label.
'Cloudlight' somehow manages to rope together the aesthetics of glitch, dubstep and r&b into the kind of song Marvin The Paranoid Android might have recorded if he were put on a course of anti-depressants, got laid by a washing machine and munched enough ecstasy tablets to explode a cat. Troubling, beautiful and strangely uplifting all at once, it states, simply and without the need for any of these words, that Angelides is a unique presence in electronic music. 'Come Back' develops the sound perhaps even further, a narcotisized Timberlake number or a disembodied ghost voice? It’s a question only the listener can answer, though Angelides injects real longing into his deadpan vocals. Remix duties are dealt with by Brainfeeder’s Lorn, who turns in a brutally pummeling remix.
'Cloudlight' download single is out now, with a self-titled album coming 4th October.
