mysterious lords of the dusty top floor studio, multi membered
masters of the beat and remixers par excellence, bugz in the attic
are finally set to release a retrospective of their finest
productions to date. with a collective musical ear that has never
strayed from the dancefloor but equally stands loyal to the
intricate genius of the original protagonists, their combined
studio nouse and lifetimes of devotion to the music that turns them
on have created an album which will help springboard them toward
2004 and the eagerly awaited release of their debut studio album.
orin 'afronaught' walters, paul 'seiji' dolby, kaidi tatham,
daz-i-kue, alex phountzi, cliff scott, mark force, matt lord and
mikey stirton make up the crew of individual talent but also a
common view of, and love for, dance music. the group boats a label,
bitasweet records, a studio, the bitasuite, and the bugz production
company, and now their first longplayer release.
the list of collaborators reads like a compendium of a great and
the good of all quarters of dance music from which the bugz
unmistakably sound is drawn. the electric soul of 4hero and vikter
duplaix, the wigged out boogie of macy gray and dwele and the funk
of amp fiddler all combine beautifully in their audio recipe, and
their influences can be found combined in the bugz own blistering
new track 'booty (la la)'.
the bugz maintain a very individual approach to their operation,
and it is this that has helped push their sound forward and prevent
them getting stuck in any musical rut or fashion. the likes of
seiji, afronaught, kaidi tatham, mark force and bb boogie have all
carved reputations in their own right and on their own terms, but
the bugz crew have together upheld a reputation across europe and
the world which their sheer number and vision has helped to
maintain. regular and long running club nights such as co-op at
london's plastic people, and a fabric live mix cd have been the
focus of their activities of late, but along with the exclusive
production of 'booty (la la)' on this album, the return to the
studio will now take precedent.
the bugz will be taking their new tracks to the nation's
dancefloors throughout the winter, ranging from pa performances to
a live set up for 2005. these promise to be something truly
special, drawing on a amassed talent and experience of the crew to
conjure up a truly dynamic show.
