The Bug @ Dubpressure, Cabaret Voltaire, 24 Aug
Dubstep has been infecting the UK and beyond at an alarming rate, and if you don’t have the virus yet, one foot into Dubpressure's monster festival showdown, with headliner The Bug (Ninja Tune) will ensnare you for good
This bank holiday sees Dubpressure joining forces with the Electric Eliminators, who've been responsible for some of the west coast's best nights of late. This two-headed monster will be presenting twisted concotions of bass burps, wonky hip hop, jungle and grime 'til 5am.
Noisemaker and producer Kevin ‘The Bug’ Martin will be playing out in support of his hotly anticipated London Zoo. Featuring the stylings of everyone from Warrior Queen to Tippa Iriem, it's a physically and mentally exhaustive trip. The cuts already released, Jah War, Poison Dart, and Skeng, have been blowing up clubfloors for months now. FlowDan will also be live and direct driving the message home: "Beats, Bombs, Bass, Weapons, Congestion, Space, Concussion and Seduction."
Repping the main room will be Unlikley (Clandestine Cultivations/Rinse FM), backed up by locals Sleepless Crew and Gravious, and with the soundsystem of "Scotlands best club", this should be a night to remember. [Ema Johnson]
