The Bug - Catch A Fire

The Bug is known for making gritty "not to be fucked with" dub step tunes. Even as he slows things down to a syrupy (or sizzruppy) haze on the new track, there remains absolutely no general inclinations to fuck wit the Bug. In fact, the dubby crawl only makes things feel more intense and is further helped by the documentation of a dismal London housing project (definitely not to be fucked with). The dreamy (or druggy) feel to both song and video seem to reflect the submission of those looking to escape their neck of the woods that has been systematically and socially ignored into decay. Vocalist Niki Hotomi expresses her capitulation with "Let's clean this city with burning flames of fire". Enjoy?
