The Bug (Live), OKO DJ, CGC DJ's

Strange Brew and Chewing Glass Collective’s Distortion Gospel event series link up to showcase The Bug’s latest musical offering: Machines. The Bug is the principal outlet for Kevin Martin, the shape-shifting producer with an unrivalled reputation for his punishing live shows and a heavyweight catalogue of projects/collaborations including Techno Animal, King Midas Sound, Razor X Productions, and a longstanding alliance with firebrand London MC Flowdan. This April 26th show will see The Bug performing a live set, based on the ‘Machines’ material, a collections of industrial dubs released last year on Relapse Records. ‘Machines’ marks The Bug’s heaviest exploration into industrial music to date, and it is not album that you want to hear - It’s one you want to FEEL; and on The Bug’s request, when ‘Machines’ is paired with the Firmly Rooted Sound System, you can have absolute faith that you will be consuming ‘Machines’ exactly as The Bug intended. Supporting duties are headed up by globe-trotting, genre-blending, dancefloor oracle: OKO DJ. Last time OKO hit strange brew she tore the place down with a mix of industrial techno, jacking riddims, and metallic chugs. “OKO DJ has been on CGC’s Distortion Gospel wantlist since day dot so we’re beyond honoured to have her perform a set with our metal-adjacent soundsystem assault in mind.” - CGC.
