Ninja Tune

Ninja Tune is an independent record label based in London, England. Established in 1990 by the duo known as Coldcut, Ninja Tune was created as a platform to release underground music free from the constraints of major labels. Inspired by a visit to Japan, Coldcut sought to pioneer the emerging hip-hop/electro scene of the eighties.

The label's success can be attributed to its constantly growing roster of diverse artists and their innovative approach to music and multimedia. With the combined expertise of Black and More, along with the graphic vision of Openmind and sound business practices, Ninja Tune has become known for producing quality music while providing unparalleled support to its artists.

Notable releases include DJ Food's 'Jazz Brakes' series, which showcased instrumental hip-hop cuts produced by Coldcut. Through their dedication to musical excellence and artist empowerment, Ninja Tune has solidified its position as a leading force in the independent music industry.

Electronic music producer from London, UK, The Bug, is known for his unique sound influenced by grime, hiphop, ragga, dubstep and dub techno. With a career spanning over two decades, he has become a prominent figure in the electronic music scene. His innovative approach to production has earned him a dedicated fan base and critical acclaim.

Influenced by artists such as Kode9, Pinch, Zomby and Benga among others, The Bug has carved out his own distinct style that pushes boundaries and challenges traditional genre classifications. His collaborations with renowned performers like Flowdan and Om Unit have resulted in groundbreaking tracks that showcase his versatility as an artist.

With releases on notable labels including Ninja Tune and Hyperdub, The Bug continues to push the boundaries of electronic music. Whether it's his dark and brooding compositions or energetic live performances, he never fails to captivate audiences worldwide. For fans of experimental electronic music, The Bug is an artist not to be missed.

Havin' crossed paths many times over the years, in clubs and at festivals, and mutually admired each other's destructive potential in the dance, D Double E, and The Bug had spoken for time, about a killer collab, and 'Box' is truly that. Written specifically for Double, by the Bugman, to amplify the mc's warp factor flow, the producer propels his trademark weight with an off kilter swing. Result is an unusually catchy dancefloor banger, that heads resolutely back to the club, after the moody narrative detours of 'Angels and Devils'.Meanwhile, 'Iceman' has already been heralded as the new "Skeng", by the many djs who have already dropped it on dubplate. From Mala, to Mary Ann Hobbs, via Rodigan, Logan Sama and Kode 9, its already left massive floor craters prior to release. Its the sound of yardie badman Riko gettin low down and dirty on a seriously nasty Bug riddim. A monster. Having finally hooked up with two of the most singular voices in grime, this EP marks the beginning of more lethal collabs to follow, with the finest filthmasters, the UK has to offer on the mic. 'Box / Iceman' signifies The Bug's intent to indelibly mash up the dance again and again.
