OUT NOW: BUG – Cosmic Lab / 20 Winks
24 year-old Londoner, BUG, is a keyboard player, songwriter and producer. Under the moniker, BUG, he creates an experimental, instrumentally grounded style of music with a compositional approach. The BUG sound encompasses the finer elements of hip-hop and neo-soul, yet the real beauty is in the delivery. Think the smooth richness of the Dam-Funk vibe, the solid construction of a Dilla beat, the electronic wizardry of Flying Lotus and the soulful melodies of Lonnie Liston Smith‘s jazz.
The debut single from BUG, Cosmic Lab b/w 20 Winks, is out right now via the newly formed Jus Like Music Records, and it’s absolutely FREE!

“The BUG sound takes you on a trip to the far reaches of space in your own personal pod to vibe out and drift for a while. Very nice and downtempo for when you wanna get away for a while, but keep heads nodding” – Ohmega Watts (Lightheaded / Ubiquity)
