Bugz In The Attic - A Profile
Multi membered masters of the beat and remixers par excellence, Bugz in the Attic’s sound and set-up nestles somewhere between Parliament, Soul II Soul and Basement Jaxx. A motley crew of musical misfits bearing individual skills that combine to form a collective musical ear that rarely strays from the dancefloor.The first incarnation gathered in ’97 and the group now boasts a label, BitaSweet Records, a studio, The BitaSuite, the BITA production company and 2004 saw the first longplayer release as Bugz in the Attic with ‘Got The Bug - The Bugz in the Attic Remixes Collection’ being released through V2 Music.
Their list of collaborators reads like a compendium of the great and the good of all quarters of dance music from which the Bugz unmistakable sound is drawn. The electric soul of 4Hero and Vikter Duplaix, the wigged out boogie of Macy Gray and Dwele and the funk of Amp Fiddler all combine beautifully in their audio recipe.
The Bugz maintain a very individual approach to their operation, and it is this that has helped push their sound forward and prevent them getting stuck in any musical rut or fashion. The likes of Seiji, Afronaut, Daz-I-Kue, Kaidi Tatham (AKA Agent K), Mark Force, BB Boogie and Neon Phusion have all recorded and carved reputations in their own right and on their own terms, but the Bugz crew have together upheld a reputation across Europe and the World which their sheer number and vision has helped to maintain. Long running club nights such as Co-Op at London’s Plastic People, regular DJ tours of Japan, USA, Asia, Australia, UK, Europe, the Fabriclive mix CD as well as their remixes have been the focus over the last couple of years, but the studio will take precedent with a view to releasing the Bugz in the Attic LP in late 2005.
