»Q&A: Bugz In The Attic
July 10 2003

 

Bugz in the Attic comprises of a group of individuals who each bring a certain uniqueness to the group. Their main goal is to create and promote quality, contemporary soulful music.

Our Singapore partner,
Frontallabs.com, speaks to broken beat gurus Bugz in the Attic about their gig at Zoukout this year, soulful music and remixing for ageing teeny bopper, Britney Spears.

Define a typical Bugz in the attic record?

Just good soulful music.

 

How do you guys come together to put together a track?
It usually comes together quite organically with different beats being tried out and gradually it’ll take shape adding the music, vocals, etc….sometimes the process will take days, sometimes months, sometimes years………….

 

Can we expect a lot of broken beats stuff when you are playing at Zoukout?

Yes, we always represent what we, and our contemporaries, are doing alongside all the other stuff that we’re feeling.

 

How is broken beats like compared to the other Genre of music, any major difference?
It’s a form of music that’s a sum of all the individual’s influences, this being all good dance music over the past 30 years (not including trance music). The term ‘broken beat’ doesn’t define all the music that’s produced by Bugz or their contemporaries though.


What kind of reaction would you expect from the crowd?
There’s a special co-op dance that we’d expect the zoukout crowd to learn in advance of our appearance.

 

Any further projects in the future with other artists?
There’s many projects constantly ongoing…..later in the year there’s an album coming out under the name DKD, which involves Daz-I-Kue (Bugz), Kaidi Tatham (Bugz) and Dego (4hero). And keep an ear to the floor for albania’s premier broken beat artist ‘TheTruth’.

 

Would any of you guys remix a Britney Spears record?
If it was a good song, then yes.

 

What is Soulful music to you guys?

That’s not a question that can be answered quickly.

 

Any last words to the people who would be checking you guys out?

Enjoy yourselves and be broken….but do it safely and with your parents’ permission!!!!
