The Kills might look like a scuzzy rocker pair, with guitarist Jamie Hince’s model-datng ways and singer Alison Mosshart’s she-Jagger stage swagger, but the pair have always played with drum machines as much as fuzz pedals. UK techno-dub titan The Bug is known for creating some fuzz of his own, plus the mossiest beats this side of middle earth. Check out what happens when the two collide on this track from the duo’s fourth album, Blood Pressure.

Walking down empty streets usually signifies the end of a night for someone, the wind hitting his face, footsteps creepily getting louder and storefronts dimmed. Drunks, gluttons and heathens are all around, as things keep winding down as time passes. The only soundtrack to fuel the night’s depth of darkness is the sounds of King Midas Sound, the dub-child of Kevin Martin (aka The Bug), Roger Robinson and Hitomi. The trio’s tracks inhabit cinematic landscapes, which are unearthed by rhymes, alternately power and soft. Their Hyperdub full-length, Waiting For You, was just released with notable reception, and it comes as no surprise, considering the gears that made the wheels turn. We took time out with one of those gears, Kevin Martin, to speak about the process of songwriting, views on “reviving trip-hop” and much more.
