I recently had a short documentary film made about me as part of the Stolen Moments series over at Spine Television – Check it out to hear me talking about some of my influences, playing keys and messing around with a beat!
Here is a remix I did of Michael Jackson’s “You Rock My World” which I uploaded to commemorate the one year anniversary since the passing of the King of Pop – The track can be downloaded for FREE from the BUG Soundcloud Profile and Jus Like Music blog post.
I entered a mix for the BBE Mixtape Competition 2010. It’s formed entirely of tracks from the BBE Catalogue and I tried to incorporate my favourite original BBE material and avoid tracks from other BBE mixes or compilations. The winning mix will get a release on BBE Records which is definitely a good look – You can listen to my contribution HERE and please feel free to show your support through comments, favourites and Facebook ‘likes’ on the Mixcloud page!

Following on from my Soular Powered Mix 01, I’ve provided this week’s Monday Jazz Mix #142 (Soular Powered Mix 02). In the words of the renowned Mondayjazz website, “another approach to modern urban music, this time it is filtered through a soulful prism and presents the vibe cultivated by BUG – a young, London based producer, keyboard player, remixer and songwriter. This version is extremely soulful, increasingly vocal and cool in a warm way. At the moments it seems like R.Kelly made colaboration with J Dilla, or Portishead finally saw the light at the end of the tunnel, or Stevie Wonder decided to make Beats.”
