10 x 4 – Kevin Martin

Kevin Martin is the man behind the mixing desk of King Midas Sound. He is also known as The Bug and has been integral to the projects Techno Animal and GOD. Perhaps the only person in the world to straddle the epicentres of noise music and dub reggae and yet have an appeal that reaches way beyond these often male dominated scenes. A true visionary who we had to send up the 10 x 4 despite ourselves
