It's this amazing Reggae band.
From Wikipedia:
The Bug is the main current music project of London-based producer Kevin Martin (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kevin_Martin_%28English_musician%29). The Bug's music draws influence from dancehall (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dancehall), noise (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noise_music), grime (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grime_%28music%29), and hip hop (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hip_hop_music). More subtle influences include dubstep (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dubstep) and the dubtronica (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dubtronica) and broken techno (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Techno) of Basic Channel (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basic_Channel) and Pole (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pole_%28musician%29).

The Bug's first album (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Album) Tapping The Conversation was released in 1997 on the seminal Wordsound label. The album was conceived as an alternative soundtrack to the 1974 Francis Ford Coppola (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Francis_Ford_Coppola) film The Conversation (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Conversation). In this incarnation The Bug consisted of Kevin Martin and DJ Vadim (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DJ_Vadim).
From 2001-2004 The Bug collaborated with UK reggae soundsystem veteran The Rootsman on a number of limited edition 7" singles, released on the Razor X label. These releases were characterised by their harsh, aggressive nature both musically and vocally (vocal artists including Jamaican MCs such as He-Man and Wayne Lonesome).
The Bug's second album, Pressure was released on Rephlex Records (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rephlex_Records) in 2003. It included a number of more ambient, dub (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dub_music)-influenced tracks alongside the ragga (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ragga)-tinged onslaughts.
The Razor X singles were compiled on the Killing Sound album (along with newer material) which was released by Rephlex in 2006 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2006).
Bug projects have included collaborations with a number of singers and MCs including Cutty Ranks (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cutty_Ranks), Flow Dan (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roll_Deep), Warrior Queen and Ras B. In 2005 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2005) he collaborated with Mark Stewart (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Stewart_%28musician%29) and Keith Levene (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keith_Levene) and has released records on Rephlex, Tigerbeat6 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tigerbeat6) and Klien Records.
