( DJ MAG ) -Martin & Steve Lavers met a few years back, they clicked immediately and set about starting Audio Bug Records. A steady trickle of wickedly inventive breaks tunes is the result of their hook-up. The goofiness of Monkey Scratch, the alien skullduggery of Contact, the stoner mania of Dope Freak, their productions have just been getting better and stronger. --------------Their remixes have also been totally on the money. Their faithful version of Medcabs Dance, the ESG update went down a treat, and their takes on Deep Dish-Sacramento, Shut Up & Dances Reclaim The Streets, DK8-Murder Was The bass and Taishans Black Mamba Funk have added substance to many DJs boxes. ------------------------------------------------------------
