Assassin Bug is a DJ and producer known for raw, high-energy selections that span the full spectrum of bass music. Rooted in jungle, dubstep, grime, footwork, electro, and global club sounds, her sets are fast, percussive, and unpredictable—balancing razor-sharp precision with a deep love for chaos.

Originally from Dublin and now based in Tkaronto, Assassin Bug has played raves, festivals, and club nights across Ireland, Canada, the US, and beyond, sharing lineups with artists like Tim Reaper, Machinedrum, Conducta, Mantra, Bell Curve, and Hamdi. She runs Bean Sí, a rave series highlighting femme and queer artists, and has performed for collectives such as DOCD, Promise, On Road, Reconstructed Club, and Work That. Festival appearances include Bloom, Lumaterra, Nomada Project, and more.

Assassin Bug prioritizes platforming underrepresented voices across the dance music spectrum, drawing connections between underground club movements and their DIY roots. Whether in a dark warehouse or under an open sky, her sets are unpredictable, visceral, and built for those who want to go all in.
