Hospital Records: Top Tunes

Today we would like to present tunes from a label, which has contributed to the developement of drum'n'bass music on an equal level as other legendary labels, such as Goldie's Metalheadz or Good Looking Records ran by LTJ Bukem - Hospital Records.

 

Label, whose best times are the relict of the past now unfortunately, releasing today  euro-pop shite (look at Netsky's tunes or High Contrast's latest LP) aimed at commercial profit.

That is why we have chosen (as a subjective selection) Hospital's finest tracks below. The order which they appear is strictly random:

London Elekttricity - Cum Dancing [Hospital Records, NHS46]

High Contrast - The Basement Track [Hospital Records, NHS60]

Logistics - Beatbox Master [Hospital Records, NHS112]

Danny Byrd - Shock Out [Hospital Records, NHS132]

Cyantific - Little Green Man [Hospital Records, NHS71]

Q Project - Living With Beaker (total science remix) [Hospital Records, NHS110]

LTJ Bukem: Retrospective Mix

One of the DJs/producers thanks to whom we've got Hospital, Spearheads Records and other soulful imprints.

If it wasn't Bukem and his Good Looking/Looking Good label established at the beginning of the 90s, there would be no amtospheric jungle or liquid drum'n'bass.

Today premiere on Beatport ---> wicked journey to the golden years of the last decade, in a softer style of jungle/drun'n'bass.

For those unaware: learn from The Master!

Way Of The Warrior 2 [Shogun Audio, SHACD008] - a new compilation released by Shogun Audio imprint, led by DJ Friction. This set offers tracks by producers from Friction's stable as well as special appearences from the old headz such as Total Science nad DLR.

It's a compilation suitable for everyone; from technical cuts by Optiv & BTK or Icicle, through quasi-jungle already mentioned Total Science to soul rollers served by Spectrasoul and Technimatic.

Beats as sharp as samurai's katana - perfect for the forthcoming cold days and nights.

Found on an old compilation Lekcja Rytmiki Czyli Załamanie Nerwowe Perkusji released 15 years ago by non-existing now Polish magazine MACHINA.

RINSE Out! Selecta!

  There has been dubstep once, there has been also uk garage... There has been grime and there has been house too.
What would happen if we cooked all the above ingredients up? UK Bass Music - a genre promoted by, among the others, radio station/label Rinse.

  Rinse originated from the pioneering 90s when pirate radio stations were rulling not only London but the whole UK.
These are also the times when such a labels as Metalheadz, RAM or True Playaz raised in a fledgling jungle/drum'n'bass scene.

As you probably noticed we live in a constant evolution so it is not a suprise that breakbeats have been evolving too. So, as a result, the beginning of 21st century brought to light new, slower sounds, later known as garage nad dubstep.

This is also the period of birth of the new generation of DJs/producers who have been releasing their crazy ideas via Rinse.
Pioneers of dubstep Benga, Skream or Kode 9 started their career here. Also grime stars Dizzee Rascal and Wiley began their musical journey at Rinse.

Rinse ialso gave birth to Katy B - vocalist who will suprise us more than once in the future.
Discovered by DJ Zinc (featured on his two EPs) Katy B showed her vocal talent on a debut LP Katy On A Mission [Rinse, 88697850722] released by Rinse in 2010.

  Rinse today (both as a radio station - most of the producers run their shows, and as a record label) gathers various artist such as, already mentioned DJ Zinc - paving the way of crack house, as well as rising stars of house/dubstep: Fomao and Royal-T.

    

Royal-T - Inside The Ride [Rinse, RINSECD 027D]

                                           

SO, if you don't know what to do in the autumn evenings, get the hot drink, switch on  Rinse FM (106.8 FM) and...        MAY THE BASSLINE BE WITH YOU!
