AutomAte Tech - Present & Future

Continuing to expand their repertoire further afield into the realms of drum & bass, Hospital Records proudly welcome Soulvent Records into the family! Soulvent has been at the forefront of the new generation of drum and bass since 2014. Founded by Joe Goss, Jack (Pola) Higgins and Liam Holyoak-Rackal, it all started over a conversation at a dubstep rave in the toilets. Since then, Soulvent have gained a reputation for their high calibre releases and vibe-packed events. The ‘Soulvent Meets Hospital’ compilation sees both imprints unite over 14 brand spanking new remixes of a selection of classics from the Hospital and Soulvent back catalogues - this is a serious sound collision!

Tuck straight in to the album with Nu:Tone’s dreamlike remix of the soul-oozed ‘Butterfly Effect’ by GLXY featuring Hugh Hardie and Visionobi. With the original racking up well over 1 million streams as well as support from Skankandbass, it is without a doubt one of Soulvent’s most remarkable releases. Nu:Tone delivers mesmerizing rolling drumwork, fluttering synths and his signature deep bassline injections on his 2022 remix.
 
Hugh Hardie steps up to the plate on remix duties for Japan-based Mountains’ electrifyingly feel-good track ‘I’m Free’ (feat. Kojo)’. Taking it into darker territories, Hugh switches it up and provides an upbeat stepper layered with mind warping basses and skittery plucks which are a sublime complement to the original which was taken from Mountain’s debut self-titled LP on Soulvent Records in March 2022.

Rising talent and one-to-watch DJ and producer Vektah has been making noise in the scene since his debut EP ‘Culture Shift’ dropped on Soulvent last year. Vektah heads up a jungle infused remix of Fred V’s ‘Program & Control’, taken from Fred V’s debut solo album ‘Radiate’. Expect enchanting chimes, shimmering synthesis and crystal clear percussion.

Weighty drum and bass wizard Whiney further blesses Vektah’s ‘Request’ from the Soulvent
VA EP series ‘Tonics: Batch 1’ which shone a light on some of the scene’s mosst exciting upcoming talent. Whiney crafts up an instant rave damager with system thumping wobbles and pounding drums. 

Staples of the drum & bass scene Pola and Bryson delve deeply into Bop x Subwave’s lofi-meets-electronica inspired anthem ‘Don’t Wake Me Up’. On this rendition, the duo continue to demonstrate their multifaceted production styles through crisp percussion and gorgeous atmospherics.                                    

Brace yourself for further compilation highlights, with killer cut remixes Flava D, Fred V, Askel & Elere, Etherwood, Logistics, In:Most, Circumference and imo-Lu.

Recently celebrating their quarter-century milestone as one of the most esteemed dance music imprints, Hospital Records head into 2022 for an exciting new chapter alongside Soulvent Records!

Grafix - Stutter (Circumference Re-spin)

We’re very excited to welcome Jon Tho’s soul-stirring sounds to our catalogue this Summer! The Portuguese producer is also the brain behind Surveillance Music - an imprint that has been releasing its own unique brand of emotionally charged-come-tech-heavy sonics since 2019. While he initially cut his teeth under a different moniker, since launching Jon Tho in 2020, he’s achieved releases on Galacy, Blackout, Elevate and of course Surveillance.

The playfully titled ‘Don’t Want To Know’ unfolds with unsettling pads, twinkling synths, and a driving rhythm thanks to its pumping bassline. These elements are further complemented by warped vocal samples and gliding sweeps that litter the arrangement, resulting in a heart-wrenching piece which is suited for headphones and dancefloors alike. 

On the slightly more joyfully-named ‘Smile’ Jon teams up with one half of rising duo Circumference, in the form of Freshney. Together they deliver more thumping rhythms, in a track filled to the brim with bulging bass, emotive piano chords and powerful momentum. The imaginative structuring helps build tension, culminating in an expansive soundscape, dense with harmonic twinkles that are sure to bring a grin to your 
face this year. 

On August 5th 2022, we are pleased to bring you music from a country that should also be known for its upcoming drum and bass scene, and will have you asking - “Yeah but, have you heard of Jon Tho?!”

C-DU - Beam [Impact Music] PREMIERE

A man of more eclectic tastes than one might imagine, Fortitude has found his space in the dark corner where drum & bass meets hardcore. A resident for Therapy Sessions UK and no stranger to mainland Europe, there’s no denying the dent he’s making in the scene.  Similar damage has been done in the studio, with releases on a slew of well-respected hard-edged labels.

Turn Bad is a cast iron slab of dirty, sweaty techstep, aimed square at the hard-rocking dancefloors atop which Fortitude plies his trade.  Backed with a trademark peak-time headbanging remix from one of New Zealand’s finest exports, Dose working alongside the mysterious Dual Focus.

Fortitude - Turn Bad - AM8T007 - Out Now!

http://soundcloud.com/Philth is addicted to music; it is his breath and his lifeblood. A music teacher by day and DJ/producer by night, a more driven man you will not find. The very definition of ‘signature sound’, his heady mix of distorted filth & saturated breakbeats is the fuel behind a meteoric rise, turning the heads of the scene’s top DJs and talent spotters.

As one would expect given the track titles, neither tune beats about the bush.  The menacing, rumbling intro of Destroyer leads directly to philthy overdriven bass rips before dropping into a stomping, claustrophobic rhythm with which even the most nimble of foot will struggle to keep pace.

Genocide presents a slightly friendlier façade for all of 40 seconds before again taking a snarling turn darkwards, this time into a tearing, swaggering stepper. If, as the sample suggests, this is the future of the human race, a stab-proof vest may be a wise investment.

For more information / press pack, contact info@automatednb.co.uk

Supported by Dillinja, Dieselboy, A-Sides, TC, Ray Keith, AK1200, InsideInfo, Stealth, The Sect, Jade, State Of Mind, Basher, Xanadu, DJ E, CZA, Savage Rehab, Mista Noize, Square..... the list goes on.  And on.  This release is getting absolutely battered!

Destroyer / Genocide

Philth - Destroyer - AM8T009 - Out Now!

The hasty, pressured vocal snippets of Trojan wind up the tension before storming out of the gate accompanied by tight beats, antagonistic bass slabs and boundless energy. This is one part glitch, one part neuro and one part mechanical stepper; there’s a dank, malevolent force at work here but somehow not taken too seriously.

Trojan / Coriolis

Seppa - Trojan - AM8T010 - Out Now

Coriolis is upbeat yet laid back, weaving its way through a cave system light-years from home, discovering as it goes a myriad of synthetic elements.  A perfect comparison and contrast with the A-side, this track manifests a similar brain in a very different body.

Seppa - Coriolis  - AM8T010 - Out Now

Inseparable German duo Rune & Kaiza, aka Instinkt, deliver a trademark solo effort backed with a collaboration with fellow countrymen Audio Habitat and hot-right-now MC Kryptomedic.

Kabuki is the more rolling of the two.  A precise, robotic technoid groove bringing to mind an android army marching heads-down into a black hole.  There is no escape from the hypnotic rhythm as we are pulled over the event horizon.

Gasket features a veritable German dream-team with the combined musical talents of Instinkt & Audio Habitat and the vocal prowess of Eatbrain’s MC Kryptomedic.  Snarling basses and full-bodied drums underpin Krypto’s relentless social commentary.

The Deep label aims to put the warmth back into drum & bass with a range of deep, eclectic, inspirational music, influenced by anything from the Far East to South America and everything in between. AutomAte Deep was launched in 2013 and has already picked up Radio 1 airplay from Nihal plus support from Raiden, EBK, Morphy, The Untouchables, Mental Forces, J Robinson, Ortokore, Philth, Stunna, Marukomu, Dexta & Mauoq (Diffrent Music).

The Tech label showcases a variety of gritty drum & bass music, from amen tracks and heavy-steppers to neuro and hardcore styles. We like it grimy with a slight attitude problem and an infectious groove.
