Bredren - Red Powder (Arkaik Remix) [Proximity]

Benny L is the latest name we’re delighted to welcome to the Metalheadz family, as the young producer delivers a ferocious 4 track EP entitled ‘Route Zero’, where the crunchiest of basslines meets the heftiest of drums, with old skool flavours, atmospherics and effects thrown in on top too. 

‘Low Blow’, the lead track, has featured in the sets of Goldie, Noisia, Randall, Doc Scott and many more for a while now, and has already achieved the status of dancefloor killer well ahead of its release. Benny L continues on this path throughout the EP, showcasing a colossal sound that we’re very happy to have on the label.

Released October 6, 2017 on Metalheadz

Unglued, the elusive and enigmatic drum & bass producer, who after releasing just two tracks is already turning heads of some of the scene’s biggest names. With Andy C, Danny Byrd, Randall, High Contrast and of course label head London Elektricity supporting, it's no surprise he’s been picked up by the leading label in the game Hospital Records with an exclusive signing. Now he presents his debut solo single ‘Chicken In A Spacesuit’ that’ll leave you clucking for more.

Unglued comes correct, flaunting his production prowess with this cheeky stepper. Complete with complex kicks, haunting calls and heavyweight sub pressure for an intergalactic and extra crispy bite - you won’t forget this in a hurry.

Delve deeper in his locker to find ‘Ghetto’. A guaranteed sub-shaker that draws for a tech D+B style with flawless execution. Vocal injections and a moody rolling bassline are the key ingredients for this rig-melter.

After starting a storm of rumours with his bootleg of ‘If We Ever’ he’s become the proud artist behind the most sought after dubplate in the known universe. Unglued, welcome to Hospital Records!

Out Now!

Constrict - Never Lost (Ill Truth Remix)

A label born out of both Berlin and Bergamo in Italy, Delta9Recordings has been able to tap into a host of influences since they first began releasing music. Focusing primarily on the dark, minimalistic and techstep sounds, they’ve acquired a vast back catalogue to help platform these tastes. And Delta9Recordings have ensured that the artists they’ve helped to bring through, from across Europe, also encapsulate the same stylistic features. This can be seen throughout their forthcoming ‘This Way Up’ EP from drum & bass producer SL8R, which adds a welcome addition to their back catalogue and further presents the label as having the ability to pick out the very best newcomers slowly making their way to the genre’s forefront.

‘No Fuss’ begins the EP, creating a dancefloor twist amongst its flipping samples and stepped up sonics. The track begins as it means to go on, with an urgency which ramps up and creates an appeal which translates directly into the clubs. ‘Asterix’ comes next and this record takes a heavyweight standard to a much harder level, as when the bass drops it snares you and pulls you down deep into its grasps. The layers of percussion which introduce the record don’t allude to how low you’re about to go as soon as the bassline dives to a subterranean depth, as the track’s skeleton rattles with its pure power. ‘This Way Up’ is more minimal in its approach, although as it breaks down the sense of urgency can’t be masked. Each bass stab and instrumental bleat builds on the next, before you’re once again taken in by SL8R’s uncompromising production standard. 

‘Elastik’ brings ‘This Way Up’ to a close, offering up a slightly different version of the style which SL8R has showcased on the subsequent three records. At first ‘Elastik’ disguises itself as having a liquid underpinning, but the producer’s throbbing bass patterns and pelting drums make themselves known as the track drops and you’re suddenly grabbed by its power. SL8R’s formulaic music writing takes no prisoners and this is clear to see from one track to the next... That’s why he makes such a pivotal signing for Delta9Recordings and their groundbreaking roster.

Hospital Records proudly present the next chapter in their massive compilation series, ’Sick Music 2019’. It’s packed with 25 brand new and exclusive tracks from Hospital and Med School surgeons alongside some very special guest features, all carefully selected as the future drum & bass anthems of 2019. This diverse selection of 174 beats comes from the likes of London Elektricity, Fred V, S.P.Y, Metrik, Grafix, Logistics, Whiney, Unglued, Benny L, Flava D, Bou, Pete Cannon, Gridlok and many more.

After the announcement of the dynamic duo’s decision to focus on individual projects, Fred V and Grafix present their first solo releases in almost a decade. Renowned for synth-driven symphonies and soothing songwriting, Fred V brings a high dose of octane electronica in the down tempo fix, ‘Burning Me’. Grafix has taken a fresh direction with ‘Frozen’ travelling down the rough and rugged techy route, ready to shatter dancefloors worldwide. Plus it’s about to be a big year for Hospital Records’ commander-in-chief London Elektricity as he returns from the studio a the dynamic funk-ladened D+B spectacular, ‘Funkopolis’.

Other highlights include Benny L’s re-rub of John Holt’s reggae hit ‘Police In Helicopter’, with a rugged bass to make the rave shake. The first lady of Bassline and UKG royalty Flava D also joins the fold for an exclusive first flex into the realms of D+B, the silky slick selection ’Return 2 Me’.

The latest rendition of our ‘Sick Music’ series also sees a string of all-star remixes with Whiney’s robust rework of Degs’ summer anthem ‘Poveglia’, Bop’s long awaited glitch-riddled remix of Anile’s ‘Allergens’ and S.P.Y’s ‘Dusty Fingers’ getting a special Metrik rework. ‘Sick Music 2019’ will be available as a 25-track digital download, 3 x CD (including 1 x Mixed CD) and a limited edition box-set, available exclusively from The Hospital Shop.

Included in this premium ‘Sick Music 2019’ lift-top box is a 4x12” vinyl pressing, which includes all 25 tracks in luxury printed spined sleeve inners, with a custom slipcase. A ‘Sick Music 2019’ 16GB USB, a ‘Sick Music 2019’ Tee and sticker set.
