Continuing into the next chapter on their journey to showcase some of the finest upcoming talent in the world of drum & bass, Hospital Records are excited to announce the second instalment of their new ‘Future Symptoms’ VA EP series. Volume 2 is a reflection of the A&R team’s efforts to find the sounds of tomorrow, with the release being headed up by Stay-C, Disrupta, Lally & Aaliyah Esprit and Imo-Lu.

Lally & Aaliyah Esprit kick things off with ‘Hustlin’’, a soul-driven liquid funk stepper composed of elegant R&B vocals, warming pianos and crisp drum breaks. With Lally making his debut release on Soulvent Records earlier this year, and Aaliyah Esprit claiming a number of accolades including being selected as a pupil for Giles Peterson’s ‘Future Bubblers’ programme as well as a string of singles, this is a combination of two sounds that intertwine to perfection.

Multi-talented heat supplier Stay-C is flying the flag for the South African drum & bass family with ‘Russian Doll’. Based out of Johannesburg, Hospital Records’ former Women In Drum & Bass mentee Stay-C is no stranger to laying down a cold cut banger. With an official remix for Nu:Logic’s ‘New Technique’ under her belt on the ‘H25PITAL’ compilation, her latest body of work matches up to be just as tough.

Sharp up-and-comer Disrupta brings the energy on ‘Like The Sun’ as he meticulously combines iconic dance music sounds with the new generation of drum & bass. Expect euphoric Korg M1 style synths, punchy drums and a dreamy vocal sample. With releases on Liquid V, Born On Road and Bingo Bass to name a few, Disrupta is paving the way for the sounds of tomorrow with collaborations alongside fellow new blood including Jappa, Teej, Sl8r and Duskee.

Dividing her time between drum & bass and ballet accompaniment, classically trained pianist and skilled music producer imo-Lu offers an uplifting key-driven ballad where her musicality shines through brightly. Carving out a name for herself with appearances on the Hospital Records Rinse FM show, a collaboration with Kharm and a healthy supply of self-releases on her Soundcloud, imo-Lu is one to watch - no questions asked.

The sounds of tomorrow are looking stronger than ever. Don’t sleep on these names, and be sure to keep an eye out for the coming instalments of Hospital Records’ new ‘Future Symptoms’ series - these are the next generation.

Shogun Audio proudly presents Pola & Bryson’s long-awaited third album ‘Beneath The Surface’: PolaBryson.lnk.to/BeneathTheSurfaceSD

The realisation of a deep desire to write a conceptual project, the album showcases new heights of sonic expression for the duo, exploring the musical interpretations of a journey through an imagined world.

“We envisioned a landscape to act as inspiration to us whilst writing this album. The landscape is made up of four distinct sections, each representing different mental and emotional states through the means of musical and visual aides.

I. Shinrinyoku, a dense, peaceful forest environment. Peace, rebirth, growth.
II. Mangata, the edges of a cold, misty lake. Secret, unsettled, doubt.
III. Toska, a dark and endless cave. Melancholy, depth, darkness.
IV. Yuugen, a vast and epic mountain range. Open, light, resolution.

The album, paired with bespoke animated visuals, paints the perfect reflection of the journey.”

‘Under’ encapsulates the soulful, rolling sound that has become synonymous with Pola & Bryson over the years – Lauren Archer’s enchanting vocal soaring over atmospheric strings, pads and breaks. Their first collaboration since the multi-million streaming ‘Running In The Dark’, the duo work with Bristol-based vocalist Ruth Royall once more on ‘Friend’, a stunning blend of warm ambience, crisp drums and 808 hits with Royall’s effortless top-line.

Showcasing their versatility as artists whilst firmly remaining in the sonic world of the album, ‘In Too Deep’ slows the pace, venturing through unclear waters as the journey through the imagined landscape continues. Solah’s rich tones perfectly match the tonally ambiguous ’Neverend’, a track heavily supported editorially across Spotify, Apple Music and Amazon.

Collaborating with Strategy for the darkest twist within the duo’s imagined landscape, the Manchester MC hits with line after line in ‘Anaesthetist’ leading into a powerful peak of lashing breaks and engulfing bass. Calling on talented vocalist Kojo, ‘Closer To Home’ embodies the best qualities of Pola & Bryson’s artistry; unparalleled musicality, masterful production and nothing but feel-good vibes as the summer begins to wind down into the autumn.

Working closely with the Shogun Audio and Army Of Few design teams, physically the album is presented exclusively in a deluxe box set including 2 x 12" vinyl, four bespoke artwork posters, a Pola & Bryson sticker and a custom USB featuring digital artwork, all album tracks plus five exclusive unreleased tracks including VIPs of Find Your Way ft. Charlotte Haining & Night Dawns ft. Lauren Archer and three brand new tracks.

"Masterful production and musicality throughout, I love that the album has been made just as much for the home listener as for the clubs. For me, these guys are leading the new wave of Liquid Drum & Bass." Sub Focus

With their debut album ‘This Time Last Year’ on their Soulvent Records imprint putting the duo firmly on the map, and their sophomore album ‘Lost In Thought’ on Shogun Audio being nominated for best album in the Drum&Bass Arena Awards, it comes as no surprise to find the duo now at a new peak in their progression and in high demand within the industry. In a small number of years, Pola & Bryson have been enlisted to remix the likes of Moby, Sub Focus, Wilkinson, Camo & Krooked as well as collaborating on an EP with Drum & Bass legend DJ Marky.

With their headline show at the prestigious Steel Yard venue in London sold out months in advance, fans wait anxiously for one of 2021’s most highly-anticipated artist albums in Drum & Bass. With sophistication beyond their young years, Pola & Bryson are showing no signs of slowing down as they continue to take their music and performances to a new level.
