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 into 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!

Usually we write a little something about the music but this time knowing how this artist works I asked them directly about the project and I’m sure glad I did!

Goldfat presents ‘Note’

“These tracks were written at a time where I was feeling particularly fragile about my place in the drum and bass scene, both creatively and socially. There's a lot about the way this scene operates that makes it very uncomfortable for those who don't look, think or behave in a particular way. Maybe because drum and bass is an underground movement some people (mainly cis men) don't consider that the social issues that effect wider society such as queer-phobia, sexism, racism, etc. also exists within our tiny community, and that this has a profound affect on the music that comes out of this scene.

With all that said, the process of making and releasing this music was a joyous one. 'Empty Spaces' speaks to the feeling you get when a song hits different and for a split second everyone in the room loses their sense of self. That's quite a unique and precious thing, and probably what draws people to this music. However, if our spaces aren't inclusive the capacity to create moments like these dies very quickly.

'Keep It Simple', 'Learn To Speak', and 'Honesty Matters' are all call-to-actions and mantras that I say to myself to help me be better at nurturing non-toxic spaces around me. They are also me indulging in the privilege of being able to mess around and explore different sonic worlds. Ultimately allowing myself to have fun and enjoy this music.

I feel immensely grateful to have a network that is diverse, kind, open and supportive, this music speaks to that too. I did.”

Note - Keep It Simple

Released ▻ 5th December

Quartz sent 'Brass Knuckles' over and I built an instant love for it. It was just completely different to anything else out there.  I've always been an easy pushover to any percussion / bongo led tunes since way back and this one definitely is no exception. I saw Mantra support this one real early on back in 2018, she had the same test version I had and it looked like the Keep Hush crowd really went for this one too, most of the other tracks on DISDUB019 are fresher out the studio, but this tune was the instigator and over time felt like a solid starter for a 180g plate of funk.

Since releasing on Reinforced at the age of 16, Dominic Stanton has always remained one of the most influential producers in the west London broken beat scene. Those early adventures via numerous successful aliases laid the foundations for Dom's sound, eventually leading to the launch of 'Sonar's Ghost' in 2013.

Welcoming Sonar's Ghost to Metalheadz is now long overdue, so it's a pleasure to be showcasing 'The Fall and Rise Of...' as part of the Metalheadz Platinum series this July. Consisting of 5 collabs, 4 of them making the vinyl cut, the release draws inspiration from the rich heritage of jungle and breakbeat, effortlessly weaving together intricate rhythms and immersive textures. Outrage & Scale feature on 2 tracks each, whilst Acid_Lab also gets in on the virtual collaboration bringing together a complimentary selection of styles.
