To mark their 25th year as one of the most esteemed imprints in dance
music, Hospital Records head into 2021 with a groundbreaking selection of
25 brand new remixes, reworks, covers and VIPs of NHS classics, combining
pinnacle Hospital figures and friends of the label for an all-encompassing
celebration of drum & bass.
’H25PITAL’ embarks on a journey throughout the past, present and future of
Hospital Records, featuring the likes of Dillinja, S.P.Y, Flava D, DJ Marky, Unglued,
Makoto, Loxy & Ink, Mitekiss, Nookie and more. Their quarter-century birthday
commemorations raise the bar once again as a variety of sounds and styles
come together for a 174BPM compilation like no other.
DRS & Dynamite, two legends who have taken the scene by storm with their
collaborative outfit, team up with Logistics for a new-wave remix of the 2009
heater ‘Jungle Music’. Wordsmiths by nature, DRS & Dynamite lay down carefully
crafted bars paying homage to their love for jungle and its roots over Logistics’
revamped instrumental.
Stepping up for remix duties on Danny Byrd’s iconic ‘Salute (feat. MC GQ)’ is
none other than the king of the amen, Remarc offering his clear cut production
skill. Breaks processed to perfection and an unruly bassline are fused flawlessly
with elements of the original, including the nostalgia-inducing horns and illustrious
vocals of drum & bass veteran GQ.
An instantly recognisable anthem to any drum & bass fan and an undeniable
staple in the Hospital Records back catalogue, ‘Beautiful Lies’ by B-Complex
gets the remix treatment from L-Side who’s been making moves with the V Recordings
crew. The future meets a classic as minimal bouncing drum work and
ripping bass stabs instil bursts of brand new energy into the track.
Expect a collision of sonic realms in Halogenix’s remix of Kings Of The Rollers’
infamous ‘Shella (feat. Chimpo)’. Flying the flag for the Critical Music family,
Halogenix’s 2021 rendition which has been generating excitement from corner
to corner in the world of drum & bass for some time now unleashes an
absolute growler of a bassline as Manchester’s very own Chimpo dominates
the topline.
The highly sought after VIP of Metrik’s ‘Cadence (feat. Reija Lee)’ is finally seeing
the light of day. Dreamlike synthesis and ravishing vocals build a picturesque
soundscape which soon evolves into Metrik’s signature high-octane flow
as he delivers cutting-edge dancefloor vibes.
Calling upon pioneers of the scene, from Dillinja’s remix of Urbandawn’s ‘Come
Together (feat. Tyson Kelly)’ to Ray Keith’s weighty interpretation of ‘Drum &
Bossa’ by Landslide, as well as trailblazing newcomers including the likes of
Winslow and Stay-C, the cross-generational sounds of drum & bass are united
