Second Nature

£9.99 (£11.99 incl. VAT)

Dance music icon Netsky has taken the drum & bass scene by storm since the announcement of his highly anticipated return to Hospital Records for his fourth studio album.

‘Second Nature’ represents Netsky’s everlasting love for his D&B roots that has sent shockwaves
throughout the dance community. His journey comes full circle as his brand new record marks
the 10 year anniversary since his self-titled Hospital debut, with collaborations on the 18-track
long-player from Sub Focus, Becky Hill, Rudimental, Hybrid Minds, and Urbandawn to name a
few. ‘Second Nature’ is teed up to be a remarkable and seminal release for drum & bass
lovers around the world.

Bringing his classic liquid sound into 2020 alongside New Zealand based prodigy Montell2099
who has worked with the likes of Diplo, 21 Savage, Lil Wayne and Mr. Carmack, future bass
meets Netsky’s signature soulful groove on ‘Mixed Emotions’, paying tribute to New Zealand
and the love and support he has received there over the past decade of during his
career as an artist and DJ.

Multi Brit-Award winning drum & bass powerhouse Rudimental and their official vocalist
Afronaut Zu jump into the picture for ‘Blend’, which sees groove filled vocals rolled out
alongside a slick bassline, vibrant trumpets, Netsky’s feel-good melodies, and Rudimental’s
signature uplifting style.

Covering the Deniece Williams classic, ‘Free’ is reminiscent of Netsky’s love for funk & soul,
introduced by his father from a young age, that can also be felt in ‘I Choose You’ (a cover of
Willie Hutch’s ‘I Choose You) and ‘Everybody Loves The Sunshine’ (feat. Chantal Kashala &
Daddy Waku)’ (covering Roy Ayers’ ‘Everybody Loves The Sunshine’). ‘Free’ takes you back to
the original sounds of Net-sky with a trademark liquid bassline and unforgettable brass topline,
as sincere vocals and old school breakbeats tie the track together into a nostalgic number
infused with the sounds of today.

’Look At Me Go’ features breakbeat and UK hardcore champion Darren Styles. This four to
the floor slammer with its thumping kick drum and catchy vocal sample has already received
support from the likes of Sub Focus and Dimension. Coming together with Hospital’s very
own Urbandawn, ‘Power’ sees the epic collision of two heavyweights as halftime drums
and a slapping double bass kick start the jam, followed by the takeover of sweltering
synths and soni-cally searing drums.

’Destiny’ is a high voltage dancefloor anthem as Netsky joins forces with fellow drum & bass
stalwart Sub Focus with Jozzy on the vocals. Big room synths inject energising vibrations on
this electrifying cut which truly is a collaboration of legends. Plus, soulful pianos are paired
with the unifying vocals of Becky Hill as she throws back to her second nature, and graces her
first drum & bass track for several years on the heartfelt banger ‘Hold On’.
