Metrik and Grafix Return With Roaring Single “Overdrive” and “Parallel VIP”
After his seminal 2020 album Ex Machina was released, drum & bass icon Metrik didn’t slow down. His VIP edit of “Cadence” with Reija Lee made waves on the H25PITAL compilation earlier this year, and he’s now back with Grafix in tow for a heater of a double-single. The next joint effort from the stellar drum & bass producers comes in the form of “Overdrive,” a futuristic dancefloor stepper with some serious nu-metal influences, both in the lyrical melodies (courtesy of Metrik himself), and record-scratching sounds reminiscent of early Linkin Park cuts. Falling in line with the Ex Machina atmosphere, “Overdrive” paints an image of a dystopian cyberpunk world, as Metrik and Grafix serve pure energy through the powerful bass stabs and enc...
Winslow Makes His Solo Hospital Records Debut With “Sandalwood Nights” EP
Earlier this year, St. Louis-based producer, multi-instrumentalist and vocalist Winslow topped our list of Five Drum & Bass Artists to Watch in 2021. Since then, he’s cranked out some truly memorable music, including his Mad Flavors EP on Soulvent, and his stunning remix of Nu:Tone and Lea Lea’s classic “Tides” for the H25PITAL compilation in celebration of Hospital Records‘ 25th anniversary. Now, Winslow is signed exclusively to the Hospital Records imprint and he’s made his solo debut with the brilliant Sandalwood Nights EP. “Soulful” is one way to describe Sandalwood Nights, but it doesn’t fully encompass the essence of Winslow’s latest work. It is soulful indeed, but served up with a flavor unique to the ski...

Drum & Bass Veteran Nu:Tone Announces First Album in Six Years, “Little Spaces”
Hospital Records has been a breeding ground for some of the drum & bass genre’s most prolific artists for nearly a quarter of a century. Perhaps one of the label’s best known artists, Nu:Tone has paved the way for a myriad of producers and vocalists over his two-decade tenure in the drum & bass scene. Nu:Tone’s impressive five-album catalogue has not seen a new entry since 2014, when he released the seminal Future History. After fostering the growth of some of drum & bass’ most influential artists for the past six years via collaborative releases, it was finally time for Nu:Tone’s next album to take center stage. “Back in January 2020 I had a dream one night that I was holding my new album, and it had the words ‘Little S...

Netsky to Air Exclusive Album Livestream from ZOO Antwerpen
Netsky, ZOO Antwerpen, Beatport, UKF On Air, and Hospital Records have teamed up to bring Netsky’s “Second Nature Album Showcase” to life. Last month, drum & bass icon Netsky released his highly anticipated fourth studio album, the incredible Second Nature. Unfortunately, there cannot be an album release tour, as the world remains in a quarantined and locked down state amid the COVID-19 pandemic. However, Netsky found a way to share Second Nature in a beautiful way regardless. Harnessing the power of livestreaming—which most performers have taken to in lieu of live shows—Netsky will perform the “Second Nature Album Showcase” live from ZOO Antwerpen in his home country of Belgium. The zoo, Beatport, UKF On Air, and Hospital Records...
Camo & Krooked Team Up With Mefjus for Haunting Single “No Tomorrow”
Austrian drum & bass power duo Camo & Krooked wowed audiences in 2020 with their incredible Red Bull Symphonic performance alongside conductor and composer Christian Kolonovits and the Max Steiner Orchestra. Now, the two producers have their sights set on the future with a new EP release. “No Tomorrow,” a collaboration with Austrian compatriot Mefjus and vocalist Sophie Lindinger, is the first single and the title track of said EP, which is scheduled to be released in January 2021. The trio’s effort is a stunning and intricate work of drum & bass, as expected. Lindinger’s haunting vocal work lines the track perfectly as the snappy percussive elements punch through, and a dark organ-esque synth drones on to carry the me...

Netsky on New Album “Second Nature,” His Return to Hospital Records, and More [Interview]
Ten years ago, a rising drum & bass star called Netsky released his self-titled album debut on Hospital Records, and fans weren’t been able to get enough since. The release of his sophomore effort, 2, propelled Netsky even further into the spotlight, but when the next album in the number sequence was released (and not on Hospital Records), a schism formed between drum & bass purists and fans of Netsky’s more experimental, pop-infused offerings. In April of this year, however, naysayers were silenced as Netsky released a new drum & bass single via Hospital, “I See The Future In Your Eyes.” That single was followed by “Mixed Emotions “(feat. Montell2099),” and those two tracks were just the beginning of the talen...
