Hospital Records
Hospital Records is a British independent record label based in East London. Primarily releasing drum and bass, the label was started in 1996 by Tony Colman (London Elektricity) and Chris Goss and has grown to become one of the most well-known labels within UK dance music. The label has been home to artists including Netsky, Camo & Krooked, Logistics, Nu:Tone, Metrik, Fred V & Grafix, High Contrast, and S. P. Y and releases music from across the DnB genre. In Shoreditch, East London, Hospital runs the publishing company Songs in the Key of Knife and their worldwide events brand, Hospitality. Until the end of 2019, Hospital also ran an experimental label called Med School Music.
'Hospitality' is Hospital Records's event brand. Drum and bass events involving a set of artists from the label are often advertised as 'Hospitality' events, with events and festivals such as 'Hospitality Brixton', 'Hospitality In The Woods' & Hospitality 'On The Beach'.
In 2014 Hospital Records celebrated its 18th birthday by revisiting some of the venues it had used for past Hospitality events. The first event took place at 02 complex in Greenwich, London. This was formerly the Matter nightclub. On 4 May Hospitality visited Heaven near Charing Cross station in central London.
In 2017, the label turned 21, a milestone marked by the release of a 'best of' compilation album featuring a selection of tracks produced by the label during its lifetime. Named 'We are 21', the album was released as a precursor to a year of planned events celebrating the breadth and variety of the entire drum and bass spectrum. These include the follow-up to 2016's award-winning Hospitality in the Park festival in London's Finsbury Park, where a sold-out crowd of over 10,000 watched more than 100 artists performing across 5 stages in a single day. The festival marked a step into unknown territory for the label, is by far the largest Hospitality event ever planned. The day was later described by label boss Tony Colman (Aka London Elektricity) on his weekly podcast as, "One of the best days of my life."
Hospitality in the Park 2017 set out to be even more ambitious. 2,500 extra tickets were made available, taking the crowd capacity up to 12,500. Despite this, the event sold out once more. With many more performers than at even the record-breaking 2016 event – this time appearing in one of eight different arenas – the festival further broadened its already eclectic focus. Hospitality in the Park has returned for the following 2 years.
Other big events for the label included the sold-out Hospitality in the Dock, which took place in April 2017 in London's sprawling Grade 1 listed tobacco dock. This was the biggest indoor event ever held by Hospital Records, again showcasing a wide variety of acts across a number of stages. Hospitality in the Dock built on the success of Hospitality in the Park 2016 and further underlined the importance of the label to both the industry and the genre. The unprecedented size, scale, and success of these events have cemented the reputation of Hospital Records as one of the leading players in the industry.
In 2018, another main event, Hospitality on the Beach, took place at The Garden Resort in Tisno, Croatia. The event was a 5-day beach festival that included boat parties, beach-side stages as well as sets featuring artists from the Hospital and Med School labels, along with many other artists from other labels such as Critical Music and Spearhead Records. The event has returned for 2019 and will also return for 2020.
Hospital Records provides a number of compilation albums throughout the year named 'Hospitality'. The albums contain tracks, VIP mixes, and remixes from both artists of the label as well as artists outside the label, such as Genetic Bros, Cyantific, Sub Zero, and TC. All of the albums contain about 30 tracks, as well as a mix (mixed by recognised DJs such as London Elektricity, Stanza, and Tomahawk) containing all of the tracks in the album.
