NETSKY 2 :: OUT NOW

Hospital Records very own NETSKY has made his mark in the dance music scene. This 23 year old's signature sound brings in live influences with elements of electro-house and dubstep alongside the euphoric, hands-in-the-air D+B he has become known for.

One of my favorite tracks (non D&B) titled "Puppy" will rock any Festival or Summer party.

Open you mind, and ears to something different. Who knows, you might like it.

CLAUDE VONSTROKE :: HARD SUMMER MIX

When I need a change of pace from Soul music, I usually check catch up on my favorite artist in the Dance/Electronica genres. Today called for some bounce! One of my favorite producers in dance music is Claude Vonstroke. A friend of mine sent me this Summer mix and it was exactly what I was looking for. Enjoy!

ARMAND VAN HELDEN

Growing up in the underground L.A. Dance Scene during the 90s, Armand Van Helden was a huge influence to the culture. I was fortunate to catch a DJ set back in 97 and the kid has records for days! Disco, Funk, Hip Hop, House, Ghetto Tech, it's all good.

Along with these classic tunes are the music video, some which never seen the light of of day! Below are a few of my favorite songs and video's I would like to share from Armand's Arsenal!

2000BLACK :: DEGO :: NEW ALBUM

The debut solo album reveals Dego’s profound love for the simple physical pleasure of a perfect beat, but also his boundless curiosity for reinventing the most sophisticated elements of classic funk and electro.

Even within a single song, Dego manages to take listeners on a journey across time. “Late Night Fright,” for example, begins by harkening back to the heyday of dub and drum ‘n’ bass, the club ori-ented music of Dego’s youth, before slowly dissolving into a dreamy jazzy soundscape, mirroring Dego’s own musical evolution.
Elsewhere on the album, Dego joins forces with a carefully-selected roster of singers and instrumental collaborators. “We Are Virgo” is a collaboration with jazz multi-instrumentalist Kaidi Tatham, that blends several time signatures, drawing on a rich palette of analog synthesizer sounds. A funky tangle of old-school acid house arpeggios, mixed with a bouncing soul groove, featuring vocals by up
and coming British singer Obenewa, “All That She Knows”

Guests include Georgia Anne Muldrow, Taylor Mcferrin, Sharlene Hector
and many more.

ALBUM PREVIEW

ORIOL

I'm loving this guy Oriol right here. While most of you are sleeping, caught up in Dubstep and Boogie craze there's a new breed of artist pushing and fusing the lost genres of Broken Beat, Breaks and Electronic Dance Music.

Of Spanish and Trinidadian heritage, The Barcelona born (but Cambridge based) Oriol expanded his horizons and learnt his craft at London's broken beat related CDR (also home of Floating Points). With lush synths and a truly fresh sound evoking the summertime grooves of 70s soul and mid 80s electro with a twist.
