Hidden under CanadaÕs ice-cold slopes is a core community of producers, DJs, fans and followers, all playing an essential role in supporting and growing CanadaÕs eclectic underground mountain of drum & bass. In ÔThe Future Sound of CanadaÕ EP the Hospital Records team draw out its key players to keep an eye on, adding six tracks from Schematic, Polaris, Gremlinz and Levrige to their worldwide series. Leading the EP are two serious solo artists whoÕs combined discography boasts releases on Drumsound & Bassline SmithÕs imprint Technique Recordings and Toronto-based Inner City Dance. As an equally powerful production pairing, Schematic & Polaris have delivered ÔConduitÕ to the EP - a serene trip through deep, melodic drum & bass. Also take notice of their equally special solo offerings: PolarisÕ ÔThe Light In Your EyesÕ and SchematicÕs hypnotic ÔLearn From The PastÕ featuring Victor Davies. Gremlinz - another Toronto talent - switches the EP from ethereal liquid to solid sonic sound waves with ÔTactical RailÕ, matching raw and rapid old-skool drum work with sinister siren calls. Then we come to the Levrige duo, a new project started by valiant Vancouver titans J.F.Killah and Erski whoÕve brought an intriguing futuristic jungle, half time style to the mix with ÔThe LegendÕ. Simplistic keys paired with complex percussions finishes up the EP in StranjahÕs ÔGideonÕ. The 2016 revival of the ÔFuture Sound ofÕ series draws to a close after connecting a multitude of drum & bass talent from America, Brazil, Holland and now Canada. All four fresh EPs are a triumph in the discovery of the next generation of producers and only further prove the unstoppable global reach of the genre, all spearheaded by its leading independent label, Hospital Records.
