Hospital Record’s favourite purveyor of all things rolling and funky is back, partnered with the one and only MC GQ for a legend-packed single. ‘Salute’ hits with a joint force, throwing back to the pioneering jungle sound, brought straight into 2018 with Danny Byrd’s signature dancefloor bounce.
A funky guitar intro leads into a fanfare of live recorded horns, keeping things rooted with sub-heavy bass and nostalgic broken-beats that rises as the lyrical domination from GQ begins - the perfect match for Danny’s amen-laden drumwork.
‘Salute’ is definitely the result of a master at work, blending everything there is to love about drum & bass and sets the tone of what's going to be an exciting year for the mighty Danny Byrd.
Danny Byrd has started 2018 with a bang with his previous single ‘Devil’s Drop’ chosen as Hottest Record In The World by dance music tastemaker and BBC Radio 1 icon Annie Mac, followed by support from MistaJam, Rene LaVice, Phil Taggart and Target, leading to it hitting #10 in the BBC Radio 1 Specialist chart.
He was invited to join Rene LaVice in the studio for a ‘Triple Threat’ alongside MC Inja, part of Hospital Records’ Label Focus on BBC Radio 1 and most recently performed the very first live mini mix for BBC Radio 1's Rave Lounge.
