Being at the forefront of drum & bass for over a quarter of a century, Hospital Records proudly step into 2023 commemorating their 500th release with a brand new anthem packed celebratory compilation - ‘500’. Offering a bass-infused insight into the past, present and future of the south-London based imprint, brace yourself for 23 brand new original tracks and remixes of NHS certified classics. 

First off the bat is the stone cold killer Enei remix of Bop x Subwave’s serotonin supplier ‘Rave I Didn’t Know Was The Last’, taken from their debut album ‘Renaissance’ which landed in 2022. With the original track garnering support on prime time BBC Radio 1 shows such as Charlie Hedge’s Dance Anthems as well as coverage on UKF, this drum & bass flip is everything you needed and more as it injects tearout basslines and unmatched energy that has been taking dancefloors worldwide by storm.

Anaïs, Sudley and Champion DI get down to business with straight up killer triple-threat behaviour on ‘Live By The Sword’, a bass-injecting roller courtesy of some of the most exciting names at the forefront of the new generation of drum & bass. In their own respective rights, the trio have been tearing up the scene with Anaïs releasing her debut EP on Hospital in 2022, Sudley being on official remix duties for piri & tommy, and Champion DI making his D&B debut alongside Mollie Collins on the 174BPM anthem ‘Estate Of Mind’. This sound collision is just what the doctor ordered.

Stepping out into ethereal soundscapes, Hospital Records royalty Fred V joins forces with the legendary London-based singer songwriter Hamzaa on ‘Freefall’. Dreamlike arpeggios, powerful vocal toplines and an electrifying bassline are magically infused to elevate your consciousness. A staple of the modern day soul scene, Hamzaa has established herself as an undeniable talent with a mesmerising selection of releases spanning the likes of Parlophone Records, Mahogany Sessions, Renowned and more.
