[ELECTRONIC/DANCE] “The biggest thing about Hospital Records is that it’s the meeting point between light and dark. It encompasses what jungle and drum and bass is all about,” says Robert Matthews, better known as Basha, leader of Frosty Tone. Hospital Records is a drum and bass record label founded by South Londoners Chris Goss and Tony Colmon aka London Elektricity in 1996. Since its formation, it has become the quintessential drum and bass label, releasing records by the likes of High Contrast, Nu:Tone, Metrik, Danny Byrd, London Elektricity, Logistics, S.P.Y., Etherwood, Dynamite MC, and many others.

When the Hospital Records tour comes to the Waiting Room on Saturday, March 7, presented by MNM Presents, label vets Metrik, Nu:Tone, Etherwood, and Dynamite MC will throw down some serious 170bpm madness. This week we had Basha, who will play a supporting set at the Waiting Room, choose his 10 favorite Hospital Records releases of all time.
