Hospital Records is one of the biggest labels in Drum n Bass, but its origins came out of the musical crossroads in the mid 90s which involved Acid Jazz, Broken Beat, elements of UK Garage, and of course Jungle.
Chris Goss was a co-founder, a key part of London Elektricity whose music Hospital was in part set up to support, and now runs the label and all of its constituent parts as the MD.
We talk about the history of the label, how it functions today, the relative importance of the Hospitality live events side of the business, and go down many peripheral rabbit holes relating to all of that stuff.
Hospital was a real inspiration to me in setting up Hotflush, so I was very excited to have Chris on the show... he did not disappoint!
On Hotflush and affiliated labels this week we have the return of the hugely exciting young artist https://www.instagram.com/annakost__/ (Anna Kost) with her new EP on https://annakost.bandcamp.com/album/waste-of-skin (Who Whom entitled Waste Of Skin).
