2. HOSPITAL RECORDS.
When choosing my artist Netsky I had to ensure I had sufficient knowledge into
his music label and how he came about.
Hospital Records is an independent record label based in South London.
Primarily releasing Drum and bass, the label was started in 1996 by Tony
Colman and Chris Goss, and has grown in recent years to become one of the
most well known labels within UK dance music. The label is home to artists such
as High Contrast, Netsky, London Elektricity, Danny Byrd, Camo &
Krooked, Logistics, Nu:Tone, Metrik, Fred V & Grafix and S.P.Y. but also
releases tracks from a whole host of other artists across the DnB genre. In
December 2011, Hospital Records won the Best Label title at the 2011 Drum and
Bass Arena Awards.
After researching into this record label I decided it would be the best choice for
my genre as it has a huge variety of artist and is one of the most well known
DnB music labels which is coincidently close to home in london.
