Nu Tone signing to Hospital and Rockwell signing to Shogun were 2 of the worst things to happen to drum and bass IMO.
Agreed. Nu Tone and Logistics just aren't celebrated enough by Hospital.
say what? Rockwell's Shogun releases are great
We had High Contrast, Camo & Krooked, Fred V & Grafix, and Dynamite MCQuote:

Nu:Tone & Logistics signing to Hospital, not sure if that was such a bad thing either. For that time they were pretty Hospital to me. Nu:Tone has quite some decent tunes if you ask me, and Logistics too. Sadly only 1-2 / album.
S.P.Y. & Metrik signing to Hospital were more unexpected moves to me. Especially S.P.Y., I really really like his music, but I always get the feeling they'll be pushed toward something more (and I hate to use the word again) commercial. Luckily he didn't with his last album, which was pure epicness.
Metrik on the other hand I havent listened to for a while. Some of his songs are really good imo. And some just are the same thing over & over again. I do think he's a really good DJ. I wouldn't be surprised if his sound changed just like Camo & Krooked's did.
Since we're talking about Hospital anyway, there's rumors that Keeno (Liquidtones) is getting signed at Hospital. He makes really good 'real' liquid, and again I'm afraid that's about to change.
Now I might seem like a really big hater, but that's not the case. Other labels just release tunes that my taste is more directed to. Hospital is more for the masses & festivals. And they're really big in Belgium.
Oh, and a really quick edit. I Love Tony Colman as a producer, a dj, an organiser, ... He's just hands down a really cool guy.
Shogun is where good producers go to die and barely release anything. Rockwell doesn't fit their style at all IMO. Rockwell is good for Shogun, but Shogun isn't good for Rockwell. He has a tune coming out in Exit though.
Hospital is full good producers that make garbage.
Man, Rockwell used to make some great DnB, and Shogun used to be a lot better too... I still find myself playing Bone Structure or Everything (& U). I don't like trap for the most part, so that's probably why I don't appreciate that side of Rockwell's recent output. Mind you that 'Fluf' track on childhood memories was pretty cool, definitely not DnB though.
Oh, and here's an amazing older tune, Outlook - Satisfy:

is this the right place to spam my own mix?
Dunno... if it's a legit good mix maybe post a link to the thread you made for it, same goes for a track or remix you made. If you post a tracklist on the mix thread it helps a lot. I'll usually give dnb mixes a listen if I see them and I dig the music in them.Quote:

There's also this, but I dunno how much use the groups are getting:
