Fifteen years ago, Chris Goss and Tony Colman – or The Tonester as he definitely does not like to be called – began the record label we all know and love as Hospital Records. Back in 1996 (yes, it really was that long ago) the pair were happy to release their own brand of soulful, forward-thinking DnB as London Elektricity on this brand spanking new label, but as the public’s appetite for dance music progressed, Hospital became a bit more adventurous. You all already knew that though, of course you did! It’s a well documented factoid that Hospital Records fans are among some of the most loyal and knowledgeable in the world; let’s stop with the history lesson and have some fun.
We thought it would be interesting to find out what some of Hospitality’s well-loved DJs and producers were doing back in the days when sold-out venues and limited edition branded tea towels were nought but a dream. Come with us on a trip down memory lane to find out where they were and what they hoped they’d be doing in 2011 when we still thought there’d be flying cars (probably).
