Yesterday saw the release of a single from 4AD featuring two utopian remixes of Joker’s ‘On My Mind’ from his recent album The Vision. The first of the duo is an orchestral and break-heavy rework by none other than Goldie and the second track, from Glasgow producer Rustie, is literally da bomb. And I don’t use that term lightly…or at least, I haven’t since the ’90s. Seriously though, it’s an absolute cracker. Which is kind of a fitting description considering it’s almost Christmas. If you bought the track, put it on a USB stick and placed it inside a cracker which you rigged in favour of your opponent’s victory, they would be on-their-knees-grateful when they found out what they’d won. Trust me, I’m a pro.

I was actually going to sit down and craft a lengthy and inspiring description of the Rustie tune, but instead I ended up watching an episode of Sharpe and completely losing myself (which tends to happen quite a lot). You should probably just listen to it below and directly immerse yourself in the kaleidoscopic goodness like an eccentric Alice in Wonderland extra with a penchant for bass.

No, this is not the title of Johnny Knoxville’s autobiography — although it should be — it actually denotes a compilation celebrating 15 years of the UK’s most famous drum & bass label, Hospital Records. An epic double CD release, the first disc features 15 new and previously unreleased tunes and the second bears a shiny ‘History of Hospital’ mix by Cyantific. Basically it’s a cunning combination of new and old, like a Hollywood face…but, like, in a musical context. Anyway, I’m going to buy it purely for the VIP mix of ‘Song in the Key Of Knife’ and I’m going to play it over and over and over. And under.

15 Years of Hospital drops on November 28th. Pre-order it at Amazon. The [incredibly long] tracklist and a preview of the ‘Song in the Key Of Knife’ VIP lie after the jump.

Although I am yet to peruse the album in its entirety, the 20 minute preview below showcases exactly the kind of tranquil, electronically-tinged vibes I was expecting from the man that brought us the supremely beautiful ‘Song About My Dog’. If you’re one of those oh-so-chilled-out-people on a constant search for the record that attains the mythical halcyon plateau, you’ll not go wrong with this as a stepping stone. Stay strong brothers and sisters, one day you’ll find a perfectly serene piece of genius and spend the rest of your days getting stoned and growing your own vegetables. Wait, can I join?

Personally, I believe that’s down to the sheer quality of Bop’s music. It must be impossible to fuck it up. It’s like the musical equivalent of lego bricks…

dBridge is a breath of fresh air and EXIT022 is, once again, a characteristically unique and intriguing release which should be played in a dark room with a bottle of Jack Daniels and a strobe light. Maybe…

dBridge – Dim Light

Circus mogul Doctor P has mentioned similarities to his own tune ‘Sweetshop’ but I think the comparison is a little unfair. The synths employed in that track are hardly unique and this is better anyway…oops.

Listen/download below.

Liquid d&b duo Brookes Brothers and beatboxer Reeps One finish off the line-up and it’s only £5.50 to get your arse through the door. Surely there’s no reason for you not to come!?

A-side ‘Your Way’ is the usual strain of infectious liquid, with sweetly processed strings and a catchy vocal hook. Job done, excellent. ‘Daydreaming’, however, is a relentlessly looping puddle of shit. It’s about as pleasurable as a fire alarm in a prison cell and feels like Van Gogh and Mike Tyson tag-teaming your ears whilst Sir Killalot approaches from behind. Jesus, somebody must like this, who the hell decided it was good enough to release? Radar had better have some decent things lined up otherwise it’ll sink faster than…well, Sir Killalot.

Anyway, download ‘Daydreaming’ below and decide for yourself. I would advise that you spend your money on something else by Netsky or just purchase ‘Your Way’ on its own when it sees a digital release.

Netsky – Daydreaming

I think Netsky’s ‘Memory Lane’ from the Sick Music Vol. 2 Sampler is massive by the way…just sayin’.
