Holy shit you guys.
Hospital Records' gig at Brixton Academy in London was the hypest of the hypes, I have never been to a more gloriously intense D&B show in my life. I've been to a bunch of gigs and seen plenty of musicians at the Brixton O2 and this single night managed to make every single one of the seem tiny and insignificant in comparison to the sheer balls-to-the-wall awesomeness that was April 6th 2012. Fred V, Grafix & Carasel opened the first hour giving London Elektricity ample room to tear open the crowd's expectant near-virgin earholes. After that, High Contrast played through their entire newly released 'The Agony and The Ecstacy' album, complete with a set-long music video to accompany it, amongst which, 'The First Note is Silent' and 'Not Waving, But Drowning' were two of the most memorable moments of my life, 'First Note' because I've never felt so drawn into a tune and it's bassline before and 'Drowning' because combined with the intense, psychologically surreal visuals (you'd understand if you were there) on screen and the very intimate impersonality of the 2,000 strong crowd I felt so adrift and caught up that it was hard not to lose myself. D&B is fucking amazing. I was supremely impressed with their set which I think made Netsky's live performance even more memorable. They reminded me of Pendulum in their prime, except without the pretensiousness and with more drum & bass. They included quite a few tunes from their self-titled album, of which 'Secret Agent' was an absolute stunner. I'm bored of typing but suffice to say, Hospital Records put on literally the best night ever and I would gladly do it all over again.
Here's the live stream of the event, I'm in there somewhere.

I'll probably be going to a Hospitality once they come back round to Nottingham
You won't be disappointed mate, it's an amazing night.
The High Contast set starts at 2:57:00, it's well worth a watch.

Sick tunes came out this year, and that's fucking great!
Logistics new album is out today, it's okay but nothing ground breaking.
I know you have to move with the times and everything but I really prefer his older styles:

Reality Checkpoint is a great album fyi
I want to ask you guys something. Let's take this mix for example:

How is the part from 23:10 liquid? The "when you hear the sirens coming..."
It maybe fits in the mix, but is it really liquid? I think there should be another song instead of it. Thoughts?
Enei is sick

In my opinion, Smooth is one of those dudes that can't make a bad tune.
Just like Fred V & Grafix

This type of dnb is so boring for the most part. But this one has a really nice melody and vocals which saves it.

There is not a big enough crowd for High Contrast and Netsky.
Also, you need the clean youtube link for media tags to work.
High Contrasts older work will always be the best
