Sick Music is the brand new compilation from Hospitals A&E hit squad. Featuring Hospital head-honchos London Elektricity, Cyantific, Total Science and more. Check inside for a special London Elek “SickCast” and snippets of the album.

鼓打贝司厂牌大哥大Hospital推出了万众瞩目的合辑“Sick Music”，其中包含了厂牌红星London Elektricity, Cyantific, Total Science等，还有一些新进小将们的作品。点击入内收听专辑单曲片段，还有London Elektricty特别制作的播客“SickCast”。

Expect the full gamet of the Hospital sound here – from experimental cuts to downright dancefloor anthems. These tunes have been going off at Hospitality events around the globe and are breaking onto the radio with support from DJs across the board – from Annie Mac to Zane Lowe, Mary Anne Hobbs to Mistajam.

The first signs of the sickness came in the shape of the sampler 12” featuring the massive Logisitics remix of Danny Breaks “Volume1” b/w Sigma’s Annie Mac anthem “Paint It Black”. Next up came the collectors edition 4 piece vinyl and now it’s time for the full selection, dropping on 2x unmixed CD for your extended listening pleasure, 21 tracks of scalpel sharp – bleeding edge drum+bass pressure. Check out all the release snippets, or order yourself a copy on Hospital Website.

You can also listen/download this special London Elektricty Hospital Podcast (SickCast) on this release with interviews to back it up.

这张令人惊滟的合辑充满了很”医院”的风格，从非常试验性质的小品，到猛烈的舞池骇歌，都受到了世界各地的电台和DJ们的强烈推荐，尤其是英国BBC Radio的Annie Mac， Zane Lowe等等，常常都可以听到他们在节目中播放。

可能是因为策略性放送的关系，这个合辑分成几个不同的阶段发行。除了刚刚正式发行，包含21首新歌的双CD之外，第一张12寸唱片sampler收录了Logistics做混音的Danny Breaks “Volume1″，还有算是Annie Mac的爱歌，由Sigma带来的 “Paint it Black”；还有后续的二张12寸唱片sampler合辑。喜欢的朋友可以到Hospital医院网页收听单曲片段和订购。

你也可以在此下载／收听London Elektricity和一班艺人共同收录的Hospital特别播客”SickCast”特别节目。选播单曲曲目如下：

After much talk and anticipation and even some skepticism amongst Shanghai’s DnB community, it appears that our Japanese comrades did not let us down. With DJ Aki spinning the decks and Stamina MCing, this was definitely an amazing way to start of 2009 with the first sweatshop of the year.

Right from the start of the set the sound was promising, playing an array of many different styles, staying close to the energetic sounds of sambass (Brazilian influenced dnb), liquid funk, and a occasionally bringing in a much needed chill break sound of dubstep. A nice mix of some dnb classics as well as some fresh tunes, the dance floor kept jumping through the night.

Accompanying this samurai of a Selekta, Stamina MC also did not fail to disappoint, keeping the crowd pumped with his melodic voice as well as amazing lines in the usual Stamina way. And of course, what night with Stamina wouldn’t be complete without an amazing rendition of Barcelona (which I must say was my personal highlight of the night).

All and all, it was a raving night. With an energetic crowd, a great MC and Selekta pair, and a whole case of good tunes, there was so much energy we nearly blew a fuse .

Don’t forget to check out DJ Siesta & Stamina MC + the phreaktion crew next Friday the 23^rd.

STAMINA MC (”LK”, DJ Marky’s trusted MC)

Entry: ¥50 (Free before 11pm | 11点前免费入场)

Supports: Siesta, Viceroy, Abruzzi Spur, MC Didje

To kick start this year’s Sweatshop drum’n’bass goodness, Sweatshop is proud to bring Japan’s #1 D&B selekta, DJ Aki, of Tokyo’s renowned establishment “WOMB”. Providing mic control are Stamina MC and our very own MC Didje. Don’t miss out the chance to see how our dnb comrades do it next door!

2009年开张吉利，Sweatshop为你带来日本第一的鼓打贝司总司令，DJ AKI！在东京赫赫有名的夜店Womb担任鼓打贝司驻场DJ已经数年，他的成功故事绝非偶然。除了身为日本鼓打贝司的亲善大使之外，他也以ES9之名发行了多张单曲，更是日本第一位发行dnb mix cd的人物。

AKI的打碟功力在世界乐坛上众口皆碑，紧密的舞曲连接常常令舞迷们兴奋的喘不口气。这次在华首次演出，一定得亲身试验！

临近圣诞 欣喜之余不免感叹自己被蹉跎的人生 幻想着在漫天飞雪的时候 装扮成舞会皇后 穿越人头攒动的舞池。
善解人意的SIEASTA率领着SWEATSHOP全体帅哥成员 装扮了一向走黑暗路线的SHELTER 召唤所有森林动物们 参加一场白色的浪漫约会。

于是动物们的衣柜就通通不够用了 为了梦想中完美的X’MAS BALL 准备工作一直是紧锣密鼓的进行着。
挑选 推翻。再挑选 再推翻。按奈不住的兴奋心情。

终于到了美美登场的时刻 却惊讶于SWEATSHOP的用心良苦 白色的大门 白色的屋顶 优雅的白色锻带把SHELTER修饰得温柔又美丽，搭配各路神仙笔挺的西装和各式绝美的礼服 让人恍惚感觉 这才是梦想中的BALL 也许作为圣诞的预演 再合适不过。

当晚虽然没有神秘嘉宾助阵 但感觉更像是上海DNB CREW的圣诞家庭聚会 大家亲密的交谈 或者疯狂的跳舞。DJ SIEASTA当晚一袭性感低胸长裙 美丽而优雅 一如既往的征服了大家的理智 她精心安排的圣诞礼物让大家又再次经历一遍 母性DRUM’N'BASS的魅力。至于我们的万人迷MC Charlie 更是变身”黑马王子” 黑色西装 黑色礼帽 以及黑色蝴蝶领结 加上他独特的RE式唱腔 为大家唱响了欢乐的圣诞颂歌。

如果可以 就让这样的夜晚一直持续到圣诞来临 当我们走出舞会 会有雪橇和麋鹿 在外守侯 也许还会看到 疯狂跳舞的 圣诞老人天空开始泛白的时候离开了这个梦想中的舞会 耳边的回响还久久不肯散去 就像大家的心情还依然留在觥筹交错的舞会上。
