London Elektricity, the legendary founder of Hospital Records, is back with a fresh and exciting project: Fast Soul Music. After nearly 30 years at the helm of the globally renowned Drum & Bass institution, he’s embarking on a new chapter that promises to push the genre’s soulful side to new heights.
As one of the most iconic figures in Drum & Bass, London Elektricity’s influence has been massive. From curating the sounds that defined Hospital Records to shaping the careers of many groundbreaking artists, his imprint on the scene is undeniable. With Fast Soul Music, he’s looking to create something new—something that draws on the depth and emotion that have always been central to his music, but with a fresh twist that reflects his current vision.
The label is set to launch with a bang, dropping its first single today (26th September), a collaboration featuring the unmistakable vocals of Doktor. And that’s just the start. Fast Soul Music will soon be rolling out collaborations with some of the biggest names and rising stars in the scene, including Catching Cairo, DJ Marky, Makoto, Zara Kershaw, Anile, and Elsa Esmaralda, to name a few.
“I’m excited about Fast Soul Music as an opportunity to focus on my two favourite things: making my own music, and collaborating with my favourite artists. We’ve got some amazing collabs lined-up with some incredible vocalists & producers, some of whom I’ve worked with for years, and others who I’ve only got to know in the studio over the last 6 months. It’s been an incredible 28 years running Hospital Records with Chris and the team, and I feel nothing but pride and joy when I think about the legacy we built alongside all the artists and staff along the years. Fast Soul Music gives me the opportunity to be the best version of myself in the studio, on the road and in real life! – London Elektricity
London Elektricity’s goal is to nurture a platform where artistry thrives, where both established and emerging talents can collaborate, innovate, and explore new soundscapes. The label will focus on high-quality productions that combine musicality with that unmistakable groove and emotion that have been the heart of London Elektricity’s career.
Fast Soul Music is poised to become a key player in the next chapter of Drum & Bass, and we’re here for it!
Check out the first single, London Elektricity x Doktor ‘Don’t Stop’, below. It dropped today (26th September) and is available for you to get your hands on here! The second release, London Elektricity x Catching Cairo ‘Always Golden ‘ drops on Thursday 31st October.
