Future Symptoms Vol 1. *RESTOCK*

£8.74 (£10.48 incl. VAT)

Served in doses of 4-track EPs, the A&R squad have been hard at work finding

fresh sounds and unique styles from the next generation of artists. Coming

through to make their mark on ‘Future Symptoms Vol.1’ are Winslow, Mozey

and Shady Novelle, Villem and Alpha Rhythm, Zeitgeist and Nia Archives.

Following up from his releases on Mitekiss & Mr Porter’s Goldfat imprint and Pilot

Records, rapid rank-riser Winslow sets things in motion with ‘Amore’ which

sees delicate pianos and trinkling ride cymbals flourish into a jazz-infused drum

& bass masterpiece. Snappy drums and Winslow’s very own vocals flare into

the limelight as he proves why he’s quickly progressing from one to watch to a

staple of the scene.

With releases on LiquidV, Souped Up, and Serial Killaz, Mozey steps up alongside

Shady Novelle with ‘Sometimes’. This floaty stepper warmed by Shady

Novelle’s vocals soon turns dark and dangerous when a fizzling bassline and

unruly drumwork take hold. This isn’t the first time this duo have done damage

in the studio - their release on DJ Zinc’s Bingo Bass imprint received support

from Rene LaVice on BBC Radio 1 in 2020.

Drum & bass master Villem paired up with one of his promising production students

Alpha Rhythm, who hosts his very own drum & bass podcast which racks

up thousands of weekly views. ‘The Maker’ is a treat for the senses - blissfully

atmospheric and equipped with hypnotic arpeggios and soothing pads, this

one is for the deep liquid heads.

Promising musical talent Zeitgeist and V Recordings’ EQ50 mentee, singersongwriter

Nia Archives lay down unparalleled vibes on ‘Move On’, as upbeat

guitar strums and feel-good trumpets pave the way for meticulously crafted

breakbeats and a hefty upright bassline. With both Zeitgeist and Nia Archives

claiming a healthy selection of self-releases, there’s no doubt these two will be

at the forefront of drum and bass’ next generation.

The future of drum & bass is looking stronger than ever. Hospital Records’ latest

‘Future Symptoms’ release series offers an insight into the ever-expanding

community, shining a spotlight on budding talents and future stars. Don’t sleep

on these names!
