Netsky album finally lands!


One of the most anticipated albums of the year so far, and probably one of the most anticipated Drum and Bass albums of all time has arrived in store! "Netsky" by Belgian super producer Boris Netksy looks set to propell him into the big time with his unique production and lush liquid D & B soundscapes. Netsky's sound has seen him find favour all across the Drum and Bass world, and his music has been played not just on the liquid favoured floors such as 'Hospitality' but also on many of the jump up and darker D & B floors.

Available on 14 track CD, with 2 tracks not featured on the illegally leaked promo version, this album for Hospital features a whole wealth of brand new unheard material, previously unavailable on any other Netsky release. The CDs have just dropped into our store, and will be available for official release from Monday 31st May.
