Running an indie label for 30 years – Hospital Records founder Chris Goss on three decades as a cutting-edge drum 'n' bass label
<p><strong>Ep. 182: </strong>30 years of running an indie record label<strong> </strong>is a monumental milestone. We speak to Chris Goss about exactly that – three decades after he co-founded the highly influential jungle / drum and bass label Hospital Records. </p><p>Chris has lots to say about the "blood, sweat, and tears" required to stay independent for three decades; modern A&R and how Hospital balances a classic "gut feeling" with data; why drum n bass is currently enjoying its most prolonged "hot streak" in history; and the future of the label.</p><p>Founded in West London in 1996 by Chris Goss and Tony Colman, Hospital didn't start with an aggressive business plan. Today, Hospital stands as - possibly - the largest independent drum n bass label in the world. </p><p><strong>Hospital records:</strong> <a href="https://hospitalrecords.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">https://hospitalrecords.com/</a></p><p><strong>High Contrast:</strong> <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XoSscshAG-4">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XoSscshAG-4</a></p><p><br></p><p>------</p><p>👋 <a href="https://musically.lnk.to/knowledgepo">The Knowledge</a>, Music Ally’s free weekly newsletter: <a href="https://musically.lnk.to/knowledgepo">musically.lnk.to/knowledgepo</a></p><p>🎉 You may be eligible for a FREE Music Ally subscription, worth over £450/year, via our <a href="https://musically.com/subscription-options/">corporate and sponsored subscriptions</a>.
