LUTMx — mix for Victory Beats

In this mix, I aimed to capture the essence of the war in Ukraine. It starts off with vibrant and optimistic tunes, reflecting Ukraine before the war and the russian invasion — a nation on a fast track to development and filled with potential.

Then, the mood shifts to darker and deeper beats, echoing russia's annexation of Crimea and the Donbass region. These deeper, more somber sounds carry on through the mix, hinting at the long-standing tensions before the full-scale war really kicked off.As the mix progresses towards the end, the tempo picks up, illustrating the current intense war with russia and Ukraine's courageous fight against a much larger adversary. I specifically included a track by Yoxden that really captures this David versus Goliath battle.

The mix ends on a hopeful note with a track called 'Novyi Den’, representing Ukraine's victory and the reclamation of all its territories.

Glory to Ukraine, Glory to Heroes! Eternal remembrance to all the fallen soldiers and civilians. Together until victory!

London Elektricity — Ukraine mix Feb. 24

Tony Colman, better known as London Elektricity, is a formidable figure in the world of drum & bass. As the co-founder and CEO of Hospital Records and sister label Med School, he has played a pivotal role in shaping the genre we know today. Alongside being an accomplished producer and DJ, Tony is the mastermind behind the multi award-winning Hospital podcast, which has garnered a massive following.

London Elektricity has earned a first-class reputation through some of Hospital’s biggest anthems, including “Billion Dollar Gravy,” “Different Drum,” and “Just One Second.” His passion for drum & bass began in the 1990s, and since then, he has continued to evolve the genre. With an impressive discography of singles, EPs, remixes, six artist studio albums, and two live albums, London Elektricity is undoubtedly a legend in the D&B scene, boasting a global fanbase.

Early on, Tony’s debut album “Pull The Plug” was released on Hospital Records in 1999, followed by “Billion Dollar Gravy” in 2003 and “Power Ballads” in 2005. Between 2003 and 2005, he fronted London Elektricity Live, a remarkable project that featured jazz/soul legend Liane Carroll, vocalist MC Wrec, co-producer Landslide, and The Jungle Drummer. The Live performances took them around the world, and they even released two DVDs – “Live Gravy” (2005) and “Live At The Scala” (2007).

In 2008, London Elektricity returned to the studio to create his fourth studio album, “Syncopated City,” which was followed by album number five, “Yikes!” in 2011, featuring the vocal talents of Swedish vocalist Elsa Esmeralda. The latter was launched at the iconic Hospitality Brixton.

In 2014, Tony worked on an exciting project alongside S.P.Y and Diane Charlemagne, creating the soundtrack for the incredible Street Child World Cup in Rio titled “I Am Somebody.”

Between 2018 and 2022, London Elektricity continued to tour regularly and release new music, staying at the forefront of the drum & bass scene. However, in 2023, something special happened. The year saw the release of “Billion Dollar Remixes,” the 14th album by London Elektricity, released on Hospital Records. It was a 20th-anniversary version of the seminal “Billion Dollar Gravy” album from 2003. Additionally, the track “Vasquez” was released as part of the NHS 500 compilation.

2023 brought on some significant shows, including appearances at Let It Roll Festival (Czechia), Locus in Tulum, Mexico, Uava in Kyiv, Ukraine, Glastonbury Festival, Freedom Parade (Lodz, Poland), and Sun n Bass Festival (Italy).

As we look ahead to 2024, fans can anticipate a deluge of new music releases from London Elektricity on UKF, Metalheadz and Shogun and a USA tour in March. And of course he releasing this year on Hospital Records. There is an air of excitement not only among fans but also within the entire Drum & Bass community, as London Elektricity is set to treat them to something truly extraordinary. The anticipation is high, and everyone is eagerly watching this space!
