Here's a question
How did you first get involved with Hospital Records?
Keep up the great work Tony
@ Verb - it isn't a rip off. It's a homage, which is pretty explicit in that I think in the second breakdown he directly samples a very short clip of a Burial tune. And Burial-style D&B? You think that isn't something a bit different? There are two types of innovation - doing almost totally your own thing within the scene (see: Calibre, Instra:mental), and merging styles and influences that haven't been brought together before (see: Emtpy Streets by Cyantific).
I've got a question for each artist:
Do you dye your hair and if so what's your favourite colour?
Tar ;)
When you heard one of your tracks would be included in the Sick music compilation, how did it influence your decision to make or choose a track?
In other words, did you try to make a particularly 'sick' sounding tune specifically for this compilation, or did you just a choose an already existing track for another high-quality Hospital comp?
Cheers for the podcasts Tony! Keep 'em coming...

Simple question really, do you prefer mcdonalds or would you rather hunt down a burger king whilst your on the move??
Have you ever felt the need to prostitute yourself to promote a new tune?
ta, Cheeky.
Can you ask Cyantific why they chose to rip off a mercury music award nominee? This is'nt original, just a bit of a shame in all honesty. I expect more from a label that promotes original music. Try again...
Cyantific ripping off Burial is sick. Breaking the mould? I think not. Not a hater, just dissapointed.
whats your all time favorite song?
To Tony,
Firstly I would like to say I am a big hospital fan, The new era of Hospitality at Matter has smashed it, cannot wait for the 3rd edition in July.
My question to all the Siick music artists,
If you could pick one tune, that constantly kills it off it a club, what would it be and why? Would this be a personal preference, or something that ever raver knows and enjoys?
I know it will probably get released on Marky's label, but Tapestry by Marky and Spy definetely needs more air time, or a short airing on your next podcast.
Keep up the good work, let the rhythm flow and the good times roll.
