Hospital, London, UK
Tony Colman (London Elektricity, Hospital Records) has been working hammer and tongs at tunesmithery since day one. In 1988 this Tottenham lad and his jazz funk band IZIT spent their last 200 quid(£) to press up a batch of vinyl; and Tony's been hooked on running independents ever since. Another Tottenham crew, known as Shut Up And Dance, turned him on to faster flavours - and in '95 he and Chris Goss debuted their own brand of fast soul for the junglist massive. Tony's still pushing forward, using his platform to break new sounds and live formats.
