In 2018, the music world enters a new phrase into its vocabulary: “boutique drum & bass holiday”. Taking to the beautiful white sands of The Garden in Tisno, Croatia, Hospital Records’ Hospitality brand will initiate the first Hospitality on the Beach on Thursday 12th July, the event running until the following Monday.

Set to combine British drum and bass sounds with a much more accommodating climate on the coast of the Adriatic sea, HOTB will showcase some of the label’s biggest artists under the big, blazing sun of the Mediterranean. The Garden has long been considered one of the best party spots in Europe, let alone Croatia, and plays host to Soundwave Festival, Dekmantel Selectors and Love International, to name only a small selection. Certain to prove similarly fitting for the DnB-focussed festival as well, The Garden will be the site of rapidfire beats from many of drum and bass’ most exciting artists, Hospitality having forged close collections from everyone from Chase & Status through to through to S.P.Y and My Nu Leng.

Started by London Elektricity in 1996, Hospital Records has been putting out the finest DnB for over two decades, and years of parties up and down the country have seen Hospitality refine their craft to become one of the most respected drum and bass event organisers. Festivals like Hospitality in the Park, held at Finsbury Park, and Hospitality In The Dock, at Tobacco Dock, have been popular additions to the London festival calendar, and 2018 will see expansion on the domestic front with Shockout launching in Shepton Mallet. Not content with growth on just one front, Hospitality On The Beach is another statement of intent from the most forward-thinking brand in drum and bass.
