This is What Hospital Records Radio on "Forza Horizon 2" Will Sound Like

Earlier this week, word hit the Internet that Rob da Bank has returned to curate the massive soundtrack for Microsoft's Forza Horizon 2. At over 150 tracks, the soundtrack is double the size of the first edition, and features material from a number of acts we love, as well as imprints we cover. Aside from Ninja Tune and Innovative Leisure getting in on it, Rob called on Hospital Records to craft their own radio station for the game, appropriately-titled Hospital Records Radio.

Earlier this week, word hit the Internet that Rob da Bank has returned to curate the massive soundtrack for Microsoft's Forza Horizon 2. At over 150 tracks, the soundtrack is double the size of the first edition, and features material from a number of acts we love, as well as imprints we cover. Aside from Ninja Tune and Innovative Leisure getting in on it, Rob called on Hospital Records to craft their own radio station for the game, appropriately-titled Hospital Records Radio.

In looking over the tracklist, I get those goosebumps like I did when GTA III hit us with Moving Shadow's MSX station. Pure drum & bass from one of the scene's finest? It screams my name—and I don't even own an Xbox!

While Hospital is 18 years young, the material on this station isn't older than 2010, but properly highlights the progressive nature of the imprint. From London Elektricity and Fred V & Grafx to Keeno and Reso, Hospital Records Radio showcases the evolving sound that falls under the Hospital umbrella. We found that the majority of the station's tunes are online (save for two Nu:Tone tunes and a Metrik track), but we decided to give you an idea of what you'll be hearing on this station when the game touches down.

Keeno - "Nocturne"

Label: Med School
Year: 2013

Word from Hospital is that this is the record playing during the "press start" screen, which hopefully means it's accompanied by beautiful scenery and detailed automobile shots. Calm before the storm music.

London Elektricity - "Yikes!"

Label: Hospital Records
Year: 2011

This might be THE tune to put on during a particularly gritty race. Full-on rivalry mode.

High Contrast - "The Road Goes On Forever"

Label: Hospital Records
Year: 2012

One of those epic building records that plays while you're analyzing a particularly mental track, thinking "what the hell did I select this course for?!"
