The early beginning of Dirty Hospital can be placed back in 1989 when two brothers, Steven AKA Rob Otnik and John AKA John Hospital got their hands on a second hand Kawai 50e drum machine, taking the place of their Casio MT100 keyboard.
Dirty Hospital was truly born in summer 2000 during some Bis (band/day job) down time, with Steven and John keen to lay down some straight down the line electro. The sound was a Detroit/Berlin/Rave mega-mash. Since 1996, the sounds of UR, Direct Beat and Gigolo inspired the dirty doctors into DJing electro and techno, and further embrace the sound of the drum machine and the synth bass in their music.
The first DH release 'Rottenrow' came in 2002 on Radioactive Man's label Control Tower. In 2004 the first of the 'Quickness, Sickness, Death' trilogy appeared on Rottenrow Records - 'The Quickness Of Dirty Hospital', the next two landing in subsequent years.
The current Dirty Hospital sound appears like some kind of italo-germanic electrotechno bass fight, as will be evident with the imminent release of the 'Cryobox' EP on Chan'N'Mikes records.

A dj mixed session by Joaquin Jimenez (Free Download)
This time Joaquin takes you on a journey through the real Tech House, the house version of techno, the techno version of house. Moody, deep, dark but happy and with this feeling that makes your mind take your body on a dance. Contrary to popular belief, Tech House wasn't born with the current wave of minimal and techno. It was first heard at the beginning of the 90s as an urban electronic kind of expression wich Joaquin knows how to handle very well. Being a long time lover of real Tech House, there is no better guide for this journey than Joaquin himself. Come have this experience and join Joaquin in bringing back the original feeling of Tech House!
THIS THURSDAY 27th AUGUST - NICE'N'SLEAZY - 11.30/3 - $2/3
This Thursday we welcome the mighty DJ Chakka Chakumaki down to our monthly at Sleazys bringing with him the finest dubstep in Glasgow and making his return to the basement after his own club there ended because the plates in the Loon Fung next door were rattling off the tables! We're doing our best to provide plenty of bass and will be bringing down our (as yet unnamed) rig for support - you can see it pictured below with Jerome behind the decks at the Midgefest free party (I think at about 10am). The usual residents Thomson, Thomson & Thompson will play an eclectic mix of Reggae, Jungle, Techno, Breakcore, Dub and everything else in between.
