Hugh Hardie's Hugh Hardie & Friends is out on Soulvent Records, with Apple Music giving 31 July 2026 as its release date. It runs to 4 tracks, filed under Jungle and drum and bass.
The release
The track list, in order, reads: 1. In Between (4:08); 2. Snakebite (3:44); 3. Got Me Trippin' (4:03); 4. East Coast Funk (Original) (3:43).
Taken together the release runs for about 16 minutes. That is long enough to hear properly in one sitting, and short enough to put on a second time.
The label
The copyright line on the Apple Music listing names Soulvent Records. Releases from independent labels are the core of drum and bass, and following a label is one of the best ways to find new records.
