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 out 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 sways beteween an italo-germanic electrotechno bass fight and melancholy moments on the shores of Orion.
