Tony Colman is today best known for his work as London Elektricity and the label he runs, Hospital Records. He has been working hard since day one, back in 1988 when his Tottenham-based jazz-funk band IZIT spent their last 200 pounds to press up a batch of vinyl.
As we found out at the 2003 academy, Tony has been hooked on running independently ever since. Another Tottenham crew, known as Shut Up And Dance, turned him on to faster flavours – and in ’95 he and Chris Goss debuted their own brand of fast soul for the junglist massive.
