In 1996 London Elektricity was the recording moniker of Goss and Colman, and formed the centre of the roster. Following the release of their debut Pull the Plug in 1999, the label began to gain visibility. The first Outpatients compilation (2000) included appearances from Landslide, Marcus Intalex and Aquasky, and the diverse mixture of jazz- and disco-influenced house, UK garage and breakbeat gained attention beyond the drum and bass community, attracting DJs like Gilles Peterson.

In 2001, Hospital signed Welsh producer High Contrast: he followed his debut with a series of strong releases and a well-received LP in 2002, which helped push the label to the forefront of the scene. In 2003 London Elektricity released a second album; Chris Goss had departed the project but Tony Colman drew in a range of musicians and vocalists and turned the project into a live band. This once more crossed the boundaries between drum and bass, breakbeat, garage, and jazz.
