Synopsis

Album Description
High Contrast is one of the main players in the drum ?n? bass scene today ? reflected through his DJ sets, and the quality and originality of his productions. He entered the world of drum ?n? bass without pretence or warning, lighting up the scene with his dazzling tunes and irrevocable changes in composition. His imaginative singles and remixes find comfortable homes in the record boxes of the scene?s most notable DJs, and influence other DJs across the musical spectrum. As a DJ, High Contrast mirrors his reflective production approach by finding the fine balance between the chaos of a heaving dancefloor and the serenity of at-home listening. His eclectic sets are a true antithesis to the criticism that drum ?n? bass is jarring and redundant. High Contrast?s DJing style is especially highlighted on FabricLive 25 ? a warm, glittery mix that provides a vivid snapshot of some of the genre?s most exciting artists. It explores the wide varieties of DnB from the smooth, sunny "Restart" by DJ Marky, Bungle & DJ Roots to the turbulent, thunderous beats of Sparfunk & Joe Solo?s "Rapture." The mix is pushed forward by classic rolling basslines from Blame, swept by stunning melodies on Klute?s celestial "Hell Hath No Fury," and infused with Miami breaks and bass on "Ghetto Blaster." It ends with High Contrasts? own "Days Go By," a palpable wave of soul and emotion that brings the things to a delicate close as it slowly fades to black.

CD Reviews

Solid mix - 3.5 stars
J. R. Perkins | Denver, CO USA | 01/25/2006
(3 out of 5 stars)

"High Contrast is one of my favs, so when I see something from him, I get it, no questions asked. This mix doesn't dissapoint. At first you recognize a few tracks that you love immediately, and then others start to run through your head. Before you know it you're digging nearly the whole mix. There are some monotonous filler tracks, but the majority of this disc are new tracks by well-known d'n'b players, aka klute, cyantific, london elektricity. There's a great Jenna G track too, and there isn't a "feat. " in front of her name. At the end of the disc HC includes one of his own, a remix of Stevie Nicks' "Edge of Seventeen". I don't think the remix is quite as exciting as the original, and it kind of drones on in a trancy marathon pace. Regardless, I don't think you'll be let down ... this is another HC winnner."
One of the Best

"Phenomenal. Period. Mr Barrett has produced a classic. From track one to twenty, it never lets up or gives you a chance to ask why. One of my personal favorites was Life Rhythm by Logistics. It brings me back to better days for the scene. The records' mix is spot on. Jazz laden tracks in the beginning, female additions in the middle, and true bass rolling jungle at the end."
High Contrast : The Cream of The Crop

"This compilation is one of the best drum n bass mix's I've ever heard. It's so seamless and full of passion, not one dull moment. I'd totally recomend this to any junglist. Lincoln Barrett (the dj) is in my opinion the best dnb producers ever!"
