High Contrast overview


  • A recent winner of the Essential Mix of the Year 2007 on BBC's Radio 1, the name High Contrast needs no introduction, although when a young Lincoln Barrett signed on the dotted line back in 2000 he was a complete unknown. Signed on the strength of his mini-disc demos, the Welsh wonder has smashed his way through the Drum & Bass scene in no time at all. His debut longplayer "True Colours" was released on Hospital to massive critical acclaim in June 2002, paving the way for a move onto the outernational DJ circuit and remixer of choice for many labels inside and outside of the Drum & Bass community. It was the club sessions and mixing skills that dominated the year following the release of "True Colours" - with Lincoln making a name for himself as one of the hottest Drum & Bass DJs around. In autumn 2004 he dropped the massive "High Society" LP, featuring the anthemic singles "Twilights Last Gleaming" and "Racing Green". The album has already become the stuff of legend, with Knowledge Magazine voting it into their top 3 jungle albums of the last 10 years. More recently after reaching Drum & Bass superstardom he has released mix albums for Fabric and Mixmag and seen his White Stripes remix all over Radio 1. Missy Elliot and Blaze have also come knocking for a Contrast remix and the world's dance floors have been blown apart by that Gold Digger booty. read more

  • Confidential
    The new album from High Contrast (aka Welshman Lincoln Barrett) divides itself between the drum and bass star's original productions and his prolific work as a remixer. Having made his debut back in 2001, High Contrast has blazed a trail through the drum and bass scene, his performances on the decks earning as many plaudits as his work behind the mixing desk (including the Radio 1 Essential Mix of the Year award in 2007). His sound is undoubtedly slick but, as this album goes to show, it can be ...... read more

  • Watch the Ride: High Contrast
    Following hot on the heels of TC's decidedly lukewarm Watch The Ride compilation, Welsh drum & bass supremo High Contrast steps up to the plates to see if he can give back the buzz kick-started by hip hop aficionados, The Scratch Perverts, and fellow junglist-cum-breaks maestro, DJ Zinc, at the beginning of this new-ish Harmless series. Those who know HC - a stalwart of the Hospital Records stable – or have at least heard his True Colour and Tough Guys Don't Dance albums, will know what to e...... read more

  • High Society
    The world of drum 'n' bass can be a dark, dismal and overly-techy place for those with merely a passing interest. The stateside proliferation of mixes from the likes of Dieselboy and AK1200 have perpetuated the idea that the genre serves as a soundtrack for some sort of fucked-out 180 bpm apocalyptic wasteland. But drum 'n' bass doesn't need to reflect the rise of the machines, and fortunately, there are producers who don't feel inclined to fit into that mold. Their productions reflect diverse i...... read more

  • High Society
    Back in the last days of the 20th century, the post-apocalyptic jungle-scape did not look good. Floating on a soul cloud, high above the destruction, sat Lincoln Barrett, young, ambitious, Welsh and - at that point - short of hair. A wry smile played across his mouth as he helped fellow rebels of nonchalance (Marcus Intalex, Fabio, DJ Marky, Calibre, London Elektricity, 4 Hero, LTJ Bukem) deftly weave rays of sunshine into a coruscating musical rainbow that would act as a beacon for the soul...... read more
