Penarth, Wales (2000 – present)
As a 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.

First Note Is Silent is so over-produced it's painful... Fearful Symmetry is a much better track anyway

Last night I saw Above & Beyond and they also had a Drum n Bass room, they dropped his remix of Calvin Harris's Ready For The Weekend, absolutely loved it. So, if I were to get into this dude, what should I start on?

This song will definitely be a grower, that's for sure.. But I am biased for Karl Hyde's vocals, even if they're autotuned a little bit.
