HIGH CONTRAST
HOSPITAL/SOUL:R/UK
The name
High Contrast needs no introduction anymore; though 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 d+b scene in no time at all.
His early
Hospital singles left no doubt that he would be a force to reckoned with on the dancefloor, and the massive
"Return of Forever" made every DJ's top 10 list in 2002. He followed this up with other huge singles such as
"The Basement Track", "Racing Green" and
"Twilight's Last Gleaming". 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 making him the remixer of choice for many labels inside and outside of the drum and bass community. It was his club sessions and his mixing skills that dominated the year since True Colours – with Lincoln making a name for himself as one of the hottest D&B djs around.
In autumn 2004 he dropped the massive
HIGH SOCIETY LP. The album has already become the stuff of legend, with Knowledge magazine voting it into there top 3 jungle albums of the last 10 years.
With film projects in the pipeline and some hot new tracks in production, it looks like there’s a lot more to come from this man
….when the lights go down!
