FabricLive 25 - High Contrast
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.
