EPISODE 46: HIGH CONTRAST

High Contrast aka Lincoln Barrett released his first record in 2001 and has since gone to be one of the worlds biggest Drum & Bass producers - Grammy nominated and with 6 studio albums to his name, a wealth of high-profile DJ sets and some of the most prestigious collaborations and remixes ever made - including Adele, Kanye West, Missy Elliot, Tiesto, FSOL, MJ Cole, The Streets and many more.

His latest album 'Notes From The Underground' traces his jungle roots with a fresh take on the sparse and sample-heavy tracks which inspired him in the early days. He is the first voice you hear in the Trainspotting 2 film, having released the incendury 'Shotgun Mouthwash' for it's soundtrack.  He's a really down to earth guy with an admirable outlook and 'no-boundaries' approach to musical exploration.
