OUT NOW: ‘Spectrum Analyser’

Monday, February 11th, 2013

After delivering some of 2012’s most iconic music, High Contrast returns with another superb single to get 2013 off to a cracking start.

First up, we have the awe-inspiring “Spectrum Analyser” with its immense intro that artfully pairs a driving, mechanical tone with bleepy 8-bit SFX. Flipping over for “Some Things Never Change”, this one is full of nostalgic undertones and drifting melodies. With a vintage sound reminding you exactly why you love High Contrast so much, “Some Things Never Change” remains true to its title.

“The Road Goes On Forever” EP – OUT NOW

Tuesday, August 28th, 2012

It is no longer a secret that High Contrast has been busy working on a truly monumental project this summer. Since the release of his fourth artist album “The Agony & The Ecstasy” earlier this year, he has been locked in his studio at a secret HQ in a recently re-developed area of East London, preparing what has inevitably become the soundtrack to our summer in the past two weeks of sporting success.

Taking the tempo down to 120bpm, High Contrast’s digital-only “The Road Goes On Forever EP”, is aimed at fans and collectors alike. Featuring a blend of new material, re-workings of tracks from “The Agony & The Ecstasy” and the original D+B version of “The Road Goes On Forever”, the EP is full of driving rhythms, optimistic melodies and energetic dynamics. Opening with the 120bpm version of “The Road Goes On Forever” with its marching beats and iconic hook, we are taken through a range of different moments suiting a long parade, right through to the soulful, inspiring tones of “The Long Way Home”.

The tracks on the “The Road Goes On Forever EP” were aired across the world to millions of listeners for the first time on Friday 27th July and will no doubt have a long lasting impact as we look to the future and continue to remember the legacy of summer 2012.

High Contrast in Olympics Opening Ceremony

Friday, July 27th, 2012

Two and half months ago I got an incredible phone call. It was from Underworld.  I have been a huge fan of them for many years and more recently have had the honour of being musical collaborator with them. On this occasion, they rang to ask me to get involved on their current, very epic musical mission…the London 2012 Olympic Opening Ceremony.

I obviously jumped at the chance and moved over to London for the duration, working relentlessly on the part of the show they wanted me to help out on – the Athletes Parade. It was a very specific brief, something as a lone D+B producer I’m not used to doing, but was a wonderful challenge to have. Drum + Bass wasnt really on the cards for this, it was more just my uplifting, melodic vibe that was needed.

It’s been an incredible experience working alongside Underworld and their whole team, for which I can never thank them enough. I’ll post a full report next week.

For the time being, you can watch the Opening Ceremony again over on BBC iPlayer (or click the image below!)
