High Contrast – Make It Tonight / Mermaid Scar

High Contrast – Make It Tonight / Mermaid Scar

Make It Tonight / Mermaid Scar showcases the melodic, soulful side of High Contrast, one of the most respected producers to emerge from the UK's drum & bass scene. Known for combining intricate breakbeats with lush melodies, atmospheric production and influences from soul, jazz and electronic music, High Contrast became a key figure in the evolution of the liquid drum & bass sound.

Make It Tonight delivers the kind of uplifting, rolling drum & bass that has become synonymous with High Contrast's productions. Melodic elements and crisp breakbeats are combined with a warm, energetic groove, creating a track that works equally well in a DJ set or as a standalone listen.

On the flip, Mermaid Scar takes a more atmospheric approach, demonstrating High Contrast's ability to balance rhythmic momentum with beautifully detailed electronic production. The track sits comfortably within the more soulful and cinematic end of the drum & bass spectrum, offering a contrast to the immediacy of the A-side.

High Contrast, the alias of Welsh producer Lincoln Barrett, became one of the leading names associated with the renowned Hospital Records scene. His music helped popularise a more melodic and accessible strain of drum & bass without losing the rhythmic complexity and energy at the heart of the genre.

For collectors of High Contrast vinyl, liquid drum & bass, jungle and UK electronic music, Make It Tonight / Mermaid Scar is a strong addition to any DJ collection. Recommended for fans of Hospital Records, London Elektricity, Calibre, LTJ Bukem and soulful drum & bass.
