Highly Contrasting

Highly Contrasting is a UK-based drum and bass label founded by the iconic producer and DJ High Contrast. Known for his genre-defining contributions since the early 2000s, High Contrast established the imprint as a dedicated platform for releasing his own music with creative freedom and uncompromising quality.

Launched as a vehicle for his artistic evolution, Highly Contrasting has become the exclusive home for many of High Contrast’s major projects in recent years. From anniversary editions of seminal albums like True Colours and High Society, to brand new ventures such as Restoration and the Anti/Thesis vinyl series, the label serves as both an archive and a future-facing outlet for one of drum and bass’s most influential figures.

While the catalogue primarily showcases High Contrast’s solo productions, the label has also explored key collaborations and remixes. Standout moments include Bou’s explosive rework of Kiss Kiss Bang Bang and the heavyweight remix of Return of Forever by Camo & Krooked and Mefjus. These releases demonstrate the imprint’s ability to blend nostalgia with cutting-edge reinterpretation.

With a focus on cinematic storytelling, rich musicality, and a distinct visual identity, Highly Contrasting reinforces High Contrast’s legacy while offering fans a curated experience rooted in quality and vision. As the label continues to evolve, it remains a testament to his enduring presence at the forefront of drum and bass.
