HIGH CONTRAST [ Hospital Records | BBS ] - UK
High Contrast is young Cardiff-based dj/producer Lincoln Barret, one of the leading artists in the soulful drum+bass scene. His music fuses many styles, from deep jazz to soundtracks, garage to disco. Hospital unveiled the HC sound with 2 tracks, "What's The Story?" and "Suddenly", on the acclaimed compilation "Plastic Surgery" - one of the first projects to capture the new movement of deep and funky, vocal drum+bass. The High Contrast reputation has ceaselessly gone from strength to strength, making colossal waves in the drum+bass scene. In June 2002 Link's debut LP "True Colours" was released on Hospital to massive critical acclaim, with the singles 'Return of Forever' and 'Global love' nudging their way into the UK singles chart. He is currently juggling the demands of being one of the most in demand DJ's on the circuit along with a constant string of remix requests.


BOBBY JAE [ District Soul | DCDNB.org | Five | Shape ]
A luminary in the soulful drum and bass movement, Bobby Jae delivers his brand of deep, groovy beats to Saki in Adams Morgan. Mastering the sultry, sexy sounds of DC drum and bass, he never fails with his impeccable mixing and top-notch selection. Join him at Saki the last Thursday of every month to indulge your craving for sushi, sip on a drink, and lounge to steady soulful rhythms.
