Since the release of his seminal debut, šTrue Colours› in 2002, he™s risen through the ranks to become one of the most sought-after DJs in the scene. His third studio album šTough Guys Don™t Dance› (2008) followed 2004™s šHigh Society›, and was succeeded by šHigh Contrast: Confidential›, a double-disc best-of compilation that fused the best of his own production with high profile remixes of The Streets, Adele and Basement Jaxx. *Returning in 2012 with his fourth artist album, šThe Agony & The Ecstasy›, High Contrast is set to reinstate his reputation at the top table with this superb twelve-track long player. *Featuring an extensive range of collaborators, from established, worldwide superstars such as Tiësto and Underworld to up-and-coming fresh new talent such as Med School signing Lung and Jessy Allen, this truly is an album of contrasts. Hospital ever present Liane Carrol, who you may recognise from London Elektricity live, aswell as Chase & Status / Breakage vocalist extraordinaire Claire Maguire and KidAdrift™s Selah Corbin also feature on the album. *High Contrast himself describes šThe Agony & The Ecstasy› as šmore personal› than any other album he™s made, so prepare to be moved with some heartfelt melodies as well as the uplifting anthems which have his signature sound written all over them and push him back into the spotlight. *Kicking off with the title track šThe Agony & The Ecstasy› (feat. Selah Corbin), which was debuted live with Annie Mac on Radio One, we are taken through some superb vocal-led cuts such as the spine-chillingly yearning šWish You Were Here› (feat. Selah Corbin), the stripped back, downbeat melancholy of šAlmost Human› (feat. Clare Maguire) as well as the previously released Radio One playlisted single šThe First Note Is Silent› (feat. Tiesto and Underworld). * Other highlights from across the selection include experimental cinematic interlude š238 Days›, the impassionate šEmotional Vampire›; things take a dark and twisted turn in šFather, Can™t You See I™m Burning?› before šAll There Is (feat. Liane Carrol)› brings the album to a close.
