Released: April 27
Label: Hospital
There is, of course, nothing confidential about High Contrast. He's graced more magazine covers than any d&b star with the exception of Goldie, and his unswerving dedication to trawling the country's clubs has ensured he is a household name in clubland.
Likewise, his remixes have been featured on the releases of artists as diverse as Adele, The Streets, Basement Jaxx and Missy Eliott - and the inclusion of 13 such mixes 9which forms CD2 of this collection), is a big selling point. Only one complaint - where is his astounding re-work of Kano's 'Reload It'?! A collectionm of former original glories, CD1 is perhaps less essential, unless you're simply curious about HC's work and yet to buy any. But that's not to take anything away from the glory of 'If We Ever' - the rave classic that never was - and the anthemic, wonky-riffed 'Basement Track'. While others have struggled after a decade to put together a decent album, HC is onto his greatest hits, and truly great it is too.
5/5
