High Contrast
Buffalo Bar
10th December
By Thea Wise
At first sight, Buffalo Bar was more reminiscent of a school disco than a setting for one of Cardiff’s trendiest born and bred high profile DJ’s… I for one certainly wasn’t convinced.
But as the clock dragged its hand slowly passed eleven, the students and music fans alike began to leisurely shuffle towards the front of the stage. High Contrast’s support DJ was a guy called Jemal, who began to lucratively wet our appetite for what was to come. As the volume amplified, the raising of hands became a regular sight and occurrence.
When Mr High Contrast finally took centre stage, his audience was more than welcoming. To the fans amusement, Lincoln Barrett (aka High Contrast) was in a cracking mood with a beaming smile on his face.
Blessing our ears with some of the paramount beats and drops of the noughties, it really took me right back to being in the dance village at Glastonbury Festival 2009.
Big artists of 2010 made a prime appearance too, with mixes from Deadmau5, Ellie Goulding and Jakwob. It was definitely one of the best sets I’ve seen of his to date. Not only was he clearly looking and feeling fresh for the year ahead, he constantly titillated his audience with excitement and glee in a way only he knows how.
The sound was a tad dodgy at times, but this didn’t influence anyone leaving the room until his time was up. People left buzzing, chatting about the lucid flow between tracks and how High Contrast can make even the worst Oceana tunes transform magically into dubstep delight!
Overall, I don’t see the success and creativity of Lincoln Barrett fading anytime soon, 2010 looks like it’s going to be another triumphant year!
