‘Thrill’ is set for release on January 25^th.

A High Contrast history

Started in 2005, the first release on High Contrast Recordings was ‘Dark Side of The Moon’ by Ernesto vs. Bastian. A brilliant start to say the least, as the single became an international hit record and was even chosen by Jude Jules as ‘anthem of 2005’.

It’s not always easy to have a hit record to start with, but High Contrast Recordings showed not to be a one-day fly. It has established itself as one of the leading labels with other ‘classic’ releases such as: ‘Advanced’ by Marcel Woods, ‘Top Gear’ by Rank 1, ‘What You Need’ by Nic Chagall and ‘Life Less Ordinary’ from Alex M.O.R.P.H. & Rank 1 to name but a few.

High Contrast Nu Breed

High Contrast Nu Breed is a new label, but with the same philosophy and strategy as High Contrast recordings; releasing quality music. High Contrast Nu Breed will feature nu upcoming artists, but can also be a home for artists with international fame. Basically there are no differences between the labels music wise, as it’s all under the High Contrast flag and philosophy.

First release is from Finland with talented producer Anton Sonin teaming up with AMX and vocalist Sari entitled ‘Undone’. To celebrate the first release, the legendary Rank 1 returns on top form with their first remix after a while. And a fine remix it is, to say the least!  The single has already support from: Armin van Buuren, Tiësto, Rank 1, Nic Chagall and others.

Street date is set for February 5^th
