As a DJ, High Contrast mirrors his reflective production approach by finding the fine balance between the chaos of a heaving dancefloor and the serenity of at-home listening. His eclectic sets are a true antithesis to the criticism that drum `n' bass is jarring and redundant.

High Contrast's DJing style is especially highlighted on FabricLive 25 - a warm, glittery mix that provides a vivid snapshot of some of the genre's most exciting artists. It explores the wide varieties of DnB from the smooth, sunny "Restart" by DJ Marky, Bungle & DJ Roots to the turbulent, thunderous beats of Sparfunk & Joe Solo's "Rapture." The mix is pushed forward by classic rolling basslines from Blame, swept by stunning melodies on Klute's celestial "Hell Hath No Fury," and infused with Miami breaks and bass on "Ghetto Blaster." It ends with High Contrasts' own "Days Go By," a palpable wave of soul and emotion that brings the things to a delicate close as it slowly fades to black.
