High Contrast 'Shotgun Mouthwash' (Jungle remix) (3 Beat)
Appearing on the same billboard as Iggy Pop and Blondie for the Trainspotting 2 soundtrack caused even the masterful Lincoln Barrett to gush with wonderment on Twitter. The vocals, keys, lead and bass guitars on this arresting bluesy stomper are all his, but it’s the remix’s final moments that underscore High Contrast’s deserved status as a genuine craftsman. Check the way the white noise and off-camera squeals of the original track shimmer effortlessly amid the classic jungle breakbeats and warm bassline nudges. Sequencing to die for from a one-off artist and remixer with jungle in his blood.
