  1. High Contrast By Jared Davis

  2. Drum & Bass a genre that is characterized by fast breakbeats (typically between 160–180 bpm), with heavy bass and sub-bass lines.

  3. Liquid Funk a sub-genre of Drum and Bass where it uses similar bass lines and bar layouts compared to other styles, it contains fewer bar-oriented samples and more instrumental layers (both synthesized and natural), harmonies, and ambience.

  4. High Contrast One of the most recognized producers from this sub-genre hales from Cardith, Wales (United Kingdom.) “High Contrast seemingly overnight became one of the most discussed drum'n'bass producers in years. Not since the late '90s, when Goldie and Roni Size were recording full-length albums rather than strictly tracks, had there been so much hype thrown upon a drum'n'bass producer's shoulders.” – artistdirect.com
