British electronic music artist High Contrast (aka Lincoln Barrett) has signed new multi-album recordings and publishing deals with 3 Beat.

Barrett is currently working on his first album for the label. A new EP, Save Somebody, will be released soon and follows the nationally playlisted single Remind Me. Barrett is also working on a new live show rumoured to debut in the UK this autumn.

3 Beat's Jon Barlow said: "Spending time with Lincoln in the studio is one heck of a fulfilling experience. He's a truly gifted and inspiring artist, excitable and passionate about every aspect of his work. It's a pleasure to be around that energy. I'm sure we've got the makings of one of the key electronic albums of recent (and future) years."
