Overmono & High Contrast - If We Ever *Pre-Order

Release Date Friday 14th November 2025
All pre-orders will be dispatched/made ready for collection on that day.

Overmono - aka brothers Tom and Ed Russell - are deep into their biggest summer yet. From headline festival appearances at Glastonbury (West Holts) - featuring special live guests Kwengface and For Those I Love - to All Points East, Boomtown, and Love Saves The Day, the duo have further cemented themselves as one of the UK’s most vital live electronic acts.

Their reimagining of High Contrast’s legendary drum & bass anthem “If We Ever” has become the defining sound of summer. First unveiled during their headline Love Saves The Day show, the track became a viral highlight following their Glastonbury set, with clips racking up millions of views on TikTok, YouTube, and Instagram, and fans flooding comment sections demanding an official release. The groundswell of energy caught High Contrast’s attention, prompting him to reach out. Its latest huge moment came at Boomtown, where it confirmed its status not just as the festival anthem of 2025 but as a track destined to echo through clubs and dancefloors long into the autumn, winter, and beyond.

Now, after months of anticipation, Overmono & High Contrast’s If We Ever gets a global digital release via XL Recordings’ iconic housebag series. The single premiered Tuesday 26 August - as BBC Radio 1’s Hottest Record where Tom and Ed said on the track “High Contrast used to work in this record shop in Cardiff called Catapult Records. We lived on the other side of the city, but Tom would go and buy records from him there all the time. I’m pretty sure it was the first record shop I went to after I bought Tom a voucher for his birthday one year. ‘Tough Guys Can’t Dance’ was one of those records that was just everywhere, we were all battering it, and “If We Ever” was the anthem. Ahead of summer this year, we started working on our own version of If We Ever just for fun, but the reaction was so wild, we ended up playing it in every set.”
