why it's so fitting that Danny Howells first "Totally Funked" party was
held in celebration of Prince's birthday. While the DJ/producer may
often be lumped in with the progressive house scene, his love of pop
music is undeniable.
But back to those progressive house beginnings
for a moment: Things first started for Howells in 1992 after a friend
gave one of his mix tapes to John Digweed, who then approached him to
become a weekly resident at Bedrock in his home town of Hastings. It
was this residency that led Global Underground to tap him as part of
the Nubreed and award him a mix slot in 2000 that pushed his career
into overdrive, as he racked up residencies in Nottingham, New York and
London on top of his punishing DJ schedule around the world.
A
number of other compilations for GU, Azuli and Renaissance followed, as
well as studio collaborations with Dick Trevor as Science Department.
But he's hardly lost his touch: His most recent mix for Renaissance has
deeply melodic inclusions from Sven Weisemann and Lawrence nestling
alongside techier cuts from Joris Voorn and Santiago Salazar. For his
RA podcast, though, as we alluded to above, he chose to go a little bit
poppier. We caught up with Danny by e-mail to chat about the mix, his
Dig Deeper label and trying to stay sober on New Year's Eve.
