Throb

Danny Howells debuts on Rekids with the 'Throb' EP. The legendary DJ's first EP for Radio Slave's imprint sees him pair with keyboard player Elliott Herrington.Howells, a quietly revered figure in house music since the mid 90's, delves deep across the 'Throb' EP, which celebrates subtle drum programming, otherworldly keys and soundscapes throughout. The warmth of 'Throb', a track which tips the smallest of nods to Danny's role in the heyday of progressive house, was born out of a late-night studio session - long forgotten about and then rediscovered, re-appraised, as so many great tracks are. 'Thrunk', another supremely heady cut, follows and sees keys slide around the mix, modulated and tweaked just enough to create a constant feeling of movement without losing balance, firmly rooted by a bassline that Howells, contrary to his usual practice, wrote first.Danny Howells is a darling of British dance music. Emerging in the late 1990s with the likes of the era-defining Jackpot Records, his journey in dance music has always been about music, which has seen him eschew frantic touring and production schedules in favor of doing what he loves. Famous, for those in the know, as Cassy's favorite DJ, Howell's deft touch and subtlety as a DJ and Producer are evident in spades on 'Throb'.Tracklisting:A. ThrobB. Thrunk
