Danny Howells

Back

Quietly ploughing his way through the house music continuum, Danny Howells remains one of the world's most captivating selectors.

In an industry defined by reinvention and relentless self-promotion, Danny Howells stands as a true anomaly. Dubbed “the DJs’ DJ,” Howells has resisted the gravitational pull of fleeting trends, holding firm to his artistic compass since his emergence on the global house music scene in the late ’90s. For Howells, it’s never been about churning out tracks to stay relevant or maintaining an incessant presence on social media. Instead, his career has been a masterclass in authenticity, driven by inspiration rather than obligation.

Unfazed by the industry’s need for reinvention, Howells has never felt compelled to adopt aliases or launch side projects to stay in the game. Nor has he chased a grueling DJ schedule to flood his calendar with bookings. Instead, he’s charted a quieter, more deliberate path through the house music continuum—one that has cemented him as one of the world’s most captivating selectors. As evident by his various compilations for Balance, Global Underground and more, his signature lies not just in his silky mixing and impeccable track selection but in his ability to craft a journey that feels timeless yet fresh.
