In the spirit of the Global Underground series, UK clubbing sensation
and rising star Danny Howells has tapped into the vibe of the southern
mecca and come up with a mix set for the sun, sexy people, and parties
by the beach. The mix, inspired by a Halloween night set in October
2004 at Miami clubbing institution Space, is a stunning blend of deep
house, funky grooves, and techno-influenced beats that encompasses all
that Miami has become known for in the global dance community. Howells
starts out the deep house journey on disc one which is highlighted by
Subway’s “Thermal”, Sneaker Pimps’ “Post Modern Sleaze”, and
Mimosa’s “End OF Me”, which Howells refers to as, “A pure sunshine
track, really beautiful.” On the second disc, he moves into a more
techno-minded mix with a combination of electro bleeps and effects and
ambient tracks that give the album an organic tone. Danny Howells has
risen to the top of the DJ ranks by focusing on one inescapable ideal…
if you play good music, you can’t go wrong. With Global Underground
27: Miami, Howells has definitely come through with an album that is
sure to please anyone who has ever dreamt of clubbing their asses off
in South Florida.-- review by Shawn Wallace
