mstill11 Posted August 23 Report Share Posted August 23 BI-MONTHLY SATURDAY NIGHT RESIDENCY FOR DANNY HOWELLS AT TWILO Nu-Breeder Danny Howells is to become a new recideny at the New York club Twilo. The message comes really strange at a time when there are doubts about the venue's future. Rumour is that the club is due to be sold to the the guys at Home. The New York Times recently announced the death of a 21- year-old Twilo clubber, James Wiest, who reportedly lost consciousness inside the club and died later in hospital. The death comes at a time when Twilo is still fighting a two-year-old lawsuit brought by the Police Department's Civil Enforcement Division relating to a previous drug casualty allegedly connected to the club. Twilo said theyhad been making concerted efforts to eliminate drug dealing from the venue. Danny Howells is due to join Junior Vasquez for a bi-monthly Saturday night residency. Vasquez seems to have mellowed in his old age, having once been notoriously possessive of his DJ booth. He has had DJs - Tenaglia in the most scandalous incident - kicked out of his clubs who were just there to listen: actually sharing a night's billing is something of a first. A Twilo spokeman said: "Danny Howells is definitely one of the most exciting DJs in the world at the moment. We've been watching him for a while now and I believe the time is right for Danny to make his mark in New York. He's one of only a handful of DJs that could possibly work with Junior." Danny has recently launched his monthly Nocturnal Frequencies clubnight at Ministry Of Sound while his Global Underground Nubreed mix album is out on Boxed at the 28th of August. NEWS, Last Friday Cops busted 78 revelers and workers at some of the city's hottest nightclubs in a series of undercover raids aimed at the widespread sale of Ecstasy, police said. A small army of NYPD officers and drug-sniffing dogs swooped down at 11 nightspots, including the trouble-plagued Tunnel, late Friday night and early yesterday after club patrons and employees sold drugs to undercover narcotics cops, officials said. Among the clubs raided were: the Social Club, 302 E. 2nd St.; the Roxy, 515 W. 18th St.; Twilo, 530 W. 27th St.; Cheetah, 12 W. 21st St.; Ohm, 16 W. 22nd St.; Speed, 20 W. 39th St.; Exit, 610 W. 56th St.; and the Sound Factory, 618 W. 46th St. The operation's largest seizure was at Vinyl, at 6 Hubert St., where seven patrons and two employees were arrested and over $13,000 cash and several hundred pills of Ecstasy were seized.Hope that Danny is able to chill the city of NY a bit....

mstill11 Posted August 23 Author Report Share Posted August 23 More info on Howells:DJ Danny Howells in Manila on May 12 05/11/2000 Philippine Daily Inquirer Copyright © 2000 Philippine Daily Inquirer; Source: World Reporter DANNY Howells is undoubtedly one of the United Kingdom's scene's brightest stars. An apprenticeship of nine years served by playing with the likes of Sasha, Digweed and Whitehead has finally propelled him into the upper echelons of deejaydom. A position at No. 16 in DJ Mag's top 100 DJ poll has signaled his arrival on the world stage. Danny's refreshingly original style of sexy, deep and funky futuristic tech/tribal/progressive house, combined with his silky smooth mixing abilities, has taken him all over the world as well as establishing him with residencies at some of the UK's best clubs. He is currently a stalwart at Renaissance, The Ministry of Sound and Bedrock. Danny has aired his talents on numerous mix albums in the UK, Holland and the United States. He is currently putting the finishing touches to "Nocturnal Frequencies II," his own critically acclaimed mix series, which has carved a niche for Danny's forward thinking and intelligent selections. There is also an album in the pipeline for Israel as well as a "Nu Breed" mix for Global Underground. Things are heating up in the studio where Danny and his compadre, Dick Trevor, are forging some serious tunes under the banner of "Science Department." The first offering, "Repercussion/Persuasion," was the tune of the month in Ministry, Mixmag and seven magazines, and has paved the way for some even bigger projects in the pipeline. Their next track, "Breathe," is currently being courted by several of the world's coolest labels. Danny has also been busy on remix duties for BT (Pioneer), David Morales (Azuli) and Coco & Stonebridge (R&S). This year can only get better for Danny as he becomes recognized as a true star and breathes a blast of fresh air into an otherwise stagnating pool of club icons.

lightinggirl Posted August 23 Report Share Posted August 23 ...interesting......it's pretty unnerving to think about the drug busts at the clubs that we all frequent..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lordgalactus Posted August 23 Report Share Posted August 23 This can only breath new life into Junior. If she is sharing the stage with Howells, the only thing that can come out of this is a healthy competition. WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nolimit Posted August 23 Report Share Posted August 23 Its not like they're going to be sharing the same booth. Danny will simply play downstairs from 12-5 and Jr will take over from his booth upstairs from then on. I think it's a great marketing scheme to get clubbers in early on Saturday nights. It's usually ghost town before Junior gets on. Howells is one of my favorite djs of the moment. He played Twilo twice in the past and rocked it both times. His nubreed is out in a few days and I highly recommend it for those that like the dark, tribal, progressive sound. Danny is about to blow up on the global scale. Enough of being under the shadow of Diggers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
