RENAISSANCE: THE MIX COLLECTION – DANNY HOWELLS

RELEASE DATE: SEPTEMBER TBC 2008

LABEL: RENAISSANCE

Danny Howells is back after a three year hiatus from the mix CD arena, proudly resurrecting the legendary ‘Renaissance: Mix Collection’ series in his own inimitable fashion…

‘Renaissance: The Mix Collection’ began with THAT legendary mix from Sasha and John Digweed. The original presented a collection of music that wasn’t focused on current or unreleased tracks, rather something more tangible and longer lasting. Now the series returns, taking influence from its famed predecessor, whilst adding a surprising new element.

With all this in mind who better than Danny Howells to construct the mix. A DJ renowned for his unrivalled ability to tap into the vast, rich resources of House; a challenge he clearly relished, “I have utmost respect for Renaissance, having maintained the highest quality of product since their inception, and never letting that quality slip. Renaissance has, in my eyes, always stuck to what they believe in.” says Danny, “The end result is a lot deeper than I've done before... it’s a lot more melodic. It's all the music that I love…”

Danny also chose the Mix Collection to premier his first batch of original productions in over three years. In fact, this double disc contains no less than seven exclusive tracks, remixes and edits. The result is a timeless collage of sound that draws reference from Danny’s current dancefloor favourites, lost classics and his own original material – in short, a true Mix Collection!

This isn’t necessarily a mix for the club, the home or elsewhere, rather a timeless piece that could be enjoyed regardless of physical locations.
