Book Howard Donald

By then, Howard Donald was already known to jump any party – just to play behind the decks and get people dancing – and known as someone passionate about music. Even when trotting the globe throughout the nineties, he was never far from a set of decks – keen to do what he loved and get mixing. One thing is for sure: it’s been harder for Howard to earn his stripes as a DJ than for an unknown. The understandable preconceptions that surround a perennial chart topper-turned-DJ meant Howard Donald has had to stand head and shoulders above the rest. And he has.

There’s no other way to explain him earning sets at no nonsense clubs like Judge Jules’ [Radio 1] Judgment Sundays in Ibiza, or slots at underground clubs like Newcastle’s Digital, or Sheffield’s The Plug. Further afield he’s conducted parties from the booths of venues like Pacha – Munich, Beluga – Austria and Liquid – Switzerland to name a few. Those venues play host to various superstars like Sasha, Sander van Doorn, Utah Saints and Marco V, so the regular crowds expect nothing less. It’s safe to say, then, that Howard is taken seriously, and rightly so.

Like all true modern DJs, Howard Donald is also keen in the studio. 2008 saw him release ‘Going Home’ and he continues to work on other production projects, all of which are informed by his experiences playing to wised-up dance floors across the clubbing sphere. Those dance floors get swept away amongst the underground electro waves, and the slices of tech house, Howard expertly weaves. He keeps the energy of a floor high by building up and dropping all the right sounds, at all the right times. His keen ear picks him out the hottest releases from the dance scene du jour, takes in twisted electro and pulsing 4/4, all whilst steering him clear of commercial predictability.

Howard Donald is back to doing what he loves best; something he’s always wanted to do, and it shows. He’s right to be able to stand proud in dance music hotspots like London’s Ministry of Sound or Pacha, Birmingham’s Gatecrasher or Ireland’s Lush. He’s a DJ with proven credentials and limitless energy, and one you’d be wise to check out.
