There was a time I absolutely loved Howells. Last 4 or 5 times I’ve seen him he’s been zzzzzzzzzz

    Old-Dutch I agree. Totally lost the plot. His Glasto set from a couple of years back was shocking. Left the room pronto

      I remember howells played an open to close set in lush! on my birthday weekend. Must have been 02 or 03. He was sensational. Absolutely rocked it.

      alistair I remember ajos getting me on the guest list for the first or second one of those dig deeper nights. Absolutely top drawe

          I don’t think I’ve ever seen a brilliant Howells set.

          One his XOYO warm up sets for Diggers was dece tbf.

          His sets at The End were patchy as fuck.

          His 2007 essential mix is one of my favourites ever. I never had a bad time at the end. that I can remember

            Loved the way Howells dressed like a normal bloke then returns from the US looking like a young Keith Richards.

            benson I never had a bad time at the end. that I can remember

            Ain’t this the truth.

              Seem him a few times always taught he was decent finished a renaissance night in Amnesia around 02 and he was excellent, also seen him warm up for digweed in matter 09 and he brilliant

              Was there at that Amnesia night - he was class that night. Remember he played this

              Howells Burridge and Sander were all residents at Arc. Howells night was consistently the worst, with Kleinenberg’s being the best.

              i’ve only seen howells live 3 times, but he’s always been amazing. maybe helps he’s been in small rooms each time? i’m a bigger fan of his warm up stuff and his house-ier sets than when he bangs it out, but i’m hard pressed to think of a dj i’ve seen who’s been better technically.

                There was one time where he was booked to play this tiny venue called Anu in SF. Due to wildfires he couldn’t get a flight from LA. Drove up. Was very late, obviously, but when he got there he smashed the room. Just smashed it. His bigger room sets never worked for me. But stick him in the side room with a crowd who’s all in and he’s one of the best there is.

                  I’m amazed Howells has never been ‘The Biggest DJ in the World’ at some point. Never seen a bad set from him, always smashes it. Would go and see him ahead of an awful lot of other Djs.

                    If RA had their poll back in 02-04 I bet he would’ve come out on top.
