Legendary DJ Danny Howells Makes Annual Appearance at RISE, 11.5.11

No introduction necessary. If you like ANY kind of house music, just go. Howells will be commanding the decks the entire night at RISE (306 Stuart St, Boston).

Danny Howells by Buddhalicks

Not only is RISE Howell’s favorite place to play in Boston, but is also the only club that is open to his multi-hour set format (which needs to be heard from start to finish to be appreciated). From 1am to 7am Howell’s music will be heard on both floors, and anyone who expects to be taken on a musical “journey” will not be disappointed. The last time I saw Howells was in early 2010, his set easily making it into the top five I was lucky enough to be present for that year. Tonight will be no different for me personally.

UMEK Makes Debut Appearance At Rise, 5.29.11. Free Ticket Giveaway

UMEK is a music making machine. He has around a decade and a half of experience under his belt, creating everything from edgey, abrasive techno to sleek and sterile minimal grooves. There are easily a hundred 12” singles in his back catalogue, and probably just as many remixes on top of that. With this frequency and experience, there’s no surprise that his name is a frequent on the Beatport charts. Despite how quickly those change, UMEK always manages to outdo himself, replacing last weeks content with something brand new about as fast as a printed newspaper. 

Needless to say, it’s an honor to have him make his Boston debut. And not only that, but he will be alongside Terry Mullan (who is also a headliner status producer/DJ from Chi-town) and the Funky Splunkers (Jordan Jaser Kane & Randall) in the lounge.

And thanks to our friends at Rise, I have one ticket to give away! Same drill as all our other contests on here. Leave your name and email address in the comments section to this post. At Friday 9am sharp, I draw the lucky winner, so you have 48 hours to tag this post. Good luck to all who enter.

Tittsworth at Goodlife & Danny Howells at Rise Afterhours, Tonight 5.14.11

Two major events happening in downtown Boston tonight, with two individuals headlining who need absolutely no introduction whatsoever.

First up: Createspace Collab, Banana Peel and PBR are hosting Tittsworth, along with a slew of guest local DJ’s tonight at Goodlife. Tittsworth hasn’t been to Boston in over a year now, and with quite an ecclectic taste in cutting edge dance music, you never know what type of stuff he is going to play. (When I last saw him at Felt in ‘09, he actually played almost entirely drum and bass!) 

And if you like PBR, you will like the fact you got there early. Free beer, as well as free fruity freeze pops (to coincide with the Sweet Shop theme) but if you snooze, you lose. I love these food-themed Goodlife parties, by the way. Promoters, keep em coming.

Alongside Tittsworth, all the Banana Peel guys are representing (Doctor Jeep, Fens, Elkid, and Mzungu). Additionally, Matt McNeil, Lacey, Kat Fyte, and DuPont (from Providence) will be throwing down ecclectic stuff upstairs as well.

Secondly: Danny Howells at Rise. Again, no introduction necessary whatsoever. He is a staple of Rise for years, and probably the ONLY DJ they let play the entire night, from start to finish. This is really the only way to book him proper, as he is a journey set DJ. You really need to be there for at least 3 or 4 hours to fully appreciate what he does. He’ll be broadcast in the downstairs lounge additionally, so if George Clinton were to write about this event, he’d simply state “Two floors, under a groove.” 

When I saw Danny play last year it was one the top three sets I heard from a DJ for all of 2010.

Starting out as a prominent drum n’ bass DJ in the late 90s, Dare learned how to vary his style to keep winning over crowds for the next 10 years and became known as one of the most compelling locals DJs thanks to his dark electro mixes.

So Dope All Nighter- D.Star, Jay-K, C&G, Damian Paul, at Rise, 3.26.10

RISE & So Dope present…

DJ.DSTAR http://www.myspace.com/djdstar

opening: Jay K the DJ & Damien Paul
lounge: C&G

In an attempt to revitalize the party scene in his hometown of Buffalo, dj.dstar quickly gained the reputation of the most versatile DJ in Buffalo, throwing a series of genre-melting club nights throughout the city. Bringing a vast knowledge of club music from across the world, dj.dstar is confident he can rock any party, playing a selection of Hip-hop, Dancehall, Electro, House, Baltimore Club, Mash-ups, World Music, Miami Bass, and much more.

Holding residencies to many of Buffalo’s best clubs, DJing at many of the cities underground parties and developing his own flavor of remixes gives dj.dstar the reputation of one of the cities most established DJs.

“This oft-remixed, otherwise pleasantly unremarkable Keyshia Cole track gets a sped-up, minimalist redo by DJ DStar, who strips it down to its thumping bass line.” - The Washington Post

Winner of “Best of Buffalo” (Hip-Hop) alongside Chae Hawk in 2007 - The Artvoice

“Don, aka DJ.dstar, obviously knows a thing or two about what gets a party hopping..” - ELLE Girl Magazine

“DStar incorporates different music from house to hip hop, intertwining ?80s classics and underground favorites with other genres that you don?t even know what exactly to call, but to which you can?t help but want to dance. It?s not hip-hop, and it?s not rave shit?it?s just good shit.” - University of Buffalo’s “Generation” 

So Dope's All Nighter Brings Joaquin to Rise, Tonight 1.22.10

Its pretty safe to say that we fucked 2009 in the ass with a roll of quarters.
It was hurt it was bleeding, it was crying in the end. 
The only thing 2009 had going for it, is that its not 2010,
because 2010 will not live….to cry.

WITH THAT SAID: here we go.

FRIDAY JAN 22ND : WE RETURN TO RISE, WITH ANOTHER OF LOS ANGELES’S MOST DOMINANT DANCE FORCES. 

Enter : Joaquin

Its pretty impressive when you never DJ a night under 1600 people. Its also pretty impressive when you DJ with the likes of Steve Aoki, Le Castlevania, Adam Freeland, Will Bailey, Villains, A1 Bassline, Designer Drugs, and Jack Beats… just to name a few.

But..

The most impressive thing is, when you are a real enough dude, to recognize that SO DOPE is a night YOU HAVE TO PLAY.

8hr flight.. thats right.

From his early years of DJing at Bedrock nights in his home town of Hastings, to the 10+ hour sets in New York today, one thing remains the same - a complete love of all music. It’s this passion and plenty of hard work that has helped Danny to get where he is today. It’s no coincidence that he’s been placed in DJ Magazine’s top 20 DJs in the world for the last 3 years. Danny has a unique, eclectic sound which as been described as “deepsexyfuturistictechfunkhouse” and it’s this sound which which is shaking floors worldwide. 

Danny’s infectious personality and individual style is what really puts him a cut above the rest though. You can really sense his connection with the crowd wherever he plays, and he has fully earned the label “the clubbers DJ”.
