Review of Danny Howells Special 'Choice' gigs@AKA London 25/01/06

It's a rare occasion that Danny Howells plays a mid-weekerin London, so no surprise then that before long West Central Street resembled a road block as people gathered out side AKA, waiting to begin a much needed Wednesday tonic. Danny was booked to be on deck duties all night and play amongst things, a special extended 'Choice' set of classics.

His Choice album came out on Azuli this month and has received rave reviews (no pun intended) from all corners, so a good party it seemed was in order.

The choice collections are fast becoming a who's who of influential figures. With legendary artists such as Jeff Mills, Louie Vega, Derrick Carter, Francois Kervorkian, Tony Humphries, Danny Tenaglia, X-Press 2 and Frankie Knuckles hosting previous releases it is just a matter of time before your own personal hero gets this unique opportunity to really communicate their own musical history.
That's if they haven't stepped up already of course?

The Choice releases also include the compiler's own exclusive re-edits that will only ever feature on these albums.
Danny gave some of his Choice edits an airing on the night, much to the crowds delight! In true Danny fashion he played with energy and heart, things soon got out of hand as everyone forgot there was still two days of work left.
See below for a pictorial of the night…
