  • This April, Danny Howells will release the first edition of a compilation series for his Dig Deeper label, entitled Phase One. Howells has some pretty high profile labels in his past, from the nights he spent DJing for Bedrock to the mixes he did for Renaissance and Global Underground. But in the past few years much of his time has gone into his own imprint, Dig Deeper Records. So far the label has focused exclusively on his own productions, but soon it will host tracks from artists like Art Bleek, Surrealism and fellow heavyweights like Nick Warren. Phase One showcases a wide swath of material from the label—a whopping 43 tracks in total, most of which are previously unreleased. "This is the first time I've ever had the chance to sign new music, and be able to combine it with my own productions," says Howells. "So many artists that I really admire and look up to sent me music for the label which was kind of gob-smacking! I'm so happy with the end result and feel that the mix and individual tracks really display the diverse range of musical styles that I want Dig Deeper to represent." The release consists of two parts: an 18-track mix, and a collection of 25 individual songs. The mix will be available as a limited edition CD, signed by Howells himself, and also as a digital download. Tracklist Part 1: Mixed by Danny Howells 01. Danny Howells - Flight Home 02.
