Bouncing his way across the pond a few weeks back, we had Shades founder Owen Howells in town from London, throwing down a massive set at Rite of Wednesdays! Fresh off his recent gig at Fabric-UK, Owen caught up with us for an exclusive audio interview, where we learned what he's been up to with the Shades (formerly Shades of Grey) label as well as his own genre-busting influences. Known as one of the most wide-ranging selectas in the scene today, Owen shared his outlook on both production and DJ'ing, how he got into the art, and his take on what makes for a good live performance. Click here, fellow underground denizen, for the interview...and then download or stream the real goodies, Owen's raucous live performance from one of the best Rite events of the last few months. Hear here!
Owen Howells Bio:
It takes drive, gritty determination and passion to stand out in today’s musical climate – but that’s not all. What are also needed are raw musical talent, skill and creativity - the certain attributes that Owen Howells possesses in abundance. The London based DJ, Producer and record label boss is accustomed to putting the hours in needed to shine proudly. Blending classic house rhythms with dense, contemporary shades of sub bass influences, the prolific name in the global electronic music scene is never short of a project or three to keep him busy.
Releases on Wunderkammer, Trendy Mullet, Sounds of Juan and his own label Shades (formerly Shades of Grey) galvanise his reputation for being an aspiring producer with many tastes to incorporate. Whether its stepping, snare laced house, or heads down peak time rollers, Owen’s music – both as part of the Shades collective and through his on solo productions – keeps the underground bubbling, in turn catching the eye of many a folk right across the electronic music spectrum and earning support from Mary Anne-Hobbs, Kerri Chandler, MANDY, Gavin Herlihy, Luke Solomon and George Fitzgerald right through to some of techno’s finest innovators and purists such as Eric Cloutier, Voigtmann, Bruno and many more. Maybe that’s why his sheen as a producer earns him regular spots in the Top 10 Beatport charts; or maybe it’s his musical vision of exploring the grey areas and deftly connecting the dots between contemporary electronic music genres, blending a range of tempos and styles to suit the most discerning of dance floors.
