Danny Howard’s big breakthrough arrived on Merseyside, while he was studying at nearby Edge Hill University. “I have a long-standing relationship with Liverpool from my college days,” the London-based DJ and producer tells Apple Music. “From trying to hustle playing slots as a student, to returning as an established artist, it’s always special, and the crowds are always amazing.” Recorded live at Blackstone Street Warehouse (in Liverpool’s historic North Docks), here Howard makes a suitably grand return to his old turf, delivering a blistering set of genre-blending house. Treat your ears to huge hits and VIP remixes by Eats Everything, LF SYSTEM, Armand Van Helden and more. “Blackstone Street Warehouse is the best venue in the city right now,” he says. “So to start the year off with this as my first show of the year has truly set the bar high. It’s a real fun one!”
