Take That star back at Lush!

TAKE That superstar Howard Donald returns to Lush! at Kellys, Portrush, on Saturday, April 24 for an Exclusive DJ set.

Howard plays a unique blend of sexy, funky, vocal driving house with influences from the Chicago luminaries and the French ‘Naked’ house sound.

He began his illustrious career as a DJ, playing at any party he could barge his way into, commandeering turntables just to play out to a crowd, such was his passion.

However, Howard’s DJ’ing was interrupted when he was asked to perform as part of a five-strong pop group called Take That, racking up number one hits in almost every country around the world.

Nevertheless, Howard stayed true to his roots and DJ’d at every party the boys attended.

Once the media rollercoaster subsided Howard concentrated on capitalising on his success to continue his DJ’ing, promptly picking up dates at the some of the best clubs and festivals all over the world.

Howard’s unique position of “celebrity DJ” has been both a blessing and a curse, with some promoters initially turning up their noses.

Refusing to go down the route of ‘party DJ’ Howard has strived to play a more refined style of music, taking influences from early Chicago house and blending it with a healthy vocal house influence.

With guest slots at some of the most prestigious parties in the UK and recognised as the highest profile UK DJ to perform in Germany, Howard was right to stick to his musical guns and is now reaping the rewards.

In the studio Howard has formed a collective “Diskonnect” with Miguel Pellitero (DTPM and Mix Mag favourite), Vicki Edwards (DJ Superstar), Luke Hope (Salvation, Atelier), Eve Lo (Amsterdam, NY) and Tonnic (Trade Lite, 2Kinky, Po na na).

Remix projects include “Stomp” on Shlepp Records, 70’s TV themes, Kym Mazelle, Patti La Belle, Divas on the Dia…among other original projects.
