Album Description 24:7 is an exploration of what it means to be addicted to the music -- To live in a world where the way life sounds defines how it looks and feels. Every second of the day, we are bombarded by elements of media in such a way that many of us can't help but need to be "connected", to require that we stay "plugged in", twenty four hours a day and seven days a week. The series will reflect this obsession. Now the world's most revered electronic music label, launches a brand new series entitled 24:7. The first installment is a radical mix by current scene man-of-the-moment, Danny Howells. A ten-year veteran, with an unearthly ability to connect with his audience, Danny is set for world domination this year, a fact exemplified by his #12 ranking in DJ magazine's recent Top 100 DJs poll. Danny has transitioned his monthly residency at New York super-club, Arc (formely Vinyl and Twilo) into an almost cultish state-side fan base. When Danny Howells is coming to town, the buzz is palpable and people come out to see what all the hype is about. His fist GU release, the second mix in the NuBreed series (NuBreed 002, 2000), is hailed as a landmark edition to the world's most esteemed dance music catalog. In addition to recognition as a headlining DJ, Howells is also gaining notoriety as a ground breaking producer and remixer. His credits include remixes for Robbie Williams, BT, David Morales and production collaborations with the likes of Deep Dish. Musically, the concept is as boundless as the day is long. Danny approached each disc with an amazingly unique and fresh sense of sound. On Disc One, the "Day" disc, he effortlessly smokes through a collection of the most cutting edge down-tempo and experimental music to ever grace a Global Underground CD. Disc Two, the "Night" disc is equally as groundbreaking, as Danny drops a warbling set of dub-drenched house that is so meticulously programmed and mixed that it is clear upon first listen why he is dance music's new favourite son and why his name will be inescapable for some time to come.

CD ReviewsHigh-caliber house Trevor C. Cook | Ramstein, Germany | 04/07/2005 (4 out of 5 stars) "This may be a bold statement, but Danny Howells is well on his way to becoming the next Nick Warren. 24:7, a double-disc set designed to give a view into the variety of music that follows the life of a professional DJ, is a nearly sublime and decidedly top-notch album that radiates confidence and class. Like Warren's stellar GU #024 REYKJAVIK, Howells' 24:7 "Day Disc" is fresh and esoteric, with dreamy, ambient melodies works slowly progressing more and more into edgier territory as the tracklist rises (numbers like Telefon Tel Aviv's "Sound In A Dark Room" and Sideshow's "Sound Of Today" exemplify this). The "Night Disc" picks up the pace a bit more, but make no mistake that overall this is a very laid-back set. Unfortunately, while the Day moves seamless between consistently superlative tracks, the Night lacks the consistency present on the first disc (which inevitably costs 24:7 its fifth star). Some tracks, such as Celestial's "Harijan" work superbly as they flow into more active tracks like the Loudeast mix of Vince Watson's "Bubbles." Others, however, like the immediately following "Keep It Real" by Sexonwax which features the acappella "Do It Like A Robot" by Princess Superstar, fail to match the surreal synth feel of the earlier segments of the set. These disruptive tracks prove to be the only flaw in this otherwise outstanding effort on Howells' part. Danny clearly has the taste and style to take the listener to another place with his work; what he lacks is Warren's almost supernatural gift of blending all of the diverse spectrum of songs into one work of art. Still, 24:7 is a fantastic effort and among the relative "newcomers" Howells' is visibly among the most creative and talented and will no doubt mature into a master like Nick Warren in no time." GU is back to Excellent ! 07/29/2003 (5 out of 5 stars) "This is truly the comeback of Global Underground, this new series is a great idea that will allow electronica fans to enjoy more than just dance music. Disc 1 is a BIG gem. It is a mix of downtempo, electronica, and melody. This disc is there with the best Aphex Twin, Plaid, and Bent records. A fantastic set, full of noises, effects, voices, and melody. Great for headphones ... unforgettable music. Disc 2 is also an incredible mix. This time we come back to the dance music we expect to listen from a GU record but better than that. We get a sick tech-tribal-deep-house full of great basslines and electro sounds. Absolutely amazing, track 2 of disc 2 will blow your head with the continuous pounding drums, they never stop, like a drill making a hole in your soul. A MUST buy for any electronica fan and for any dance music fan." The evolution of a master dejeani | Santa Monica, CA United States | 04/11/2004 (5 out of 5 stars) "In reading these others reviews I have to ask myself, What is so bad about the night disk?? I found it quite moving, in fact I can't seem to get out out of my cd player. While the day disk is certainly more uplifting and playful, the night disk offers a more emotional rollercoaster which I would most definitely recommend. It depends on your mood which is a characteristic that Danny Howells brings into his music. This album is not quite Nocturnal Frequencies, but its up there. He's moving in a progressive direction, taking deep house and trance to another level."
