Danny Howells and Daniel Dubb are “Breakin ‘em In” for Charity

Two Daniels. One track. As our second installment previewing Daniel Dubb & DV8's From the Heart compilation, we decided to cover a track from the man with the plan himself. This time around, the Toronto techno stalwart paired up with one of London's house music legends, Danny Howells. Howells' resume is nearly untouchable; he has twenty years of experience in the industry in both touring and production, has played A-List clubs the world over, and has worked with icons like Deep Dish in the studio.

Their collaboration featured on From the Heart is titled "Breakin 'em In," and it does exactly that. Kicking off with that elastic bass line, the two Daniels created a tech house monster that is surely a club destroyer. The sampling work throughout the track is perfect—from that seductive female you-know-what sample, to what sounds like a freight train, to that smooth throwback synth sample right before the track drops out of the break. It's that kind of tribal, jungle tech-house, supported ever so nicely by the work on the high chimes.

It's clear that this track was constructed for one reason and one reason only—the dancefloor. Its groove is infectious. As new and original as it is, you can really feel that old-school dancefloor rhythm throughout the track, a testament to the long, tenured careers of both Howells and Dubb.

Make sure to support this compilation as it's for a great cause. From the Heart is set to be released on September 29th, 2014 exclusively on Beatport. October 13th, 2014 on iTunes, Traxsource, Spotify and more.
