Danny Howells
If you didn’t get to go to the adult spring break that is the annual Winter Music Conference in Miami this week, don’t despair. British DJ Danny Howells has been a South Florida regular since before the millennium, and he’s coming to L.A. fresh from the land of suntanned guidos. Howells’s bouncy, melodic progressive house and wobbly, druggy, psy-tech will welcome the warm months with a Miami-like bang: Lotion is optional.
Giant presents Danny Howells, Saturday at Vanguard, 6021 Hollywood Blvd., Hollywood. 21+. Doors 9:00 p.m. Tickets $20 advance. Info: giantclub.com.
