Broadcaster, DJ, label head and producer, Danny Howard lives and breathes dance music. An authority on the culture, the sound and the scene, with a tenure at BBC Radio 1 that has lasted over a decade, he has positioned himself as the tastemaker of a generation.

Host of Radio 1’s flagship Friday night show Radio 1’s Dance Party, Danny’s transition from underground champion to fully-fledged star of the station is credit to his unwavering commitment to musical discovery and a pair of the sharpest A&R ears in the business.

Support on the night comes from Adam UK, Ash, Maximilian and MJW. Tickets available from Sunday 26th July at 6pm (link in bio) #exeter #exeteruni #exeteruniversity #exetah #housemusic taken in Move by @holditdown_uk

Let’s go to Dorset! There’s no venue quite like @marinetheatrelymeregis as we get to rave right by the beach. Simply one of the most beautiful venues you’ll ever party in, and the one and only @junglecakes taking over.

Real club culture is built in basements like Move.

Hosting @samdivinedj 555 tour is a reminder of the weight these grassroots spaces carry. This is where scenes are defined and where real connections happen on the dance floor.

In an era where independent venues are under constant pressure, Sam’s choice to prioritize rooms like ours is a powerful nod to where this music belongs. We’re proud to be the ground she’s standing on. taken in Move by @holditdown_uk
