Owen Howells was born in 1986 in the UK and moved with his family to Australia in the 90’s. It was here Owen’s love for electronic music and hedonistic underground parties was born. At a young age Owen was exposed to music through his parents and played piano & drums, later joining high school bands. Owen got his first pair of turntables at the age of 15 and quickly became engrossed in DJing & music, drawing influence from many genres such as hip hop, folk & reggae. After a several years traveling around Asia, Australia & Europe Owen’s now based back in the UK and has set up his studio in lively Southeast London. 2010 & 2011 have seen Owen’s production debut. With releases on Muchiq, Wunderkammer, Brickbat & Toffler & Nutation. Owen’s production style is made up tight production techniques with a bizarre boundary-pushing feel to please even the most discerning of house & techno listeners As a broadcaster & DJ Owen has held down shows on some of London’s best underground pirate & Internet radio stations including Fresh FM, Unknown FM, Apache FM & Destine Media. He can now be caught weekly playing on Earyworm TV every Tuesday 8PM – 10PM (GMT). A new Audio/Visual broadcasting project based in London. In recent times Owen has played at just about every major club in London solo and also as a back to back duo with Nick Varley including Ministry Of Sound, Pacha, Egg, East Village, One More warehouse parties, The Russian bar, the doors & Chapeau Rogue (Prague). Owen’s DJ sets quickly made a name for themselves turning stiff motionless dance floors into hands in the air chaos. His sets combine his vast electronic music knowledge across many genres along with attention to detail mixing. Owen has played alongside and warmed up for a concoction of local and international talent including Mauro Picotto, Stefano Noferini, Sebastian Voigt, Cagedbaby, Moguai, Gina star, Groove Armada, Raymundo Rodriguez, Tony D, Laidback Luke & Lucio Aquilna just to name a few. 2011 looks extremely bright for the young DJ/Producer with EP’s and remixes planned on some the scenes finest labels & the launch of Owen’s fiendkast podcast series available on www.fiendkast.com or Itunes.
