Howie & Linn

about

Hailing from Ghent, the epicenter of Belgian night life that brought us new beat, 2ManyDjs and The Subs, male-female duo Howie & Linn made a record that smoothly blends (nu) rave, pop, melody, eurotrance and electro in eleven upbeat dancepop songs.

He started out as a true B-boy, is a connoisseur of all things hip hop but has also been into electro, house and more since the early nineties. Lady Linn is Belgium’s most renowned female singer, together with her big band The Magnificent Seven she has scored numerous hits in Belgium, the biggest one being a sultry doowop-ish cover of Eddy Grant’s reggae classic ‘I Don’t Wanna Dance’. She has been honoured with three Music Industry Awards (Best Female Singer,…), and, as we are writing down these words, her debut album ‘Here We Go Again’ has been in the Belgian Ultratop-chart for over 100 weeks… So what brings together an underground electro dj and a commercially successful nu jazz singer? Surely not some clever record company executive! (Although that would have been a cunning plan.) Howie Dunham and Lady Linn have been close friends for ten years now, and have been musical collaborators in various bands, the most notable one being Skeemz. Skeemz was an urban outfit that mixed hip hop with R&B and soul and released the promising debut album ‘Ain’t You Heard’ in 2005. Unfortunatel
