Chicago's latest house music export lays down a live session for this week's RA podcast.
Born and raised in the city that birthed house music, Tevo Howard caught the mixing bug at an early age via his older brother, taking advantage of easy access to his decks throughout his teenage years and securing residencies at local clubs by the time he was just sixteen. What with his father Rick—who also provides his earthy, downtrodden vocals to some of Tevo's music—having a career as a blues artist, music has always been in his family. Keen to learn more about the technical side of things, Tevo went on to get a degree in the subject, but it wasn't until 2005 that he started to get into production.
Just two years later, he'd started his Beautiful Granville imprint in order to showcase his work, quickly pricking ears amongst house music fans with his melodically rich drum machine workouts. The European labels were also listening: Rebirth and Rush Hour spread his name further across the Atlantic, paving the way for his first European dates earlier this year. With all his years of experience, he's a dab hand behind the decks, but he's equally adept playing live, which is exactly what you'll hear on this live session recorded especially for RA.
