Hailing from Glasgow, Howard Bernstein quickly established himself as one of the rising stars of electronic music thanks to his diverse activities. On the one hand, his early collaborations with projects such as Dobie and Nomad Soul.B helped to spread his name in the inner circles. Then there's 94, his own label, Pussyfoot, on which he signs bands in a mutating vein (trip hop, ambient, instrumental hip hop, post drum and bass...). Above all, it was as a musician that he made his name. 3 albums in succession affirmed his strong trip hop personality (Music For Babies in 96, Turn The Dark Off in 97 and Snatch in 99). The other string to his bow, and not the least, is his work as a producer. It was his remixes of Bjork and Tricky that made him one of the most sought-after producers across the Channel. Gradually, thanks to his highly inspired reworkings, he became the saviour of many mainstream artists. As a producer, the highlight of his career was undoubtedly his role as producer on U2's pop album. A true jack-of-all-trades and all-round artist, Howie B is one of the rare figures in electronic music who knows how to diversify without losing or diluting his talent. Dominique Mesmin
