  • GU 45 - Danny Tenaglia - Brooklyn

Cankles-McJeggings

His appearance at Cream was legendary, after not selling enough tickets for Alexandra Palace, they sent him to Dipperland where he played Elton John’s Rocket Man to piled up scallys. They probably bummed him and then beat him to death in the morning

      The king of has-been haus

      Learning that this was on London will always make me laugh. Ed big upping that comp for years and then it gets outed as AIDS-Rave. Love it.

      Haha. Probably your very last port of call for anything to do with virtually anything especially music and football is Edwand.

      Had the pleasure of seeing Tenaglia in 2001 (?) when he was announced as the special Bedrock guest by email on the day of the gig. I went on my own as my mate couldn’t make it, so glad I did, it was an amazing set. He started with Jam & Spoon - Stella and then it was just brilliant track after brilliant track. I ended up dancing next to the fat lads from global underground who told me this set would be part of one of their next GU’s (London then cane out later that year).

      I’ll always give him a try based on that experience

        benson no it was the Heaven, London one….although now you mention it I think he also did Brighton as well?

            gcw he did. I think it was 2000. It was just before i started clubbing proper and could have gone to the brighton night as I walked past the beach that night. But I was a noob and naive

              Cankles-McJeggings Then there’s the story of him unplugging all the desk and other equipment in what he considered his booth when s&d turned up.

              Think Digweed debunked that, unfortunately as that would have been a funny bitchy queen move to pull.

                  zackster I recall the actual story behind that being half the sound system wasn’t connected up properly until he started to play, didn’t you state that Josh Wink did something similar at an event that you attended there, making previous DJs look incompetent. Sasha, has actually confirmed this on many occasions. It was even printed in Mixmag.

                      Dry-Tinder didn’t you state that Josh Wink did something similar at an event that you attended

                      No no Wink would never. He is all peace love and good vibes.

                      The story I told was that Mauro Picotto allegedly did it to Carl Cox. I also think that one is bullshit as they have played at eachothers parties multiple times.

                          gcw
                          No he played Home in London on the Friday and Saturday. The night you mentioned was the Easter Weekend in 2000 I think.

                            zackster

                            Nice of Steve Dash to open up the sound system for Wink when he came on. This was very similar to the Sasha story

                            During the late 90’s, Twilo was a NY institution. Hosting the legendary residency of Sasha & Digweed as well as Junior Vasquez’s weekly residency during this time. There were two booths at Twilo - one which was built for Junior which was perched above the crowd and one for the guests which was just elevated above the floor on one end of the club. Josh would embark on a residency at Twilo during this time that became an Ovum Recordings night which allowed him to showcase many of the artists releasing on the label.

                            On this night the opening set was from DJ Dozia. This was also a special evening as it was the release party for Josh’s mix compilation Profound Sounds Volume 1. During this time, the label was distributed by Sony Music worldwide and this was a big event having Josh playing in the labels home city. There were various press requests including a request to film. This was quickly shut down as there was no video to be taken inside the club (How times have changed!). Josh took over the decks and at this point in the evening legendary sound man Steve Dash would open up the system. As the headliner took over, it was like the room transformed. I can still envision the circular light that sat above the dance floor as well as the huge disco ball all coming to life as the set started to build.

                            Well turn up the volume and prepare to dive into two hours of bliss as Mr. Josh Wink takes you on a journey showing his true musical diversity and understanding why many always called him the DJ’s DJ.

                            Shout out to Steve Dash, Mike Bindra, Paul Morris, Todd Horn, Izzy Monk, Neil Lawi, and everyone who was involved in this special evening and of course to all the clubbers. #Staysafe #Stayhome

                                Who starts a set with Stella ffs?

                                A cunt, that’s who.

                                Dry-Tinder that Twilo mix that surfaced during lockdown was fantastic. Had it on the other day as it happens. GU should give Wink a comp and bin off Danny.
