    Old-Dutch In all reality, can you begin imagine the things Tanaglia has seen over the years? Time to scrub the brain.

      Saw DT have an absolute disaster at SW4 a few years ago.

      He was playing some of the worst music I’ve ever heard and then jumped in front of the decks, got on the mic and tried to lead the crowd into some sort of ‘walk like an Egyptian’ dance.

      What made it even worse was that I’d dragged a load of people over to see him on the basis “that he was going to absolutely tear it up, guaranteed.”

      Reg.

        I think his hour-forty-five-minute edit of Rui Da Silva’s “Touch Me” might be a bit more apt.

          Heno DT is as mad as a burst bag of shit

          Proper crackers.

            Interesting sub genre of electronic music, ‘proper DJs who get on the mic’. I reckon it’s a car crash 99% of the time. Only DJ I have seen do it with any kind of restraint was Garnier. No surprises there, he is the consummate professional!

                Amps Carl Craig pulls it off. It doesn’t add much but it doesn’t ruin the vibe either.

                    zackster Really? His Twitter suggests it would be a horror show. Fair play if he can keep a lid on it.

                        Amps its just all “detroit = love baby. Let me see you feel it” and shit like that. Its part of a routine as opposed to DT who, at least that night with Hawtin, was clearly seeing a 5th dimension.

                            zackster Yeah, fair enough, it’s bearable at least. I would guess the vast majority of DJs on the mic are in the throws of some incredibly cheap cocaine.

                                Amps I’m pretty sure DT was on the experimental steroids Trump is currently taking bc he was off the fucking wall. I wish I could find the videos on youtube, but I suspect they are gone.

                                  There was a whole other angle to the DT RH party with me completely blowing it with a girl who I was head over heels for. Hawtin was on for like 15 min, and she kept trying to drag me back to the apartment. Convinced that my getting pussy outfit of J Crew slim fit chinos and vintage Plastikman Tee I bought off eBay had more than done its job, I opted to stay. I distinctly remember walking past the aforementioned queue at 7:30am, smelling the mid summer piss and vomit smells of Manhattan and thinking “I might have fucked up here.” Get back to find her blacked out in bed with all of her girl friends. At lunch the next day her friend confirmed my fears that I blew what was probably my only chance. I say with little humor that it haunts me to this day.

                                    zackster File under ‘learning experience’, feel better for it.

                                      I’m sure she was very attractive, Zack, but I don’t blame you. I mean, who could resist faces like these:


                                      Danny T looking like Bill Murray and the Moon had a child.

                                        I think about getting back into therapy, just to tell my analyst this story, and when I get to the “Danny Tenaglia just came on” part, he or she underlines “faggot” on their note pad while nodding.

                                          Dan agreed. Hardly my favorite, but a very safe bet. Never had a bad time, and reads a room very well.

                                            Carl Craig. One of the many beneficiaries of CDJs, mixing software, and sync. Dude could not mix a gin and tonic the few times I saw him in the ’90’s.

                                            As a producer, he’s an all timer.
