Most Enduring Commercial Mix Comps

DT is one of the worst Dj’s I’ve ever seen, and I’ve seen him many times. The UK love for him always cracks me up. One fond (painful) DT memory I have was from his m_nus yourself collab party with Hawtin.

First off Hawtin doesn’t come on until like 3am, which even by NY standards is pushing it. He manages to play what was probably the last great set I’ve heard from him, until at like 5:30 DT turnes up looking like Christopher Lloyd at the end of Who Framed Roger Rabbit. Absolutely zooted to the gills. He proceeds to cut the music and starts screeching over the PA system in his most NY queen’d up voice shit like “ I just got off the chopper from the Hamptons” and “who’s ready to party?!” He also starts making requests over the PA for Hawtin to play tracks off the newest DE9 release…. “Richiiiiiie! Whats that one I LOVED?! Oh yeah play ‘THE TUNNEL’!” Awful. We left around 7am, and Tenaglia hadn’t even fully come on yet. To his credit, there was a line around the block to get in. However, I say with zero humor that DT draws the most bottom of the barrel crowd of any Dj on the planet, so you can only imagine what the queue to get into Pacha at 7:30am looked like. Ronald Reagan’s worst fucking nightmare. Just human piles of meth and broken light bulbs.

Dan you can have them both lol. Now that you mention it, they do remind me of each other.

Amps there is no reason too. The only reason I used to see him was because he was a resident at Arc, a NY club that was so old they could sell booze but have an 18 admittance age, so it was the only club I could get into at the time. He did this “Be Yourself” night, which is where the white horse pic came from, that was one of the only things going in NYC at the time. I’m sure IndustryStandard is very familiar with it. It was the first club night I was aware of to ban cell phones. They didn’t even allow them to be in your pocket, so you had to check them with ur coat.

Smallman1 yes sir. He flew in from god knows what kinda Eyes Wide Shut Epstein party so that he could sreeeeeaaaaaaam over the PA. It was insane. There used to be videos on youtube of some of his antics from that night, but I can’t find them now.

alistair Manhattan clubbing* Although Arc and Cielo were both very good clubs.

DT blindfolded playing records in front of Alan Dershowitz and half the UN Council on Foreign Relations.
