  • Danny Tenaglia (circa '97 - '99)

He was definitely playing out a lot around that time.

Two gigs I definitely remember being mentioned (although I wasn’t there):
A marathon (10-hour?) set at Homelands. Think he had a tent/stage all to himself, was called the D10 or DTourism tent or something.
Mixmag raving about a set he played at the Miami Winter Music Conference, this was the first time I became really aware of him apparently being that good and known as ’the DJ’s DJ’, apparently Oakenfold and Cox seen having it, dancing on tables etc to his set.

    Will always contend that Bottom Heavy is his greatest record.

    He hosted a tent at one of the Gatecrasher Summer Sound Systems I went to and absolutely smashed it.

    Danny T that is.

    Appreciate the feedback lads.
    What I can make out so far is that DT was playing lots of gigs during this time (including some epic, marathon sets), yet because there’s so little info about any of them he was either the best on the scene as making sure nothing got out or talked about, or, they were actually really crap and no-one can be bothered to remember them in that much detail 😂

      Didn’t make me want to fast forward, but no, not a fan.

      That’s the one i mentioned dave, i read the same article you mentioned.

        Oh come on! Be yourself is a great track!

        Dan #shamelessplug played that on one of my recent mixes (Stay @ Home Mix 007) on Mixcloud, as bit of a tribute to Paradise Garage/Twilo 😉

          Homegrove only negative about Be Yourself from me is that it’s too long. Gets a bit repetitive after the main breakdown, which most people mix out of after anyway.
          Apart from that, it’s one of my favourites!

            I can remember seeing him at Space in 99. He was on before Sasha and he destroyed that room with a really dark and heavy sound, suited that room perfectly. It was before Space added extra bar and lights so it was just a pitch black room with lasers and amazing sound. Sasha came on and played till 7am and was just as awesome. Danny finished his set and came straight onto the dance floor and danced to Sasha just behind me. Which prompted my missus to keep nudging every 5 mins saying ’Danny keeps looking at your arse, I think it’s your lucky night treacle’

            Remember him playing this
            [

            Saw him again a couple of years later again at Space, he was good but he played a 16 bar loop of Crystal Waters - Gyspy Woman, which I can’t stand, for about 45 mins. I left the room, got a drink, checked out the other room and when I came back he was still at it. TBF when the drums dropped the room went off but I think that was more out of relief than anything else.

              What a night that was in Space. My first ever night in Ibiza. Will never forget Sasha starting with Fibonnaci Sequence when he came on after Tenaglia

                Not a fan of that Dnote remix.

                The Look Glammer girl with the Daou is also a firm fave.

                  Dan love the Grand Ballroom remix of ‘Give Myself To You’ by The Daou. It’s also on my ‘Stay At Home 007’ mix 😂

                      Love all that Daou/Murk sound. Tribal was a great label in the 90’s.

                        Dan Peter Daou is a huge reason why those Danny T productions sound good. Such an underrated musician
