Notes
From Sleeve: "International celebrity DJ/producer/remixer Danny Tenaglia returns to the forefront of clubland with his first new recording since the succesful "Ohno" over one year ago. The first track from his forthcoming full-length LP, "Elements" is an epic house track in pure Danny fashion.
Dark, moody, and true Tenaglia, "Elements" dissects the making of a house track, as demonstrated by one of the masters of the craft. Five mixes cover all the bases: vocal mix, chant mix, dub mix, extended bonus beats and acappella.
Picking up where "Ohno" and his classic "Bottom Heavy" leave off, "Elements" is certain to become one of the crown jewels in Tenaglia's musical crown, and one of Twisted's shining moments!"
Mastered at Frankford Wayne Mastering Labs, NYC.
Special thanks goes to: Joey Nieves, Kevin McHugh, Lula, Marcello, Joe Ulloa, Chuck Aronson, Adolpho, Ramon and to all my new friends at DTour.

Reviews & Discussion
After all those years and countless plays, "Elements" still remains a truly unique track that never fails to impress - even after many many listens. Simplicity is the recipe for success here: massive beats and filtered deep bassline, topped with pitched male vocal describing the process of creating a track - a package that works surprisingly well on any dancefloor. Yup, that's about it. Nothing less, nothing more. Danny Tenaglia is a house music genius and "Elements" is his best material to date. Essential.
My favorite version is 'The Chant Mix', with a lot less vocals, and a vocal riff similar to 'Hello-Hello-Hello' from 'Smells Like Teen Spirit' by Nirvana. The emphasis is given to the darkness of the melody.
If you want a full instrumental, 'The Tracks' is just what you need. Bonus beats and voice are yours for mixing pleasure.
Danny Tenaglia later re-used parts of this single for "Dibiza (Bring The Drums Back)", released in 2006.
