Danny Tenaglia

Real Name:
Daniel Tenaglia
Profile:
Danny Tenaglia has remixed and produced several sizable club hits plus a spate of mix albums, several of his own LPs and a publicized feud with fellow super DJ Junior Vasquez.

However, he is most well-known for his DJ residencies at the top New York clubs -- including Twilo (previously Sound Factory), Tunnel and Vinyl where he played every friday for 5 years -- and his marathon DJ sets.

Danny grew up with Motown and the Philly sound as a child, and learned to play guitar and saxophone. At the age of 12, however, a friend introduced him to the world of DJ mixtapes and Tenaglia became fascinated with mixing techniques. He began hustling tapes on the street and, when he was old enough, hit the Manhattan club-scene with gusto. Coming of age in the late '70s introduced him to the club and DJ often cited as the best of all time, the Paradise Garage.

Tenaglia had begun producing in the mid-'80s during his spell in Miami (a single from his Deepstate project signed to Atlantic and he also worked with Minimal, Sexy Records, TRIBAL America, Twisted and Strictly Rhythm; he really hit the mainstream with a 1993 remix of the Daou's "Surrender Yourself," a house epic which pioneered the harder underground sound which stormed Manhattan clubland (and therefore, most of America's dance scene) during the mid-'90s. With friend TRIBAL America was the 1994 club hit "Bottom Heavy"; it also led to abundant remix work for Madonna, Michael Jackson, Pet Shop Boys, Grace Jones, Jamiroquai, New Order and Lisa Stansfield, among others. His debut album, 1995's Hard & Soul, did well and Tenaglia hosted several Tribal mix albums, including two volumes in the Mix This Pussy series plus Gag Me with a Tune. His second proper album Tourism was released in 1998: another success. The biggest Danny's tracks were "Bottom Heavy", "Hambone", "Look Ahead" featuring Carole Sylvan, "Elements" 1997's Dance Chart Billboard n.1, "Music Is The Answer" featuring Celeda.

2008 marks a new adventure for DT, as it embarks on a weekly residency at the world famous Space Ibiza and a new compilation album called "Futurism".
