[SF - 05.23.09] DANNY TENAGLIA Coming Back to San Francisco!!!!
Damn right.. You better Believe in Yourself!
Ruby Skye 9 Year Anniversary Event featuring DANNY TENAGLIA
Saturday, May 23rd
The tale of Danny Tenaglia's love affair with music, and the world's subsequent romance with him, is one of the critical veins in the body of dance music. He is every dancer's secret discovery; a random purchase at the record store, a reluctant night out that unexpectedly turned magic. Explosive success came not behind a major label release, or a world tour, or a radio hit remix: It happened when enough people had the private Tenaglia experience for themselves.
Who is this Danny Tenaglia, and just what does he do to people? Clubbers reported seemingly inhuman mixing capabilities, booth-to-floor telepathy, and the grittiest "modern yet classic" grooves they had ever heard come out of a speaker. A trio of label compilations - Mix This Pussy (1994) and Can Your Pussy Do The Dog? (1995) for Tribal, and Gag Me With A Tune (1996) for Maxi - were the first Tenaglia sets clued-in clubbers could take home to dissect, but the release of his first installment in the UK-based Global Underground series of DJ mixes, titled Athens (2000), lit the international fire. Athens (meant to reflect the set he played at the Greek capital's club King Size) remains one of the darkest, strangest, sexiest sets ever released, and its tame cover photo of a gentle-looking man in a Yankee cap just didn't seem to fit. DJ dates across Europe dispelled the mystery and started the spread of the infectious Tenaglia fever.
In 2003, Danny came full circle with the release of Choice: A Collection Of Classics, a two-CD mixed compilation that let him pay direct tribute to many of the artists who had influenced his sound and style. It featured everyone from Blaze to Adeva to Imagination, as well as hefty liner notes explaining the significance of each track, penned by the man himself. He also remixed another Garage classic (Yoko Ono's "Walking On Thin Ice," which became her first Billboard number one ever), opened another Space during Winter Music Conference (the new location down the block), and took another Dancestar award, this time 'Best Party' for "Be Yourself."
Since then Danny has remained prolific in the clubs and has graced the decks in all the big rooms in NYC including Avalon, Crobar, Pacha NYC, Roxy and Webster Hall. Now after a long studio silence, Danny re-emerges in 2008 with his newest single on Tommy Boy Records, "The Space Dance", named in honor of his first weekly residency at renowned global clubbing institution Space Ibiza to begin in July 2008. Immediately following that, Danny will release his first compilation album in five years, entitled "Futurism" also on Tommy Boy, with a nod to the modern dance floor and Danny's outlook for tomorrow's sounds programmed to captivate the next generation.
And as in every year since his DJ odyssey began, all across the globe, from his hometown of New York City to Acapulco to Tokyo, more people experienced their first night with Danny Tenaglia, that clubber rite-of-passage that forever changes how you listen to music, go out to nightclubs, and think about DJs.
1) It's Danny... He will play until he's done. The last time he played at Ruby Skye the party went until 1pm. Then everyone went to Endup
2. My guess would be Behrouz... But, you never know. I'm calling right now
1. i was at the last ruby one, except i only lasted about 6 of the 12 hours he was on... very strange walking out of ruby midday smelling like a bar with the crowd that walks those streets during the day did he play more at the endup? that'd be hardcore.
2. excellent (if so).
