Biografie Danny Tenaglia

Danny Tenaglia s-a nascut in 1962 si este foarte cunoscut datorita seturilor sale live si rezidentelor din cluburile de top new-yorkeze din perioada anilor '90: Twilo (fostul Sound Factory), acum inchis de autoritati si Tunnel. Tenaglia a fost fascinat de tehnica mixajului inca de la varsta de 12 ani, cand un prieten l-a introdus in lumea casetelor mixate de DJ.

La sfarsitul anilor '70 Tenaglia putea fi gasit adesea urmarind seturile live ale unuia din cei mai buni DJ din lume la acea vreme, adica Larry Levan care sustinea show-uri intr-unul din cele mai tari cluburi: Paradise Garage. Tenaglia si-a petrecut mult timp observand tehnica lui Levan, si si-a inceput cariera de DJ la scurt timp dupa aceea.

In 1985 se muta la Miami, dar revine la New York in 1990, exact la timp pentru renasterea noului house, sub conducerea unor producatori ca Masters At Work si Frankie Knuckles si sub obladuirea caselor de discuri Strictly Rhythm si Nervous Records.

La mijlocul anilor '80, Tenaglia isi incepe si cariera de producator si a avut un adevarat succes in 1993 cu remixul piesei lui Daou: Surrender Yourself, un epic house care a lovit ca un uragan toate cluburile Manhattan-ului la mijlocul anilor '90.Cu o cariera lansata in New York,ca si dj la sfarsitul anilor 70, Tenaglia se muta totusi in Miami, pe la jumatatea anilor 80, unde si-a si inceput cariera ca remixer ( printre altii a colaborat si cu Murks Ralph Falcon). Motivul: New York-ul era invadat de zeci de no name djs. Aceasta perioda in Miami i-a fost de folos dj-ului NewYorkez, el revenind in New York la inceputul anilor 90 cu un intreg bagaj de cunostinte in arta productiei muzicale. A nimerit in the big Apple exact cand lucrurile incepeau sa-si revina in ceea ce privea curentul house. Dance music, condus in special de catre Frankie Knukles.

In 94 Tenaglia semna cu Tribal Records America, si in acelasi an aparea club hit-ul Bottom Heavy. Succesul lui Danny a dus la colaborari cu vedete mondiale precum: Madonna, Michael Jackson, Pet Shop Boys, Grace Jones, Jamiroquai, New Order sau Lisa Stansfield,e.t.cCu toata ca a devenit o celebritate in lumea muzicii, Tenaglia nu a renuntat la simplitatea sa. Nu este sclavul banului. Isi alege cu grija petrecerile la care vine si nu de putine ori s-a intamplat sa refuze sume exorbitante intr-un club de renume, pentru a petrece alaturi de 50 de prieteni intr-un club care nici nu ar fi visat vreodata sa-l poata aduce!
Danny Tenaglia a remixat si produs mai multe hit-uri de club, dar ramane cunoscut in lume in special pentru celebrele sale rezidente in faimoasele cluburi ale anilor 90, cum ar fii Twilo (Sound Factory) si Tunnel.
