Forward from Alexis Petridis
“Everyone who loves house music has their Danny Tenaglia moment - one night they heard him DJ that’s embedded in their brain. Maybe it was in Manhattan, with hard New York house beats that somehow seem to capture the sleaze and speed and chaos and glamour of that city’s streets and bounce off the walls at Twilo. Maybe it was in the UK, that night a few years back when Tenaglia laid waste to a Boys Own party in a South London gay club, or, more recently, repeated the trick at London’s Fabric. Or maybe it was one of his legendary annual sets at Miami’s Groovejet club, where you’ll see British DJ superstars dancing on the bar, as lost in music as the fierce local queens bumping and grinding and groping in the middle of the dancefloor. And in the middle of all of those memories there’s Danny Tenaglia, the DJ’s DJ, working the EQ, punishing the crossfader, playing endless mixes of the same record back to back so that it slowly builds from a dark, minimal dub to an exquisite soulful vocal anthem. And whether he’s in the DJ booth or in the studio, cutting classic tunes like ‘Elements’ or ‘Oh No’ or ‘Music Is the Answer’, this is what Tenaglia’s famed for: ferocious, funky beats; dark rooms dripping with sweat; house music all night long. But what happens when the party’s over, when the lights come up and the dance floor reluctantly empties? What does Danny Tenaglia play when he’s at home and there’s no crowd to please but himself? You’ve got the answer right here in your hands: the latest volume in the Back To Mine series. The brief was the same as ever - dig deep in your collection, pull out some laid back gems, compile your own chill out soundtrack - but this time the results are rather different. This is chilling with a distinctly New York flavour, a cultural collision course that draws from a lifetime spent devouring music of every conceivable shade. Sophisticated cocktail ambience rubs up against Latin rhythms, 80s electronica, soul diva vocals and the occasional minimal house pulse. Sophisticated, slinky and, frankly, sexy as hell, this is what happens when one of the finest DJs in the world forgets about the bpms and let’s his imagination run riot. Dim the lights, forget about the world outside and lose yourself in a very different kind of Danny Tenaglia moment.
