DANNY TENAGLIA @ COACHELLA 2008

[urvak]

who was there it was amazing i had never seen danny played in a outdoor event club instead but he working it out incrediblely had total contral from finish to start 35+ dj experience amazing vibe out there one of the best djs @ coachella fucking insane! good times !

[Botrocker]

One of the best DJ's out there

[godevilove]

He was the best dj. its amazing how natural he is at djing. Ending with the REM remix was truly sweet! the funny thing is right when he finished his "short 2 hr set" is when he was just getting warmed up!!!! all these electro djs like justice etc. dont hold a candle to this guy. Im sure many long time EDM fans will agree...

[palmerloveshouse]

I agree, The REM remix was one of the highlights of the three days for me :)

[SFChrissy]

I was there from start to finish right up front...I thing out of all my trips to the tent this year Danny's set had the happiest people getting thier groove on!!! I was wondering who thru these balls out...

[Skookumchuk]

I couldn't agree more!! I had never seen him before but he was one of the highlights of the weekend for me.

[TheGlassPrison]

I really wish I had been in their longer (was only in for about the last 30 minutes or so). I could tell he was an old-school house dj just by the amount of time he got in the tent, but the little I did catch was great! And whoever mentioned about him being more pro than all the electro-revival dj's (way too many this year) was totally right. Much respect.

Hey, you! We were right up front on the right side the whole time! I was dancing my ass off while I had Suffacated blowin' canexplain's balls up to throw out into the crowd! You got one! Cool! BTW...went and picked up Danny's CD...still fuckin' dancin'! Good times!

[CSebastian]

I love that Danny gets off the tables to dance. Only 2 hours, but he shook the house. "E" is for Education.

[betao]

Oh man. When he dropped the REM remix at the end, and every single person in the entire tent was signing along and just grooving like there's no tomorrow, that remains one of the most memorable experiences i've had all weekend.

THAT is what Coachella is supposed to be - That kind of feeling.

[Skookumchuk]

Wow - those photos bring back such great memories!

I was down in front on the right side too. We must have all been right there together. Everyone I know that was there is still talking about the feeling when they were singing Losing My Religion. Fantastic!!!

[erikua]

Man! I caught the 1st 40 minutes or so of his set. I was exhausted and could only chill in the back of the tent. I first heard of Tenaglia in 2001 when he did some remixes for Depeche Mode's Exciter album. It sounds like I should have found the energy to make it up front for the entire 2 hours. I was impressed with what I heard. Truly is a professional on the decks.

I was a little on the left but closer to the center...That girl in the picture was a total stranger but she had the biggest smile on her face and we were both feeling the beats and when I caught the ball we both looked at each other and got a huge smile and I said lets take a picture!!!

This is a great double disc!!!

[Tijuana]

That's why Tenaglia is called the DJ's DJ. During Winter Music Conference, which is where all the EDM artists gather every year, most of the big name DJ's go to his party to listen to him. It's like going to an All-Star game where the All-Stars are the crowd cheering for 1 Super Star.

[SFChrissy]

Yes, we know what the winter music conference is duhhh!!!

[Psilo]

I WANT THIS SET!!!

Anyone?

[Tijuana]

Yes, we know what the winter music conference is duhhh!!!

You would be surprised at how many people don't have any idea what WMC is?

[SFChrissy]

You would be surprised at how many people don't have any idea what WMC is?
that is surprising...

[Smokenut]

Danny Tenaglia

fucked murdered it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i want to say he had the best sahara performance

but sasha & digweed raped it for me

but Danny T...made my big fat ass dance with a sombrero and helped 10 people dance like a zombie in the front right of the arena

Danny T even looked over to where I was and gave me a thumbs up


and winter music conference is another story

WMC 08 was fucking life changing

[Smokenut]

any one got his set list by the way?

[tripcalifornia]

Danny's set was one of my most anticipated performances for this year. I didn't really see anyone else in the line up that was known for throwing down the deeper base that he does...only other DJs like that were in the Do Lab area. A highlight of my weekend, for sure!

[misterite]

I worked wit Danny at Virging Games back in the 90's before he blew up. I kept telling him he should stay in the game industry. Now look where he is. :)

keep it up Dan!

-Rob Wright

[Skookumchuk]

Some kind soul posted a good chunk of his set on youtube in several different parts - decent enough quality too. Just type in Tenaglia Coachella and I think there are 11 different parts.

They were right next to me too as I can see myself getting down whenever they pan the crowd. Great times.

[SFChrissy]

sweet!

[fatbastard]

Danny's in the month's DJ Times magazine. There's a picture of him in the tent with the crowd in the background.

[thewindowliquor]

fucking NO @ this whole thread.

we must demand a higher level of DJ at Coachella. Luke Vibert would be good.

Thanks for this Ivan.

[betao]

2 hours of Danny T was better than the 4 hours of EDM and electro that followed.

[frozen pilgrim]

to whoever said he was the best in the sahara in 08:
grow a pair of ears.

he is, however, better than justice :P

but yeah. somehow I think gogol bordello + sean penn acid test + my morning jacket > danny tenaglia

[PC-2 Violence]

Somehow, I think that your a tampon. One that is caught on the coat tails of anything said by respected board members.

[frozen pilgrim]

excuse me?
can I ask what exactly your problem with me specifically is? what thread did I argue with you in where this began? why is it that you insist on constantly hindering the function of this board by pursuing some childish vendetta against me?

could you at least, if you're going to pick fights with me, at least argue ABOUT something? you never seem to have any kind of rebuttal to anything I've said. you just make yourself sound like a thirteen year old. which wouldn't surprise me.

[superfiction]

2 hours of Danny T was better than the 4 hours of EDM and electro that followed.

i enjoyed the 4 hours of electro before him and lets face it. boys noize killed it after him. so yeah. he killed the vibe

Your unreadable opinions are neither valid or interesting. Your disposition and personality hardly rival a retarded fish frog at war with his own pubescence. I also like to give you a hard time because of the interweb, and the way it functions you. I have no problem judging you on the things you post. SOMEHOW I think you type before you think.

See now you have flipped the roles.

You are the one that is supposed to be writing the cry me a river paragraphs...

and I am supposed to be giving the four word answers.

[crazzz2007]

honestly i was bored to tears

that's cause you have no taste in music.

[Memorial_07]

he has the funniest name

[betao]

i enjoyed the 4 hours of electro before him and lets face it. boys noize killed it after him. so yeah. he killed the vibe

you must not be referring to danny T then. Modeselektor came after Danny T did. Not BN.

If you think Danny T killed the vibe, then you weren't there during the last 20 minutes when he played "Losing My Religion" and every single person in that tent was dancing and singing along to it. I don't really care for that song, but that was one of the best moments i've had in a dance tent ever.

That was actually probably the best vibe I felt in the dance tent the entire weekend. Either that or Pendulum.

[Memorial_07]

modeselektor came on after danny?
i thought danny played way later in the night

[betao]

nah it went like this:

550-750 - danny t
8-850 - modeselektor
9-950 - simian mobile disco
10-1050 - chromeo
11-12 - justice

[Memorial_07]

oh shit.
It's because I saw when danny got added he was pretty high up so I assumed he'd playing later

[betao]

he should have played later.

[Memorial_07]

yeah 5 is too early for him

[betao]

They should have put him on during most of Roger Waters' set... it would have made more sense to put a big name DJ on during a majority of Waters' set... Danny T is a big name DJ that will satisfy the needs of the sahara tent crowd, but at the same time, he isn't someone that you'd be really pissed about missing (for me, it was SMD. I wanted to see them badly.)

[Memorial_07]

He should've just played friday after Aphex.

[LunaVC]

House music is a feeling

those that found it 'boring'

well you ain't gonna understand it cos it's for the grown ups

stick to the nu rave and cardigans and skinny jeans brigade innit

[Tijuana]

I love all these idiots who just assume something. He should have, would've ben better at... whatever idiots. He had a GREAT set and vibe when he played. That was it.

[frozen pilgrim]

he was on my list of people to see, but the conflicts, you guys know how it is.
like I said before, gogol bordello, then the sean penn acid test, then my morning jacket, then waters. longest stretch I've ever spent at one stage at any concert ever.

Somehow I think missing all and not catching one bit of Modeselektor, Simian Mobile Disco, Chromeo, Justice, makes you ineligible from making a judgement on who was better. I saw everything.

Jock less plz.

That was actually probably the best vibe I felt in the dance tent the entire weekend. Either that or Pendulum. I left the fest that nite with a couple of CDs, Danny T and Pendulum included. Been listening to Pendulum alot, but spaced out and misplaced Danny's...Found it the other day and haven't stopped reliving that show yet!

[SFChrissy]

i enjoyed the 4 hours of electro before him and lets face it. boys noize killed it after him. so yeah. he killed the vibeboys noize played before danny and he gave them mad props so go fly a kite superfiction!!!

I haven't compared those people to anything. although I HAVE heard most of those people's coachella 08 sets (thank you bootleg thread). what I said was, danny tenaglia was not the best. and he wasn't. he's a very good DJ. and it's great to see how many people are willing to shake their asses to some true house, but I think you've forgotten something-
aphex twin played friday night, and took the audience from west coast hip hop through hardcore, through gabber, through drum and bass, through acid house, through deep house, through drill and bass, and then erased everyone's minds with a wall of sound for a finale. THAT was the best act in the sahara this past year.

I want to know who's alias PC is. the intention to troll in his posts is just too palpable for him to be a real person. if he is, he's truly the stupidestperson this board has ever seen.

[LunaVC]

where is this bootleg thread? link?

is it MP3 mixes of all the sets? I'd love that!

Funny how some people think that they heard something great while others say it whas shit. My good friend who WAS a big Aphex Twin fan before Coachella, said a completely different thing; he hated the set saying that it sounded too midi (computer generated sounds). Who knows?

[frozen pilgrim]

midi-like?
midi can be used to trigger analog sounds. that was, in fact, its' original purpose. midi isn't the sound, midi is the language used to trigger the sound. it's sheet music that instruments can read on their own. Musical Instrument Digital Interface.

I admit however that I'm nitpicking, so pay no mind to that first bit.

but yeah. your friend was either watching someone else, or... yeah. that's the most inaccurate description I've ever heard. he (aphex) opened with an ambient construction, then proceeded to take the audience through almost every concievable type of dance music. he opened with welcome the terrordome and closed with a wall of bass noise centered around 'fear' by current value.

Do you ever work or go to school or do something productive with your life. YOU ANSWER EVERY THREAD. LOSER.

[frozen pilgrim]

dude, you came back five days later to try and stir up an argument, and you're telling ME to get a life?

and to answer
no I don't go to school, yes I work, and I suppose if you consider the temporary nature of all of our existences', none of us is, on a level of personal advancement, ever going to do anything 'productive'. or were you just being childish and insulting in the wake of having soundly lost an argument.

I tried to be nice, dude.

[LunaVC]

man, I could never listen to a set and know whether it was Midi or not.

Aphex was good, probably prefer for him to play some of his well known choons mixed in (windowlicker, come to daddy etc) just to hear them proper loud rather than in my car if you know what I mean.

[Smokenut]

danny tenaglia's set was wayyyy too short but amazzzzzzzzzzzing!!!!!!!!

but 2hrs is all u get in the sahara, i.e. sasha & digweed who should have player 4 or 6 hrs

but from 10pm-4am!




danny played some jams like

phil kieran-skyhook 2

[Smokenut]

Do you ever work or go to school or do something productive with your life. YOU ANSWER EVERY THREAD. LOSER.

AMEN BROTHER!

this BITCH(frozen pilgrim) answers every thread with like 3 other people.....

ya his set was by far amazing! i hope to god he comes again this year

[Smokenut]

there are 3 skyhooks and Danny didnt play 1 or 3

so what does that leave us with...

And he's a CD DJ! Props to him!

[Smokenut]

no offense to APHEX TWIN

but he stunk up the sahara in 2008

and so did justice and all ed banger


aphex twin performs better on drugs and longer set times

[Smokenut]

And he's a CD DJ! Props to him!

he is a REAL DJ

he spins both! vynl and cd

not a fancy ass laptop with programs that mix for you

[myelectrolife]

Ok, ok, ok....
There is a lot of passion in this thread. WOW. Danny T was SICK. Although he did not beat Aphex Twin for me, but different strokes for different folks.
BUT
For the record during "losing my religion" there was an amazing vibe that had the entire crowd jumping like crazy.

Still lookin for the Danny T bootleg torrent.

Aphex Twin torrent: http://www.demonoid.com/files/details/1466546/4651332/?rel=1231451192
good shit

As for the whole DJ argument:
You can NOT be a DJ (Disc Jockey) with out discs, either CD or Vinyl. PERIOD.
I think the whole argument is retarded. We should just ditch the whole "DJ" title because it causes SOOOOO many arguments and is an incorrect use of language.

Be an "Electronic Music Artist", nothing wrong with a different title.
I guess the title "DJ Who gives a fuck" is more zippy, then just "who gives a fuck"
If you mix or produce good music that is all that matters.
right?

[Trick Loves The Kids]

aphex twin in 2008 was some next level shit

[frozen pilgrim]

word, trick. word.



I think it's perfectly okay to use the term DJ without using CDs or vinyl. there is literally no difference in between a laptop and two jog dials, and two CDJs. a series of ones and zeros being played decoded and played back by a digital-analog converter, with transport control provided by an indirect platter.

DJ and producer. two terms with clear meanings, to me:
DJ: plays back, beatmatches, and mixes other people's music
producer: creates music from scratch.
lots of people are both.
but yeah. disqualifying people who don't use CDJs or turntables is really, really, really stupid.

[myelectrolife]

I think that "DJ" is an over used term that generalizes a technique used many sample and electronic based musical artists. Its a dated term that leads to HUGE debates (like this one). The title DJ needs to be retired.

When you think about it its kinda weird to put your technique in the name of your musical identity.

Its like saying, "c'mon guys lets go see, Rock AC/DC"
or
"I had a great time at the, Jazz Miles Davis show."

All Im saying is that if you want to be technical, if your a Disc Jockey it would seem that you would need some discs to jockey,...right?

I use both 1200's and my computer. Both are equally valid ways to accomplish the same thing. One is not better then another.

But its a grey area with that title.
:)

[myelectrolife]

oh an frozen, i dont know what PC-2 Violence problem is but i got your back

[myelectrolife]

i guess dj is easier for the general public
but i still dont dig it in titles

[frozen pilgrim]

ohh, like "DJ ____"
I don't like that either. it's like calling yourself "rock band swervedriver". I just think it's a practical description/title for one who engages in selecting, playing, and mixing music for the enjoyment of others, as per its original meaning.

for the record, at the few little things I've done, I go by 'memrx'

[myelectrolife]

yesssssssss

memrx... i dig it

Your posts keep reminding me of the AMAZING Shpongle/Hallucinogen show I saw in sept.
