Really Great Interview wow

[@markuseden2105]

In the age of instagram DJ's all these old skool New York house legends like Tenaglia and Humphries to name but two are such a breath of fresh air! There so humble! Normal guys in it for all the right reasons. No ego.. just love for house. Massive respect.

[@DJMag]

100%!

[@ryan2g]

what else was there aside from the lifestyle. Pure

[@gaz909909]

This man is 100% responsible for me becoming a DJ. It was "Look Ahead". The perfect song and I've been playing out ever since.

[@Neepsforbrains]

My first introduction to Danny Tenaglia was “The look - Glamour Girl” the guy is a legend.

[@thearx1]

Still a big staple in my vinyl sets … tune

[@thewraithize]

And a lot of the best DJ's around

[@Mars-du2mr]

Such a humble and nice guy. And after all these years, he still gets the twinkle in his eyes when talking about music. Absolute legend!

[@DJMag]

A true legend!

[@greggmitchell2392]

House classic - Celeda's vocals are hypnotic and Danny's track is propulsive = peak-hour dancefloor bliss

[@TechnoAlliance1]

So much respect for this man musically. And such a nice guy too.

[@staz8999]

I’ve been blessed to have been dancing since an early age here in New York City in Manhattan. One could dance seven days a week back in the 80s and 90s I’m saying all that because I’ve been to so many clubs and met so many DJs from Junior Vasquez, Victor Calderon, Johnny Vicious, Carl Cox, Paco Osuna, Chus & Ceballos, Markus Schulz, Danny Tenaglia and many others. I say this because from suffering with deep depression what I call stinking thinking I would always let my happy feet take me to clubs. After seeing this, I realized that my short interaction with Danny one night he really threw it down in Space Ibiza in NYC. I’m blessed to know all the ones above and the great ones are truly humble. So I may share what I heard: You don’t stop dancing because you grow old. You grow old because you stop dancing.

[@D.E.E.P.Y.]

Crazy how deep this track sounds for it's time.

[@OrgaNik_Music]

It really does, and it gives it this timeless quality. You can drop it in a modern set no problem.

[@joseluisrodripes]

This song is an anthem to go through difficulties with hope and rhythm, I simply love this song, thank you Mr. Tenaglia.

[@Heinz-rw1lk]

House-Music Anthem! One of my all-time favorites. Thank you, Danny Tenaglia! ♥

[@DJMag]

FACTS! This song never fails!

[@zeuszuki6698]

Music truly is the answer, it has got me through some tuff times ❤

[@JamesSmith-yc9ej]

Thursday 31 May 2001 Steve Lawler presents... The Midweek Session at Code in Birmingham UK with guest DJ, Danny Tenaglia. Over 1000 people turned away that night after the club reached capacity. Danny played an extra 2 hours on top of his scheduled slot. As well as occasionally chatting to the crowd, Danny had "borrowed" a spotlight from the lighting rig and was manually operating it to add his own spin to the lighting in the club that night. These were the days of tracks such as Superchumbo - Revolution, X-Press 2's AC/DC and Muzikizum. The atmosphere was unbelievable from the second Danny stepped up to the turntables to the last track he played. Up there with one of the best nights of my life. Thank you, Danny 🙏

[@pizzapunk8816]

i was there.

[@simoneastland]

Thanks DJ Mag for featuring Danny Tenaglia & this top track. I still play it ever since I first heard it in Brighton UK, then through my backpacking years in Asia & Oz, settled in Wales and now I still dance to it in small gigs or large park events. He really has done 50 countries!

[@RandomnessTube.]

Music Is The Answer is defo in the top 20 house tracks of all time it can make anyone dance.

[@eg5595]

I love this song so much. I dj it for my little niece & nephew on weekends, they immediately start dancin & prancin. Thank you for creating a banger!

[@DJMag]

Wholesome!

[@bobholness203]

This track blew me away when it got released and it still does. Top top track 💙

[@CeruleanSky1111]

I owe so much to Danny. He was a mentor to me in the early 90s. He influenced me greatly and taught me so much and I am eternally grateful. Mad respect!

[@floridaman2214]

Saw him in 1999 in Miami at WMC. Still the best to this day.

[@damon-burton]

What a journey through time. Danny Tenaglia is a true legend. His passion for music is infectious. The story behind "Music Is The Answer" is a testament to the power of perseverance and the magic that can happen when creativity meets opportunity. It's incredible to see how a song can transcend time and become a timeless classic. This video is a must-watch for any music lover, not just dance fans.

[@DJMag]

Thanks for watching!

[@damon-burton]

@@DJMag Thanks for sharing such a legendary story.

[@lvvalleyrez]

Such a great DJ, producer, and remixer. His remix of Little Fluffy Clouds is so stunning.

[@djalexocampo]

No words… my absolute hero and deeper inspiration, BLESSINGS!!! to the one and only Danny Tenaglia!!!! ❤❤❤

[@LastBastion9999]

DT is a straight-up icon dance music that still is kickin' it today. I remember when this came out around '98 or so off of his "Tourism" release. Of course, this would be huge. But I don't think many felt it would be the behemoth it is now. I think most of the magic of the track is that it's a little simplistic - it really just has a few elements (DT PUN! HA! - get it?) done extremely well. It's not really that complicated a track. And IT'S HARD TO DO SIMPLE STUFF THAT CONNECTS. All the stars aligned to make this a now time-honored choon. Much love, Danny. With your help, we all passed the quiz.

[@SanRemoMotelBar]

This guy has a craaaaaaazy rich catalogue. If you haven't dug into his songs and remixes, it's a treasure trove for diggers!

[@staceydunn979]

Danny you are a legend and this song is legendary 🔥 thank you for the music ! Honestly one of the best tracks ❤️

[@mrblf652]

One of the GOATs of the NY music scene.

[@BODROVDJ]

I played his tracks on vinyl in Ukrainian clubs, but unfortunately not everyone liked this house tracks. But I didn't care, I got high in the 2000s from his music! Those were the best of times! Now the music is much more different, but I still play sets with music from those times 😊

[@celercizer]

Leave this "club" 🤭

[@BODROVDJ]

@@celercizer that was 18 years ago)) it's too late))

[@londonroulette]

Music is DEFINITELY the answer! Look at the world now then the music that goes with it!

[@glencurtis6052]

Was literally listening to Danny's Depeche Mode remix of 'I Feel Loved' an hour ago. Best remix ever

[@iamleilaniquevedo4658]

Thank you for sharing. I will check it out gen x here

[@iamleilaniquevedo4658]

Kudos Dj danny T.

[@JurassicTrance]

That one was nominated for a Grammy

[@narcisolon]

Had the honor of seeing him live many times. Best way I could describe what he does is he paints sonic landscapes with his music throughout the night/morning.

[@DJMag]

Great words!

[@djemmay]

What a legend! What a well-spoken interview; he’s spot on with the fact that it’s became a timeless anthem due to it not getting saturated through overexposure back in the day. I remember his remixes just as much as he own productions. Two of my faves are his takes on Gisele Jackson ‘Love Commandments’ and Kinane ‘Heaven’.

[@Dodiscrossover]

Oh yes....anthem...timeless masterpiece. Goose bumps all over ...every time. Dear Danny....thank you

[@slymothertrucker3597]

A few 6hrs sets have come my way through Danny, met him in Birmingham, England at the SAS awards in the 90's, also Ibiza, and Australia. He knows how to do it, its that simple.

[@tellerrecords]

such a Classic tune

[@chrisvillanueva5307]

Danny tenaglia, thank you 🙏 for making this song. It inspires us all to dance and live ❤

Legend!

[@dannyseville2543]

Cevins kiss the sky mix is for me the best version of this. One I like to include in my mixes.

[@JuanBassHead]

The song is almost as long as this video is. The extended mix, which I prefer, is longer than this video. Thank you for giving us some of the background to this great tune.

[@DJMag]

Thanks for listening

[@alesams3582]

Thank you!!

[@lajc7222]

Green Velvet - Flash (Danny Tenaglia’s Nitrous Oxide mix) is in my all time top 5

[@mike7920]

I never would have guessed they did them in the same session. Be yourself is the better record IMO, totally unique.

Now the story of Turn Me On please.... his best

[@ArnoldLokman]

The "video" Danny is talking about is from davepeo77 KZbin channel. This channel has the same visual for all the tracks it published. But this vid has over 15mill views and was published 16 years ago. It's a longer version. There's another, more official shorter version which was used in this video. It was published on Celeda VEVO channel 15 years ago and gained only 1.5 mill views.
