    DANNY TENAGLIA "FUTURISM"


    Fans of superstar DJ Danny Tenaglia are used to grooving all night and all day to his marathon, 16-hour sets (yes, 16 hours) in the world’s biggest nightclubs.

    His double-CD set Futurism — Tenaglia’s first compilation mix in six years — doesn’t approach even the three-hour mark. But it’s no less compelling than his epic live performances.

    From the very first minute, we sense we’re in for a deep journey through the best that progressive house music has to offer, with the mesmerizingly intricate tribal drums of Yello’s Indigo Bay setting a deliciously dark tone. Tenaglia shows off his mixing expertise as the track swells and morphs into Metaphysical Vibe by R.T.A. — you realize something different is happening but his blend is so seamless, everything melts into one buttery entity. When African chants jump out of nowhere on Afefe Iku’s Bodydrummin’, it’s hard to believe the track has changed.

    Tenaglia throws in a new track of his own, The Space Dance (inspired by his performances at the legendary Ibiza club Space), which closes out CD 1 with minimalist bliss.

    CD 2 keeps up the momentum, weaving rhythmic textures seemingly out of thin air on the opening track, Mid Life Crisis by Fred Giannelli; piercing your soul with the clattering beats of Murder Murder by Silent Servant; and making your body move involuntarily with the deep bass and bouncy tech-house of Dave Angel’s Mothership Pt. 1.

    At once classic and groundbreaking, with Futurism, Tenaglia has given fans a way to enjoy the energy and creativity of his unmatched live sound without having to stay up all night. Welcome back, Danny — nobody does it better.
