Danny Tenaglia Rant.

[RDR]

Its a marketing gimmik

Danny "Please dont pirate my performances!" yadda yadda

Everyone else - "Lets have a listen then"

Had me laughing though.

And ALSO




he's a twat.

[holotropik]

OMG!! wot a cack.

[koma]

yes it does. plus it just doesn't sound like someone who's been djing for 30 years.

on the contrary, this is exactly how Tenaglia sounds !!!

a month or two ago he was speaking against people recording parties with their digital cameras and mobile phones and putting the videos on youtube etc... I mean, wtf????

he's protecting some fresh, unreleased, never heard before tracks?
what?!
like the crowd gives a flying f*ck if the track is unreleased or not, as long as they find it's good. and as dirty bass said, its THE BEST promotion for the music.

Especially if the music is unreleased.
If everyone is digging some mix from a party, and the tunes they really dig are unreleased, you end up with this big buzz about these tracks nobody can get hold of.
Which not only creates good promotion for the tracks for when they are released, but also generates buzz around the DJ playing them.
So who doesn`t benefit here?

Tenaglia is tied up with major label interests though, the same interests who are shitting themselves over the market change, and will do anything to stop free distribution of music, for profit or not.

One of the cool things about the dance scene was it`s independance and feeling of rebellion against the corporate drollness of everything.

The superstar corporate DJ killed this.

what an idiot...I do wonder if it's real as it doesn't sound like somebody who's first language is english.....

I would have thought that the gigantic fee he charges for 8 hours, the least he could do was to allow you to record it....

I know dj's at least like to be asked if you are recording - but if you asked and they said no you'd just think 'cock'.....

as long as you don't try and start selling the mixes who cares?

well, selling recorded sets in italy isnt really fresh news, i heard quite a lot people complaining about it. thats just lame.

[BDC]

its a battle he and dj's cant win at this point...it isnt anything new...come on now Danny...


I will say this though...I bumped into him a couple of times, and I will say he is a super nice guy and a really good dj.
