CIAO FOR NOW,

DJ DANNY TENAGLIA - from BROOKLYN, NEW YORK !!
- A very humble, loving, sincere, passionate person, but today ... I am a very, very ANGRY MAN!



I honestly understand Tenaglia's reaction...if a DJ asks that his set doesn't get recorded you don't go behind his back and do it...

OUCH !!!

[TNT]

:S

[TRANCExual]

what a big deal!

[T.R.A.X]

so wat they recorded his set ??

[rob]

ROFL HAHAHAHAHAHA!
...U don't wanna mess with an Italian New Yorker!

Chill Danny, I heard this set as soon as it was leaked, its not worth this reaction..

[TranceFusion]

Damn well, since there was an agreement not to record his set then they did a big mistake. I would get mad too! But not to this degree i would instead sue them and that's it.

[Genesis]

So what's the deal with that? Sets get recorded all the time...
Firing a message with whatever bad slang he can conquer makes it better?
Tenaglia has a global reputation and him losing it in public like that is no
good at all.

What's the big issue anyway? It's not like the universe fell up its own arse...

[Raneem]

I guess recording his set WITHOUT informing him is the issue that made him angry

[Fawzi]

The thing is, his anger is understandable, but he's punishing too many innocent people. If someone recorded a full live set in high quality, it's highly doubtful someone other than those who run the club did it. But it's the regulars customers there that are being punished the most

[Nesta]

100% With danny! it IS a big deal.. the recording of a set in high quality can be burned on a cd, distributed and sold (illegally) !!! he has his rights!

[System.S]

I cant believe what I am reading, is that really him? I mean why does he write such a thing while he has managers and promoters who has lawyers that can take care of these "illegal" issues? He does not have to worry about it, actually there is nothing he can personally do about it, they are people behind him that can take care of these things.

If that was me I would personally just tell my managers and labels to take care of it easily and as smooth as possible while I lay back, keep my reputation and image to the standard I have tried to build for years.

He just humiliated himself really, this guy has a wide global reputation, he does not need to act like that or get down to this, its not worth it.

Shame.

Man.. this is some old news.. i think it goes back to summer of 2007...

anyway.. Tenaglia is very protective about his tracks... he thinks of his sets as shows.. when you go pay to see him perform its just like a show... and if people started listening to his sets then his performance would not stand out...

alot of the times he gets acapellas/tools/tracks that shouldn't be in the public's hands YET as he is requested by the producers of those pieces and he is just filling their requests...

Did he overreact? yes!!

should he have the final say over whether his sets should be recorded or not... Definitely yes too!!
