As the Top 100 DJs poll comes around we catch Danny Tenaglia in a reflective mood, following the loss of his mother. "But the highpoint of the year would be standing on the soil where I'm speaking to you from right now," he says. "It's a beautiful condominium overlooking a beautiful view of Ibiza Town on a clear sunny day. It's a wonderful place to wake up to." Tenaglia's 30th year behind the decks is the first year he's been a resident DJ in Ibiza, his Thursday session Be clocking up success that has even shocked him. He thought that 2008 would "for certain" be the year that he'd move to Serato or Traktor but he still hasn't felt the attachment. "I'm not saying never but I'd miss flipping through the vinyl or CDs," he says. And there was a return to vinyl and CDs in the form of 'Futurism', his first mix album in five years and first track -'The Space Dance' - in two years, both very well received and exhibiting his growing interest in a darker, more twisted techno sound to complement his tribal tag and roots in all things house.
