So
many great performers are featured this year we thought we'd
spotlight someone we haven't done before. Danny Tenaglia (born
March 7, 1961) is a New York-based DJ and music producer. Some
of his fans claim he invented and pioneered the "progressive
garage" sound. Tenaglia's tracks and remixes use a blend
of progressive, tribal and hard house sounds. Although he has
released tracks on a variety of labels, he is more associated
with Tribal America and Twisted. His track "Elements"
was a Billboard #1 for three weeks in 1998. His 2006 follow-up
single "Dibiza" is now out.
