The King Street Crew

about

The King Street Crew aka Danny Tenaglia has remixed and produced several sizable club hits plus a spate of mix albums, several of his own LPs and a publicized feud with fellow super DJ Junior Vasquez. However, he is most well-known for his DJ residencies at the top New York clubs -- including Twilo (previously Sound Factory), Tunnel and Vinyl where he played every friday for 5 years -- and his marathon DJ sets. Danny grew up with Motown and the Philly sound as a child, and learned to play guitar and saxophone. At the age of 12, however, a friend introduced him to the world of DJ mixtapes and Tenaglia became fascinated with mixing techniques. He began hustling tapes on the street and, when he was old enough, hit the Manhattan club-scene with gusto. Coming of age in the late '70s introduced him to the club and DJ often cited as the best of all time, the Paradise Garage. Tenaglia had begun producing in the mid-'80s during his spell in Miami (a single from his Deepstate project signed to Atlantic and he also worked with Minimal, Sexy Records, TRIBAL America, Twisted and Strictly Rhythm; he really hit the mainstream with a 1993 remix of the Daou's "Surrender Yourself," a house epic which pioneered the harder underground sound which stormed Manhattan clubland (and therefore, most of America's dance scene) during the mid-'90s. With friend TRIBAL America was the 1994 club hit "Bottom Heavy"; it also led to abundant remix work for Madonna, Michael Jackson, Pet Shop Boys, Grace Jone
