Danny Tenaglia says he’s “resigning” from the music business to figure out how to stay relevant in a new electronic music universe. “Now it seems people just want to see whose name goes above whose because this one is selling more tickets. I’m not enjoying the journey anymore,” says the New York DJ who was a fixture at top clubs, starting at Paradise Garage and later Twilo, for 20 years. Tenaglia produced remixes for Madonna, Right Said Fred and Pet Shop Boys during his career, but he didn’t make money. And after losing a half-million dollars on a penthouse in Long Island City he bought before the market crashed in 2008, Tenaglia had to tour to pay the bills. Now he’s burned out from travel and wants to work on making his own music more appealing — “and have it be not just about darkness and flashy lights and nitro gas,” he tells Page Six. “I want the music to be enough.” Tenaglia will relocate to Miami and clean out his Long Island City work loft, packed with 15,000 records, in the next month.
