[QUOTE]Dear Friends, please, just LET me BE, LET me BE! >> The Time Has Come for ME to "finally" BE MYSELF!! :) I have been telling people for so many years now to JUST BE YOURSELF!! But for me, being myself was living with 1 foot in a closet and 1 outside "trying" to BE the happiest DJ on Earth, which I have been, and give the World the best I had to Give because I know how happy I have made people wit...h the gift of music from GOD and this has been a great blessing .... so I simply Could Not Stop!! Since everything has CHANGED since I first realized I wanted to BE a DJ forever like playing records" and getting a job in nightclubs back in the early 70's (gag) and now here I am at 51, been around the world many times, put over One Million Miles in the sky, 3 full Passports and my Heart has been YEARNING for something New & Different besides music. BUT, as I have been trying to STOP and make BIG changes like finally calling my home in Miami since 2006 HOME, but was always to busy between NY residencies and travels and it's been getting the best of me lately. Airplanes, Airports, Hotels, Foreign-isms, and what can I say: I HAVE SEEN THE MOUNTAINTOP as a DJ and I just need to STOP and smell the roses of my life and simply try to "Grow Up and BE who I really am" but "everything" - including the need for finances to afford my Loft of 10 years in NY which I can no longer afford and must let go of by July . . . I know many people think I am wealthy but I assure I am not! I have lived well and have very nice things to show for my earnings, but I cannot stop working!! When I say I have been writing for the past 5 days, it has been DEEP!! I kept starting over and over and it's turned into a major journal and sooooo much of this I promise I want to share with ALL of you, The Good and The Bad, but thankfully it's mostly good! ON my way home on Wed from DR & Montreal I was having a bad day as I had a head cold, and there's no enjoyment in an airplane or in a hotel room out of the country with a headcold .... anyhow, I was traveling back to Miami alone as my co-workers flew back to NY and I was just looking out the window the whole flight and for 3 hours I was just thinking HOW AM I EVER GOING TO PROPERLY RESIGN (not retire) . . . And when I got home I realized I left a small carry on murse bag with many personal things, keys, passport and so on and at first all I could feel was FURY!! I tried everything between Lost & Found and the car service, but as my ID was in there and now 6 days later no return, well all I can say is that THIS has been The Revelation that I needed to say: LADIES & GENTLEMEN: As of this day, I am "resigning" (not retiring) and all future gigs will sadly BE canceled except for My Belated Birthday @ Pacha on Sat April 28th! This will BE my final gig until I feel I am ready to return back to the decks. This is thee hardest decision I have ever had to make in my career, but if not now, then when?? I apologize to all parties involved but I think most people that know me personally know that this has been coming! I have performed at WMC 26 years in a row! I have played every year in Ibiza since 2000! It's time for ME to Stop and settle down, move out from the loft which will BE a very MAJOR ordeal . . . OMG!! I have soooooooooo much STUFF!!! There is no way I can do all this and travel and have a life . . . Only I can make the decisions of what stays and what goes, including what I will do with over 10,000 records, etc etc etc ....... SO in closing: I LOVE YOU ALL and I just wanna Thank U 4 Lettin me BE MYSELF all these years, and now I beg you to please continue with me in my journey and my quest for something new and wonderful. I will never give up my first love with MUSIC, but there has to BE something else (or someone) out there waiting for me! :) >> I promise to keep updating here, but I needed to do this today - in order to BE FREE & BE ME!! Please BE kind, this has not been easy and I am a very sensitive person. God BE with US all! See you soon!! :)[/QUOTE]

Re: Tenaglia on the bread line

Never really understood why he wouldnt have any of his sets go public (maybe someone can enlighten me) but his GU Athens was great i thought.

Any other time i heard him he was always just ok. Wont make much difference to me what he does tbh.

Re: Tenaglia on the bread line

I saw him loads around 97 till 04 and he was always great. But the stuff he puts out now is terrible

Re: Tenaglia on the bread line

he types like a 12 year old girl. i ain't reading that shit

Re: Tenaglia on the bread line

Best clubbing experience of my life was hearing him at Bedrock for Digweed's birthday in either 1998 or 1999 (cant remember exact date).

He absolutely rocked it - started with Jam & Spoon-Stella and it was tune after tune after tune. Played the [url="http://www.mercuryserver.com/forums/djdb.php?id=20"]Green Velvet[/url]-Flash accapella all over the place as well (months before his mix was released)

Ended up dancing next to the Global Underground Fat Lads all night who were enjoying it as much as me.

Re: Tenaglia on the bread line

Fact.

It must be the season of the crybaby rants and Sex and the City-style big decisions.

Re: Tenaglia on the bread line

Sounds like he's burned out from his work, poor guy. :( Its too bad about his loft as well.

Re: Tenaglia on the bread line

Since this thread seems to be started to troll DT, I will just say that I haven't listened to much from him but Athens was a huge mix for me back when GU was in it's prime and when I first started getting into house and it is still a fantastic mix. So good for him for lasting so long in the scene. Listening to some Absolute Reason right now FYI. :RockOn:

Re: Tenaglia on the bread line

I hope most of you will be writing like Marcel Proust, James Juyce, Bertolt Brecht, Jorge Borges and Graham Greene altogether when you turn 51. pay some respect for a guy who could be your father and played house when you were using a ladder to climb mommy's favourite kitchen carpet.

Will the horsie be left behind in the "loft" or will it be moved to the new apartment like Chandler and Joey's big ceramic dog?

I don't recall any arguing. I remember him tring some old routine that he must have thought worked for him at some point. All I remember was him posting the same old pictures over and over again, rant on about trolling, buthurt etc, run around calling people faggot (which is OK because he calls his friends faggot), Then at some point he would tell people to delete their account because the internet is not for them, then apologise for the whole thing and and say it was just a bit of fun, then carry on the same behaviour.
