Tenaglia’s Athens mix is another seminal moment in GU history. Securing him was a major coup for the brand, which up to this point had been exclusively the preserve of British DJs. Danny’s tripped out tribalism was the hottest sound in clubland. His all-day sets at Miami’s annual Winter Music Conference were at their most influential period. DJs from around the world rushed home to infuse their own residencies with dark, twisted drum-fuelled tracks, but Tenaglia remained the undisputed master of the genre.

This mix brought his New York afterhours vibe to a huge new audience. It raised his wider profile beyond simply the gushing praise of the DJs and journalists lucky enough to travel to the States to hear him, and saw him in great demand for international guest slots and a string of amazing UK festival appearances.

Danny’s distinctive tribal house was a new direction but a perfect fit. Just the right intense slice of dancefloor alchemy that GU mixes had become famous for. The influence of his sound continued to be heard in clubs everywhere for years, but GU010 marked the time it first ripped across many thousands of bedrooms and personal stereos and raised the game for those clubbers forever.
