Danny Tenaglia shares the story behind one of dance music’s most treasured tracks, ‘Music Is The Answer’

Danny Tenaglia shares the story behind one of dance music’s most treasured tracks, ‘Music Is The Answer’.

 

In this episode of our Making Of A Dance Classic series, the legendary New York DJ recalls how he received a phone call in 1998 from vocalist Celeda, who had a concept for a song — she proceeded to sing what have since become some of the most recognisable lyrics in dance music history. Tenaglia and Celeda subsequently met up in New York and finished the track in a single studio session

 

Tenaglia also talks about the track’s unofficial music video, approaching 50 years as a DJ, and how music truly is the answer.

 

Electronic music history is rich with unforgettable and timeless classics like these. In our Making Of A Dance Classic series, DJ Mag explores the tales behind some of the world’s favourite tracks, told by the people that made them. You can watch the episode above, and subscribe to DJ Mag’s YouTube channel for more exclusive content here.
