Although Danny has a lot of remix credits, I really only remember his work on https://www.discogs.com/Janet-Jackson-The-Pleasure-Principle-The-Danny-Tenaglia-Remixes/release/146107

Thanks, Paul!

I have the Danny Tenaglia’s Labor Of Love Edit which clocks in just under 8 minutes. But that’s all I have. Do you have links to other mixes he did for that song? There are like 50+ releases of the song and I’ve checked most…quite a few mixes by tons of remixers but only 1-2 by Danny as far as I can quickly see.

Hey Fred
I have five 12inches of I Feel Loved (including three promos) with the tenaglia remixes ranging from 8 to 14 (!) minutes. The eight-minute edit is quite enough, I must say. We should find them all on YouT***, though. Enjoy!

One of the best 12″, along with some others they recorded. If that didn’t get you moving, well, then you weren’t alive. Thanks!

So cool to have another Ian Levine treat. Danny Tenaglia was one of my favourite remixers in the nineties. Looking forward to this version of this classic.

Cheers Paul 🙂

I had completely forgotten about this remake! After a long working day I came home only half an hour ago (it´s 6.30 pm over here), switched on the tv in order to check the latest news about the 2018 Soccer World Cup and then my smartphone informed me about your newest upload. There can´t be a better way to start into the wekend. Love it! Danny Tenaglia and Ian Levine – you jus can´t go wrong there.
Turn it up, guys!
