Review
Genre and Mood
Nicole Moudaber and Carl Cox made See You Next Tuesday as a techno track, and Danny Tenaglia remade it for the 2017 remix package, which Discogs files under techno and tech house. Hypnotic and intense are the feelings named here, a reading of a nine-and-a-half-minute club record rather than a critic’s verdict: no review describes this mix in detail, so this page says what can be sourced and leaves the rest to your ears.
Song Summary
The original See You Next Tuesday came out on 14 April 2014 as an EP on MOOD Records, Moudaber’s label, with a Deep MOOD version beside it. In December 2017 MOOD released the remixes: the original and the Deep Mood version again, plus new mixes by Danny Tenaglia, Solardo, Raxon, Truncate, Black Asteroid and Trunkline. Tenaglia’s, See You Next Tuesday (Danny Tenaglia’s Return to Twilo Mix), is the third track and runs nine minutes and thirty-three seconds, almost as long as the original. Its title, Return to Twilo, is the one written clue to his intention.
Musical Breakdown
No review walks through this mix, so the parts below are listening prompts, not a map of the track.
Intro
A nine-minute remix is built to be mixed in slowly. Listen for how long it stays minimal before it commits.
Main Section
Listen for what remains of the Moudaber and Cox original, and what Tenaglia brings in or takes out.
Outro
Listen for how the mix leaves room for the next record, as a DJ tool should.
Concepts in Focus
A remix package like this one sends a single track to several dancefloors at once. Eight versions of See You Next Tuesday let each DJ pick the one that fits a set. Compare how DJ Anna turns a pop single into long club pressure in Gorgon City, Zak Abel, Dj Anna – Unmissable (DJ Anna Remix).
The title is a lesson in club culture. Twilo was a New York nightclub from 1995 to 2001, at 532 West 27th Street, in the building that had housed the Sound Factory. Tenaglia began a Saturday residency there in 1996 and moved to Tunnel in 1998; the club closed in 2001 under pressure from Mayor Giuliani’s quality-of-life campaign. A residency ties a DJ to one room and one crowd, week after week, and naming a mix after it tells that crowd where the music comes from.
Artistic Context
Nicole Moudaber, born in Ibadan, Nigeria, in 1977, began by promoting parties in Beirut in the 1990s before moving to London; she came to Carl Cox’s attention in 2009 when she signed to his label Intec, and launched MOOD in 2013. Cox, a British house and techno DJ, held the Music is Revolution residency at Space Ibiza from 2001 to 2016, and a version of See You Next Tuesday appeared on his Space Ibiza 2014 compilation. Tenaglia played on Moudaber’s MoodRAW tour in 2014.
Impact and Reception
Tenaglia, a Grammy nominee for his remix of Depeche Mode’s I Feel Loved, brought a New York history to a collaboration of two DJs at home in Ibiza’s clubs. Give it the full nine minutes.
