In 1995 he got his first opportunity to be a residence-DJ at the Alhambra Club on the Sunday's afternoon.
Two years later he had his first collaboration with Radio Mare Imperiale which introduced him also for some gigs at the Imperiale di Tirenia in Pisa.
After that it took about another year to see him in control on the decks at the nocturnal clubs.
The first [and only] club which saw him Bing resident on Saturdays was the Evolution Planet in Busseto and, in time, Tatanka's LiveSets made their round across the Italian nation... which eventually brought him bookings at clubs such as "Shock", "Domina" and the "TntKamasutra".
Nowadays Tatanka refuses to be a resident at any club, in order to stay available to play his LiveSets every Saturdaynight in a different corner of the beautifull Italian nation together with the Free Spirit family.

Love is Medicine
Tatanka Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
can't give you all of my time
different emotions
cloud up my mind
don't worry
I won't leave you behind
I just need my space
head down to my place
gonna make it shake from Denver to JA
Tatanka world wide make no mistake
coming from within
that's where it begins
listen to your heart
this love is medicine
put me in the mood
good attitude
one thing I'm missing I think it is you
playing playing
games with my mind
can't stop these feelings inside
I live to rock the show something you should know
if you love me you will let me go
out on the road
been gone for so long
you know my love is strong
all I wanna do
come back see you
girl you know my love is true
no time to waste
can not hesitate
your love I appreciate
put me in the mood
good attitude
one thing its missing I think it is you
