Mmm classic. Loved hearing that song in a club.


Mauro Picotto is definitely one of my favourite all-time producers/DJs. Maybe not the most skilled of them all in my opinion, but that's open to judgement, isn't it?

um, no.

First of all his remix of Clocks is the best I have ever heard. Second of all he dips into every genre from trance to techno, house, and tribal, etc.
Third of all he plays all over the world and is even going to come to Minneapolis, MN (not exactly a culture area for that sort of thing).
Before hearing any of his stuff I was not even a fan of techno and he made me into one simply because he is an amazing producer and DJ.

Discuss! and make arguments for your opinion, don't just say "Pfft, No!"


wtf!!!

with so much talent out there production and dj wise, its absolutely STUPID to say (OR BELIEVE) that there is a 'best', just because a certain producer/dj's style is what you fall in love with first doesn't f*cking mean they're the best newb.

ok, so his mixing is not best, his production is not best, his selection is not best, his tours aren't best, blah blah blah isn't best.
But when you put all those things together they make him the best DJ in the world.
Some of people you guys mentioned excell at one thing or another but i'm saying when you factor in everything that a DJ in about I think Mauro Picotto excels at balancing all those things and being good at every one of them, that is why he is MINE #1 in the world.

Lizard is godly, but Picotto isn't the best in the world, in my opinion. I'd say that the best in the world right now is Armin van Buuren, at least as far as superstar DJs go. The next big thing is DEFINITELY Luke Chable, though.


Posted by NuDarkBeat on Apr-15-2004 05:26:

ummm no... we all know its Paul Oakenfold j/k
but seriously no he isnt the best dj in the world not even close my friend


Posted by DjCoz on Apr-15-2004 06:19:

Cool



Mauro... Quite a wicked DJ and producer... Love Alchemist and was quite friendly when I saw him live. He attacks and doesn't withdraw.

He's pretty good, you gotta give him that much. As in track selection-wise, and he knows how to get the crowd going. seeing him play live always means a good time for me.

As a techno dj though, he lacks the technical ability... just look at dave clarke, adam beyer, chris liebing, umek, ben sims (who can scratch with his elbow) jeff mills and all the other techno titans, and then you'll find mauro doesnt stand up very well next to them.

however i still like his music because it has its unique sound.


Posted by TheVrk on Apr-15-2004 08:09:

he definitly keeps me interested in techno


Posted by Zayatz on Apr-15-2004 11:55:

def. not the most skilled dj...

clarke owns him easly.
also varela/cox/umek + many names

That's one of the most moronic statements i've ever read on these forums. Thanks for the laff's.

Cheers,
Mike

Well since u brought up the topic of TECHNICAL..i think JAMES ZABIELA is right on top... he really is technical... not that i dont like picotto but i think JZ is most technically equipped guy..

my opinion..


Posted by Scanate on Apr-15-2004 15:32:

no one are the best

wow i cant believe i missed that 1....i have to agree with you mike


Posted by Anno Domino on Apr-15-2004 18:43:

zabiela, danny tenaglia, digweed, Dave Clarke is certainly interesting to watch


and just for some reason i die when i see Sander K on the decks


Posted by tu_face on Apr-15-2004 19:30:

he is not the best dj in the world.

he is however probably one of the most unique and original. techincally he is not always amazing (although sometimes he can be, be it by fluke or drugs) but he has definitly played the cleverest sets i've ever heard. when he played @ storm he played the most original set i've seen..

production wise, gandalf!

You think drugs make a dj more technical?


Posted by GT40 on Apr-15-2004 20:00:

Lol, Mauro is certainly one of the entertainers, his Timewarp set is really good only Adam Beyer's set is better than Mauro's IMO. Production wise Mauro's on fire, can't wait for the album.


Posted by ClubHarder on Apr-15-2004 20:06:

Never seen him live (will be doin soon at GK hopefully tho!) but have always wanted to, really enjoy his productions, probably one of the main reasons i started to listen to techno. Baguette is jus amazin, along with bangkok and hong kong, plus his remix of clocks and pretty much the whole alchemist EP


Posted by Shad0wmaster on Apr-15-2004 20:10:

Picotto is my second favourite techno DJ. His producing skills are fucking massive and I love his new bangin techno style, Taotek and New Time New Place are getting heavy abuse at my hands

Although credit for getting me into techno goes to the one and only DJ Preach (Who's also a sick producer by the way.)

Picotto Rawks!! I'm glad to hear someone thinks he's the best dj
in the world,, your on the right track.. I don't personally think
he's the Best, but he has made some classics that i will never forget.
A friend of mine gave me his album "The Album" when i first started
listening to Techno. It's probably one of my favorite albums ever.
"Pulsar" made him my favorite dj in 2001. Also "Proximus" was great.
"The Album" should be in everyone's cd case. I saw him last year in chicago for the NYE 2004 party, it was one of the best parties i have ever been to.. His live set at Trance Energy (i forget what year) was the best, "Its like this, It's Like That"

The melody from Like this, Like that was stolen from Armin's Blue Fear. Armin took him to court and won.

the best dj imo is definately either Dave Clarke or Picotto, tuff choice tho
