I remember reading somewhere that Picotto regretted producing every trance track he made...

idk why though, helped his fame.

The mind is a messy place 'cause i remember something like that too..
And in the same article he said he wanted to be remembered as the man who created the eclectic genre? Correct me if im wrong

His techno produtions, although not to my personal liking, are fairly decent. Having said that, Funkytech funkytime is one of the most horrid wastes of vinyl ever to be released. I mostly blame Fergie, though.

I don't care for his 'trance' productions.

What's so horrible about it? That voice-stretch is amazing IMO

Probably just due to the fact I have something against most, if not all, techno reworks of older tracks.. Tracks like that just do well because of a well known sample, not because it's any quality music-wise. Funkytech funkytown is a prize example of this.. A track that's plain and simple but getting lots of attention and airplay because of the sample..

Allrighty then. I feel you on that one.. But there are exceptions IMO this is one of them.. I've always despised raping samples but there are good reworks too. Just as long as we respect the originals!
A good example could be Proper Education? I own every last Floyd album and i was HORRIFIED when i heard that Eric's come out with a remix, but still.. it's ok.

Techno please ...

When I saw him last October, he had his Meganite posse with him, played a pretty banging set of hard techy tracks, played a few of his cheesy classics, then threw in some minimal toward the end which kind of ruined the energy level he started with. Overall, a good show, but like Chesco said, Mauro's lost a lot of respect for making his parmesan trance. I can't say that I don't like it because his trance tracks were the gateway drug to EDM for a lot of people, myself included.

But I definitley think he's a better, more capable techno producer.

Techno. Special mention to Taub (as nobody else has ).

Oh, and Verdi is immense.

+1. picotto at TE 2001 was a monster! his borderline tracks and great alternations between techno and trance tore the place apart

keeping a good balance worked best for him imo

Techno. Pandoro. Plus Mauro hasnt produced trance in 7-8 years.

IMO...Better pre Meganite...

Personally...I love the guy no matter what he pumps out...but I like the pre Meganite tracks better myself.

He said in an interview i dug up last night when asked about his tech-orientation that he does not want to be known for any particular genre, just that he wants to play stuff that makes him happy and the crowd happy aswell

Mauro is one of the most talented DJ's IMO. You HAVE to see him perform live, putting some classics in his set. And he has produced more than 250 tracks I think. Who can beat that...

i dont get it. whos william hung and how is that relevant lol

Posted by halexander837 on Mar-09-2007 15:58:

Come to think of it

i have to agree that his techno is better than his trance

Posted by Atom-B on Mar-09-2007 16:09:

I just love those spacey pads he uses and that poppy synth. Plus, his Megavoices remix of Techno Harmony was breathtaking.

I saw him dj in San Diego once. It was great. One of the best djs I've ever seen. He does a reallly great job at messing with all the knobs on the mixer. Really makes the music that he plays seem so much better than when djs just put on a record and let it play. even in his recorded mixes that I've heard he does this. Excellent dj and producer i might add.

I consider him a techi-ish dj though. same goes for his productions.

he sux at djing.. ;]

wasn't mentioned:
mauro picotto - planet.. it wasn't so 'mainstream' track but i liked it very much when i was 'entering to edm'.. a bit weird. today i just reminded it.. still awesome for me (but it should be called 'trance'), some others?
pegasus (also not so 'mainstream'), hong kong..
i liked his techno works at beginning.. but now i'm more experienced in tec so his tech tracks sounds very mainstream for me..
