some good points here, but i dunno why there is so much HYPE over Picotto? the guy has cheesey track selection, production's are well on a average 5/10. i agree Picotto is for newbies, Dave Clarke is just intelligent seen Dave twice and he knows reallly how to play around with the decks, sooo smoothly and ofcourse knows how to tear the shit apart

chris what i said is the truth ofcourse people have opinions but really when it comes down to basing it on facts, its just like that Picotto is famous, Dave Clarke underrated and a lot more intelligent, without any doubts

no offence to anyone, but Dave Clark is a lot better DJ than a lot of the trance DJ's and Mauro Picotto
his mixing is amazing as well as all the scratching and the mind blowing shit that he does behind the decks

Clarke is from another planet!

Well, let me reemphasize - PICOTTO is THE KING !!!!

I don't understand why mixing skills play such an important role to you guys? Do you come to a party to judge a DJ, or to enjoy great music and the vibe? I think the latter should be the reason to come to a party!

Picotto creates a perfect techno and even somewhat trancy journey every time I see him and the vibe during his parties is absolutely off the hook. He is also very consistent, in fact, the only DJ whom I've enjoyed every single time I've seen him.

dude no offence but have you ever seen Dave Clark? i bet not, I've seen him and believe me mixing in his case makes a huge difference!

Mixing IS important. Even Mauro himself said it in an interview I have of a party he did in Ibiza. I'm not saying Dave Clarke is any different, I just haven't seen Clarke to tell the difference (except @ Idance)

Theres really no argument here as they are both totally different kind of djs. Dave Clarke started out spinning hiphop in the 80's and with this experience, has turned into one of the most respected techno dj's ever. Mauro has been spinning for about half as long as Dave, and his career as a dj was sparked by his more "commercial" productions, and not as much his dj skills. Though Mauro is a very good dj, as well as a great mixer and producer, his true dj skills dont come even close to what Dave can do on the decks. Though i did vote for Mauro, it was truly based on my love for his music, and for the energy he brings to every party he spins at. But for "pure" techno, you gotta go with DC.

Let's just agree that they both suck my left nut.

(It was a JOKE, relax)

but ur nick says that ur a techno addict..
did u vote for mauro cuz it's not pure techno or do u like his commerical production??

Posted by drizzt81 on Feb-15-2003 17:10:

last time I saw Clarke, i had to go to a different area, since I was about to fall asleep.

last time I saw Picotto, I needed medical attention for my feet, since there were on fire (from teh dancing u know?)

so Picotto

I am a techno addict, and the reason i voted for Mauro is because i like Mauro's track selection better. Mauros style of techno is more appealing to me, and his music is also WAY better to dance to!

that's u and ur opinion about the guy - i respect that..

but see i have the same opinion about dc, and his sets can me groove a whole lot easier than mauro's.. btw. i d/l that set from nature1, a couple of nice tracks, i repeat a couple.. his mixing was ok - standard...

but i still love dave

Posted by Skipper on Feb-15-2003 21:36:

technically, Dave is far better than a lot of other DJs on the scene today.

I haven't heard either of them in person so I can't vote...but in terms of raw techno and mixing ability/creativity, my vote is for Clarke. (of course, that's not all that matters.)

Well im glad you took my advice on downloading that set, and that you found at least a few tracks to you liking. And i can totally see why you'd prefer DC over MP (you like the raw shit), and i respect that as well. Thanks for your input, and for going a little deeper than just labeling Mauro "crappytrance"!
p.s. i still love dave

I just hope he comes to town, if not - mtl here i come
i wanna hear him b4 the summer, cuz i'm pretty sure i'm gonna hear him spin somewhere in europe..

but i still don't get it - how can it be 26 to 21 for MP??

Posted by Elmo-On-XTC on Feb-15-2003 22:11:

I like Mauro better. Both have incredible mixing skills, I love Mauro's productions and I like his style a bit better. And how can you say Mauro is for newbies? it's a matter of taste. It's like saying Tiesto is for trance newbies

Its 26 to 21 cause a lot of trance people havent even heard of DC, where as almost 99% of anyone here has heard of MP (since he was more associated with trance in the early days).
