Some techno-related questions

Hi

I've been away from "the scene" for a long while and now I have some catching up to do. Hopefully some of you can (and will) answer these questions:

1: What are the current names of the musical styles represented by artists Marco Carola, DJ Amok, DJ Rush, Devilfish, Picotto, John Starlight, Spirallianz, and John Selway & Christian Smith?
(Production styles, not mixing styles, I hasten to add).

2: Why did Picotto split with BXR and is he not on friendly terms with Piu, Bismark, and Cominotto anymore?

3: I've seen the track names "Dark Room" and "Random" mentioned in conjunction with Picotto. Is these genuine tracks or are they misnomers for some of the tracks on the Alchemyst EP?

1. they all produce techno funnily enuff.

christian smith, john selway, picotto, carola make techno. dj amok makes hard techno. dj rush produces a style all of his own, john startlight is kinda electro techno and i don't know who spirallianz is

2. picotto, ricky effe, and gabry fasano all split with bxr because they actually know how to produce good music. seriously tho', they split because bxr wanted to go in a different direction from these three. bxr now produces trance (shite trance at that), mauro and co. wanted to produce music with a bit more meaning for them, hence the start of meganite. Blame gianfranco bortolloti for it. bxr has become too commercial and that is why the quality has dropped.

3. the track you are looking for is transponder 2 - random. this is a collation between gabry fasano, mauro picotto and ricky effe. it was one of the last tracks they produced while at bxr and what a belter it was too.

Dark room does exist and it was by mauro picotto, however it was not called dark room. it was one of picottos private tunes that was never going to be released. he never named it, but in a discussion on another forum somebody put the name dark room down, and that has stuck with it. it was also my favourite tune of 2002.

thanx

i couldn't agree more. those stupid bass drums that sound like the ones you get on childrens toys, and bent vocals that talk about call boys all = shite.

altho chris liebings mix of get on up was gold.

and dj rush's pounding grooves 11 was also good. the rest are shit imo.

There is a change the so called "dark room" is going to be released. There are still 2 EP's going to be released by picotto. Tao Tek & Controller Set EP on Primate and Primevil. So lets hope its coming on one of them.

i'll get back to you on this one but i was told by the folks now at meganite that dark room would never get a release.

He is one of the artists that RARELY have a good track, like Umek!

They do a lot of bullshit, just for releasing it.

At least the major rush remix of biggest 10 inch i've ever seen was quite enjoyable.

having read a post on the meganite forum i can say dark room is not on these two ep's.

and according to the person i asked it most probably will never be released.

and it's actually reset controllers just to clear that one up.

Hmmz that sucks..
Well if he will release the second track he played after "dark room" at nature one im a happy man as well . God what a fucking great tune is that. Maybe even better dan "dark room" (the one with al the bleeping sounds in it)

and yes of course its reset controllers. I already wasnt sure if i was correct when i posted it

from what ive understood so far, by reading other ppls thoughts about their own knowledge when it comes to picotto things, it seems like there is way too much bullshit floating around on the meganite forum.
ppl saying this and that, i read it in a post posted by him and him, and when it comes to the end, its all wrong

Posted by chesco on Jul-07-2003 20:37:

well i asked somebody who actually works for meganite and deals with distributing promos and the like and thats what he told me. so it's true.
