Mauro Picotto...going up or down?
Mauro is one of my absolute favorite DJ's, and without any doubt my favorite producer, but I think his sets were a lot better a couple of years ago. Is it just me?
Discuss
As he hasn't released anything on CD for a while, I don't know what Mauro's newest stuff is like, but I prefer his techno to his tech-trance.
hes my absolute favorite too!!! love his remixes and songs and sets!
i havent heard any of him lately either though....
His old sets were he was playing tech-trance were brilliant but now that he is playing proper techno he has gone shit.To be honest he shouldnt be playing techno because he isnt technically good enough.He could hardly mix trance nevemind techno.
mauro has never been a hugely popular dj apart from that one year when he hit the dj poll top 10. but i think that was mainly because of the amount of production work he was doing.
as a dj mauro isn't technically brilliant but his tune selection is very good. At the moment he has started to add a lot more minimal elements into his dj sets and he is also doing a lot of work in the studio for an upcoming album
to answer the question i'd say he's exactly where he was when he first infultrated the scene, neither hugely popular nor hugely disliked. just someone that dj's and with the help of a man called ricky makes the best tunes ever
Picotto is genius, always at the top of my playlist. i think theres alot more to come from picotto
ye he has never been technically amazing or anything, but as someone said his tune selection is superb! i like his techno sets, although i cant say ive heard many..
i too havent heard him play for a while, but i am going to be seeing him feb 6th @ emporium, so i will see!
to be honest i think i prefered him 2001/2002 ish. as that was when he has playing the kinda stuff i like. the proper techno thing is alrite to listen to but aint my fav type of stuff. That said he aint got better or worse as others mentioned. he's just changed his style. but he's till top draw to be fair
Mauro single handedly lost his residency at my club by having the djing skills of an amatuer.

think he's much better now , but still not "amazing".. got some nice sets with nice track selection as chesco said, but his djing isn't exactly impressive.. same old boring transitions all the time.. nothing spectacular as beyer or the rest of the 'gang' 
much better productions too, i actually bought playing footsie/amazing, but i kinda regret as it wasnt as nice to play here as it sounded in the live@insideout set. anyways, i'll buy taotek when i find it, nice productions, but i've heard it's more a effe/ferri or something production rather than a picotto one..
Picotto is my fav too. On his live sets ive heard from the last year he has been more techno then ever before.
Definatly going up.
Maruo Picotto AND RICARDO FERRI - Alchemist EP
MAURO PICOTTO - Playing Footsie
MAURO PICOTTO AND RICARDO FERRI - Taotek EP
Enough said
Don't get me wrong - I'm not dissing Picotto (just a little bit), his sets are still pure mint - I was jumping around, screaming and just acting like a freaking monkey consistently for four hours when I first saw him in November back here in Sweden. I even get to shake his hand afterwards!!! I couldn't sleep for several days just out of the excitment due to that
But as somebody said, his 01/02 sets were ever better, I was expecting him to drop more Baguettish-type of tracks. (Of course he dropped that one also, which made me loose my fucking mind). Unforgetable.
But his productions though, they are just first class. Keeps getting better and better. Unfortunately he didn't play any of his never tracks that day when I saw him in Stockholm which dissapointed me a bit. But I guess you can't have it all

his older stuff was better but hes still my favourite
I'm not into Picotto's music that much. I totally love "the album" but I must say, I was a bit disappointed on his second album "the others" maybe it's just me 
Proximus will always be my fav Picotto tune

Now that Picotto�s �gone Techno� I must admit I�ve not liked him as much as I used to. I don�t find he�s got that much structure in his sets either, though in fairness I haven't heard that many of his most recent sets.
Ricky Effe All the way!
going down? nah... his mixing isn't "OMG", but I like it (or his style...?). Especially his flangering.
