Review Mauro Picotto at the Govurnment

First time at the government and I was impressed with the set up. Mauro picotto was awesome, really into it and spun for over three hours then went vs Mark Oliver for another hour. The crowd was kinda sketchy i guess everyone was at Republic eh. well i'm interested to hear what everyone else thought. anyone have the tracklist from Mauro Picotto's set?

It was a good night.

MUCH MUCH MUCH better then last time he was here. even tough i only stayed for a few tunes.

Mark Oliver warm up ZzzzzzzzzzzzZzzzzZZzzzzzzzzzZ. but he did play Smith and Selway - Let your Body Rock

First thing i notice was MARCO CAROLA, and (i think) GAETANO PARISIO. but no one has a fucking clue who Marco is. Then he gets on the decks (the night was getting better), and these fucking wallys are screaming "Mauro, Mauro, Mauro". pissed me off

I never really appreciated Marco until i started djing, and now i realize how brilliant he is as a dj. the third last tune was amazing!

I had only seen Maruo for the first half hour. he skipped a tune, started off decent, but i could already see that marco was the techno mastermind of the night. Mauro played his new tune Picotto and Fergie - Funkytime. The disco remix of funkytown.

The guv crowd sucked donkey dick as usual. 90 % there for the drugs and not the music. but what the hell they'll learn.

Shout out to AZ! good to run into you dude. Maybe Thursday for CC!

Vince

Damnit I missed Picotto
Anyone know when he'll be back in town?

I went kind of at the last minute with some friends.I'm not a Picotto fan but I really liked Marco Corola's set...The Guv wasn't too rammed & so I managed to move around & ran into John Tang & hung out for a bit (as per our discussion John...let me know a good jungle nite @ System )....so yeah...the nite was ok

But your observation is only valid for Marco's set, cuz u only stayed for 5 tracks of Mauro. < Still can't believe....

Waits for a true techno fan's review for a real analysis of Picotto's set.

he fucking destoryed it last night

the funniest part of the night that ill never forget
i was standing where his dj booth was and mauro comes outta the booth to relax and sit down for a minute while corolla was spinning for him
he sits ddown on those little couches and start smoking and talking to some guy
i was standing right behind him, then i see some black bouncer running up to him from the side
hes like EY DROP THE CIGGARETE, YOU CANT SMOKE HERE!! mauro got so confused tossed the cigarette right away, it was so fucking funny
bouncer didnt even know he was a dj LOL

well I don't feel that bad about missing this one...
sounds like the crowd was retarded and not very many TA's there.

Solid night...
Mauro was great!!..not the best ever but still fucking great. Marco Carola was even better . The only downside on the night was mauro turning down the tempo after he had built the bpm to a feverish pitch. I t woulda been fine if he hadn't wasted so much time on the lowkey. Lost the crowd completely.

otherwise it was good to see mauro show glimpses of his brilliance.
As for the comment on last nights guv crowd...it wasn't as bad as people are making it out to be. Sure it was busy but thats come to be expected. There was also a lower percentage of these people there "JUST" for the drugs simply because this is a major headliner that people recognize and love. 90 % is an exaggerated number even for guv on a regular night.

Take Vince's observation w/a grain of salt- Vince ONLY goes out to a club when Mauro comes to town, and maybe- MAYBE- 1-2 times more per year.

So its unanimous: Marco Carola owned.
Glad to hear Mauro redeemed himself from the last time. But why turn down the tempo? He did the same thing after Parisio last time. Vince ended up leaving 5 songs into Mauro's set based on this, which I cant understand at all, seeing that the reason he went to the Guv in the 1st place was for Mauro, and he didn't even give him the chance. Vince- what's wrong with you? Looks like u missed a good set.


Posted by samhouse on Mar-20-2005 22:27:

yeah it was a little confusing...
i personally didnt mind the downtempo stuff too much but it was overdone.

and yes MARCO CAROLA OWNED!!!
the tag team at the end was the highlight of night...shivers going up my spine with some of those bombs that were dropping.

hopefully next time mauro brings ricardo ferri with him


Posted by tatgirl on Mar-20-2005 23:10:

^^^^

Well, Vince, looks like u shoulda stayed.


Posted by Stingray on Mar-20-2005 23:18:

Very dissapointed that i had to miss Mauro....I'm a big fan of his and have seen him 3 times before, but a close friend's bday is much more important. I agree the last time he was at Guv was less than impressive...but the 2 times before he kicked ass!

Cant wait for the big one on Thursday! Gonna be dirty


Posted by Tully on Mar-21-2005 00:12:

I must say I had a great time...AGAIN!!! Carola and Mauro were amazing. Not a lot of TA's out that I saw, but it was still and awesome party. See Ya Thursday!!!


Posted by Skipper on Mar-21-2005 00:51:

shit, I didn't know Marco was playing....and was Gaetano w/him?!


Posted by samhouse on Mar-21-2005 02:50:

i dont think gaetano was there...people say they saw him but he didnt step into the booth.
