Today is a sad day for all of us and the Meganite family.
A dear friend is no longer with us.
Thank you Athos for the amazing memories.
You will be missed forever.

Oh dear

He was ultimately responsible for one of the greatest clubbing moments of my life (and a few UKTA's will say the same on this one). I'll see if I can find a clip of it and I'll upload it soon.

hehe yup, i remember it well ... but for me personally, my highlight was picotto dropping 'joy dont stop'. fuck that just blew me to pieces

I'm feeling that! To be fair, it's still one of my favourite sets of all time, it was just brilliant. Being there with a shit load of UKTA's just made it better!

I have what was recorded from Galaxy FM on my computer if you want it?......Including the "Joy Don't Stop" part .

Anyway.......

As promised, here's my tribute to Athos.....

14,980 people and about 20 UKTA's listening to Mauro Picotto's set at Gatecrasher @ the NEC, literally standing there wondering what the fuck was going on, followed by mentalness when the tune kicks back in.......good times!

R.I.P Athos, cheers for the memories.

This guy was really great, he realease only a few ep's, but all were ace! Since the times of Oh My God and Reset Controllers (proper techno grat ep btw). I remeber hearing On The Run for the first time on some Gabry Fasano Set, what a track.

Is really sad that he's gone forever =(
