I had a great time, I'm always in a good mood when I get to see
Deko-ze spin, and he had me moving early off in the night. Sven Vath was amazing, opened up really well and steadily got harder and dirtier from there.....99.9 was definitely the highlight of the night for me. Picotto was good, but as many have mentioned already he wasn't as good as Vath. I found that he started off good, but then dropped it down a notch, and by the time he brought it back up I was too tired to care.

It was great partying with you all;

Damn that's quite a list, it probably would have been easier to simply say "big ups to the crew on the stage in the back"

Ok time to go do some homework WOOT!

I've been craving a kickass killer techno party like this for a lonnnnnng time....but I've been reading the reviews and a lot of Ta's are disappointed with Picotto ...I don't blame you....but as far as techno goes....it's hard to spin constant sweet ass shit for 4 hours....if there were only more demand for the music...I find it hard to shop for vinyl
but if Picotto got 2 hours like Vath....he probably would've played just as good if not better....but either way

I had an amazing time....Picotto did lag a bit here and there but picked it right back up again in minutes....and there were a few tracks that did sound very similar but oh well....it was great
no real complaints really ... which is different
everything just ran smooooooooooothly
which is nice for a change
great seeing everyone again....love partying with you guys
K.E.

Vath spun his full three hours...and I've seen him spin 7, and he does it flawlessly. Same with Miss B - I've heard her do 8 hrs, and it's effortless. Someone of Picotto's reputation (and pay scale! sheesh, I can only imagine) should be able to do the same, techno or not. Not that he was spinning techno from what I heard, but that's an entirely different discussion.

We may find it difficult to find 4+ hours of quality techno vinyl, but Picotto gets it delivered to his front door months before it hits the stores.

Edit: jon, you're going to die laughing when you see some of the pictures Nat took of me. F'en RETARDED I was!

that's true , plus he produces...so what's with this guy
I dunno ...doesn't matter I had a great time.....I'm not going to bitch about a dj I like or who is better
but if anything what we could agree apon is that Picotto was up and down for majority of his set....never quite stayed up
but maybe we should call him up at his house and tell him he's an asshole ...better yet...you drag him out of his house skip...and I'll shoot hockey pucks at him

A general consensus last night was that yes Mauro's production is brilliant (if you like that sort of thing), but that his dj skills are seriously lacking.

I'm in total agreeance with everything Sarah has said. (believe it or not) I'm not gonna feel bad for him, fuck that. He still delivered, but I refuse to give Mauro the credit that say PVD or even *gasp* Armin deserves.

thats what happened last week when i went to the Guv. my buddy was searched hardcore and his friend too well my buddy kinda looked like a scruf that night so i could understand it but his friend was dressed fairly nice and that totally surprised me. i didn't get searched hardcore at all, in fact in my left hand i had my cig's and my wallet and they didn't even search the pack

I think i was on the same page as everybody else, because i had no idea what oakey was gonna do. He played real hard, which i think, the crowd wanted. He took a cue from the end of Liquid Todd's set, which i have to say, was very good.

Oakey played the one song i never heard in a club, and always wanted to:
amoebaassassin - piledriver
Now i can die a happy man, i was singing along the entire time!

It was very crowded, but that was to be expected for $15 for oakey. But it was all worth it. THe coat check line was crazy at the end of the night, took so long to get my dam jacket!

I bought a nother oakey shirt, the long sleeves one this time.
Does anybody know what the forgein writing on the shirts mean? I think its the same writing thats on the cover of his Great Wall cd.

Im glad people had a good time, cause i know i did! see you next time!

It's funny how some people are wizards in the studio but not as much behind the decks, or vice versa. Like Carl Cox - his production is lacklustre compared to his brilliant DJ performances. But then there are people that are equally amazing at both - Tiesto, for example.

Perhaps why I didn't enjoy Mauro was because he banged it out too hard at the beginning, and lost me. There was no build. The tracks didn't seem to have much substance to them....especially after listening to Sven, whose taste in music (to me) is much more eccentric.

That's ok though...I went for Sven, and I had him.

Were you able to work up the courage to propose to him?

That was an awesome night. First time I've ever gotten to see such a huge group out for a techno event. Sven's electro beats seriously ripped me a new one.

Picotto was good - if nothing else, he really had the crowd going. It was probably his best set I've seen in Toronto, although I suppose it still didn't compare to the sets from Liebing, Beyer, etc. But keep in mind, fellow techno addicts, that the crowd Picotto was playing out to would not have been interested in those kinds of beats. The crowd wanted him to bang it out hard, and he did that, even if his set didn't have much funk to it.

I was not at all disappointed - 9/10 for Väth and 7/10 for Picotto.

No shoutouts - there are just too many to mention - you all know who you are though. Thanks for making the night complete!


P.S. Sarah, edit the thread title you goof! It's your thread!
