Picotto, no contest.

That is unless you were actually looking for someone to put you to bed out of shear boredom - then by all means, Bolier or bust.

picotto is one of the best edm producers ever. He's a decent dj.. If you haven't seen picotto go see him.

as far as i know he hasnt made much of it himself, riccardo ferri is the genious of those production. also btw some of the best liveacts nowadays. tho picotto spins some maniac tunes sometimes so I would def go there

Bolier is actually quite a decent DJ, he doesn't just whore out his own tracks for 2-3 hours. Picotto is spinning all minimal/tech house now, so if you're expecting him to play his older stuff or that style, you're in for a surprise.

if it was many years ago i would say picotto. i would go with Bolier

...is true, you won't like his sets. Boring, bog-standard prog and trance where every mix is exactly the same (64 beats of "Un-tiss" and then a bassline swap - WHOOPEE!)

On the other hand...

Expect minimal and tech house early, and banging techno towards the end.

Honestly, people who think Picotto has moved solely into the realm of quote en quote "minimal" haven't been paying much attention.

In the end, it's up to your tastes, but understand at the very least that if you don't like Leon's productions, you probably won't like his sets.

eh.. he didn't play like that the last time i saw him

the first half, fair enough.. minimal & tech house, quite enjoyable (considering i don't normally go for that sound). but the second half didn't get more 'banging' at all.. just more random, less danceable & well, insanely boring. after 90 mins i was begging for it to end (it was a 2 hour set)

i'm not going to defend bolier though. while i ing loved some of the earlier precursor stuff (pulsar, solar 1, systematic <3 ), his recent style does my in. too many pointless stupid buildups, crass noisy synths & little-to-no groove (or drive)


so if i had to choose between the two i'd go for picotto, but only on the condition he played fairly early & for no more than 90 mins.. otherwise i can't say i'd bother

If Picotto is playing a 'Past, present and future' set, definately don't bother with that e.
