Whats everone elses view of mixmaster genius Mauro Picotto. Personally I love the guy, but it seems here in Britain he is getting a lot of stick off of people who used to follow him trance wise and those fans of techno who don't want him playing "their" music.
It seems to be a brittish thing to try and always pull people down that have made it to the top and personally it sickens me. All these so called music fans waiting to pounce the moment he plays a bad set.
I read a post in the promise forum (a nitclub in newcastle) and some guy says that everytime he has been to see him this year (6 or so) he has been e. So why go and keep on seeing him. If fannys like this stayed away from picotto events it would suit me fine, cos i'm sure there are many others who would make a much better nite of it, instead of pointing out all the little errors the great man makes ("GOD DID U SEE THE WAY HE'S LIFTING HIS RECORD BOX, IT'S ALL WRONG").
By the way I say a british thing, it doesn't happen so much with picotto followers in scotland (just visit i/o when he's on). It seems that a lot of english people have turned against him tho'. |

For me Mauro is the best DJ on earth.
His style is my style :)
Also,I heard lots of livesets from the lizardman dating from '00 till now.And..never heard any big mistake.
His mixingskills are exellent,I know this cuz I DJ myself and play lots of tracks Mauro play's and some of them are a pain in the ass to beatmatch :)
Also,the UK is getting one of the worst dance-scenes there is cuz trance DJs MUST play trance,and techno DJs CAN ONLY play techno,if a DJ sometimes plays an other style most ppl there think the DJ sucks..
BTW...Picotto = god :) |

Hm ... in the very past (before I registered here) I was one of those idiots that knew only the commercial tracks from him and thought he'd spin trance...
As I saw him on the decks it was a pure techno set, but that didn't piss me off ... that was rather the beginning of my interest in him because I wanted to know the way he really is and not the way his commercial tracks are.
Well ... Picotto used to be one of my favourite DJs and he still is, but I think his earlier stuff was a bit better than it is now. Comparing his "newer" livesets (f.e. Mysteryland) to the "older" ones (Dance Department(2000)), I think the older ones are a bit more "spicy" (I mean there's not so much noise in it, there's more beat). Till now I haven't heard a real bad liveset from him (okay, i don't know so many, but it's true) ... even his Gatecrasher set, of which many ppl said that it's bad, is pretty okay.
So ... for me Mauro Picotto is still a great DJ although he was a bit better in the past, but we'll see how he will develop :) |

I think Picotto is awesome! He is great both as a producer and a dj
and he`s whitout a doubt one of the best in the techno scene. I hope to see him preform live in the future. |

Yip your right. it's definately a british thing this. not only happening to mauro, but judge jules has had a lot of critics of late cos he's playing some techno stuff.
It doesn't look good for the future of british clubbing. |

| All I know is that this man ripped off armin van buuren and umek so for that he has lost all my respect, not that he cares anyway :rolleyes: |

He is a great producer, imo. Some of his sets are great to, but it is the music he makes that i really enjoy. All respect to this man ;)

I agree with P'zazz
hes a rip off merrchant, hes a e dj, plays fake techno, very poorly.
His productions are wank and cheap, he rips off people and is generally a 'end' ;) |

intelligent reply ;)
before anyone mentions this, I am not against techno, as Umek & Adam Beyer are amongst my fav DJs.
What I am against is DJs playing techno is a 'trance' way and mixing it very badly, eg, Picotto :) |

For a start like this like that was miles better than avb's poor attempt at a tune no matter if it's a rip off or not.
And have you ever met the guy to say he's a end. don't think you have mate. Typical brittish attitude. What p'zazz says hold truth and I value his opinion but you calling the guy a end is out of order. I know a lot of people who have met him and have nothing but good things to say about him.
If he plays fake techno why are his sets so similar to sven vath, a world renound techno dj. hmmmmmm. you know what your talking about.
It looks to me like your just bitter about one mistake he made (avb rip-off). |
