jonattonyeah as previously discussed, was a big fan for a while, and that is an absolute tune.

also, love that Nina looks like the hooker from Mulholland Drive here.

    Mad_Cyril another of my faves. Nina, Aphex Twin, and Mauro Picotto on my Mt Rushmore of dj/producer greats. Just need one more.

        zackster Once saw Picotto play a 4 hour set which contained no breakdowns of any sort, the whole set had a constant kick drum throughout the whole thing, tre bizarre.

            Amps lol. All joking aside, 00-04 he was playing fire techno. Saw him several times at Avalon/Limelight and he dropped the hammer every single time.

                Amps Was this in Cream? Think I was there

                They went through a weird phase of booking people like Picotto when the crowds were thinning out early 2000s

                    zackster I saw him in Miami in 2003 and had to leave. It was ear bleeding techno.

                        bosstrabs Yeah, I reckon maybe 2004? Probably his only appearance around that time, he was never a regular.

                          The Gatecrasher crowd used to love his long sets.

                          bosstrabs I assume it was a bit more prog in the other rooms? He was on in the Courtyard.

                              zackster I remember it being pretty dull. Not how I like my techno. He sort of played techno like you would play prog. I’ll take Mills / May / Hood / Clark / Garnier etc. over his style.

                                  LT42 except basically no one is dying from it any more. They talk about cases but conveniently don’t mention the limited to zero deaths or people in intensive care.

                                  It seems some people are for whatever reason desperate to over-exaggerate the situation and for lockdown to remain as severe as possible.

                                      Amps I remember it being pretty dull. Not how I like my techno.

                                      You could possibly argue he was like a cheesy Carola, as Ive seen him play in a similar way on occasion.

                                          Amps in reality Mauro has no style. He has gone from trance to techno to tech house throughout his career. Richardo Ferarri made all his tunes, and he doesn’t seem to be able to get gigs outside of Ireland and Italy. He’s kinda like the Italian Seb Fontaine. They certainly seems to play the same kinda gigs these days.
