Amps that was exactly my thought. and after my 007 experience this week, i’m not going back to listen to it.

    Amps He played in those lineups, but I wouldn’t call him hard house. He’s done techno trance and cringe euro house stuff to the best of my knowledge. The only time I ever saw him he played a lot of trance, and not his tech-trance style either. Like big room Tiesto shit. It was extremely disappointing and I have no idea why he did it. His Mega Nite party was huge in Ibiza at the time, and that was very much a techno night.

        I did think it was interesting that Tong opened up by calling him “The Michael Jackson of Dance Music”. VERY sus.

          zackster Yeah, I like a dj like Garnier who can basically play anything and make it make sense, like you would know where he was coming from, but Picotto just didn’t seem to have a place some how. As mentioned I saw him play several hours of what was basically hard techno with no break downs of any sort, like monotonous hypnotic techno, but, I dunno, it was just odd. Think everyone in the place was expecting the Lizard and Komodo etc. They didn’t get it.

            Will never forget the first time I heard the Lizard played out. It was fucking mindblowing.

              zackster Does he have proper credibility with the hardcore techno fraternity?

                  Amps not that I am aware of. Can’t think of anyone that played his tunes, other then him. There were rumors of him being a massive racist.

                      alistair yeah, regardless of what people think of him, the dude made some hits. He played Back to Cali when I saw him, and the place went bananas.

                        zackster massive racist.

                        Fuckin lollers, that’ll really dent the global career.

                            Amps who knowns if it’s true, but I have to admit it feels right.

                            Also, his scene is coming back to me now. He played with people like Marco V, Joy Kitikonti, Fergie, ex… very weird mix that did kinda skirt techno trance and hard house come to think of it.

                                zackster Fergie,

                                Say no more, De Vit hard house fan boy, who cottoned on to techno, dragged a scene with him and then… just disappeared. Dunno anything about him, but he seemed to be a fair decent DJ and radio presenter, no idea why he isn’t still DJing techno to people.

                                    Amps talented dj was Fergie. Technically good

                                      Fergie is now cheesing it up and coining it in Vegas
