jonattonyeah Just listened to it on my afternoon bike ride. That took me back. I used to listen to it on my mini disc player. Picotto is such an odd guy. He never really played in techno line ups, and he quickly turned his back on the style all together, which really makes me question how much he ever knew about the whole thing. I remember there being a story about him unplugging everything from the mixer before handing over to Carl Cox at some festival, which lead to things getting heated. No idea if it true. Mauro always had a very unique techno sound. Somewhere between detroit and schranz techno.

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.
Fergie is now cheesing it up and coining it in Vegas
Saw Fergie play to about 8 million people in a tent the size of Manchester at Godskitchen’s Global Gathering years ago.
It was absolutely fucking awful.
@jonattonyeah got a link to the Wink mix? I can only find the 01 and 09 ones.
Someone is in town!
These threads are seriously unreal. How the fuck are you finding the time to listen to all of these mixes? lol.
I didn’t know Mauro Picotto was 62.
Dale Winton looking much better these days
Is big Mauro 62?
He looks fantastic.
I’m like 80% COVID these days which makes for far more computer time than I’m used to. Adding exercise on there and I can get through a few in a day without much problem. It’s not always fun, mind.
Picotto was so big that his 6 hour sets at Gatecrasher were the hottest ticket in town
First Dj to play on Top of The Pops.
