At the minute i would have to say Awesome!! I do love all his classics like Lizard, Iguana, Ultimahora Ibiza, Verdi (list goes on & on...) But i reckon his techno tunes are the best stuff he has produced... personally. Like: Bangkok Awesome Pulsar (Picotto Verdi Mix is a special one) Like A Cat Kebeb All unreal tunes!!!
if it wernt for his earlier stuff though i doubt he would be as big a dj as he is now...wish he would just play his fcukin old stuff sometimes....his more techno soundin stuff is good but does get borin after a while...very borin...Zzzzz
Too right! iguana is his best tune, you just cant help but smile when you hear it. i like the stuff he played last night, but its given me a headache now!
dont get me wrong i had a wicked night, i just wanted to hear at least one of his old tunes!!! i think it would of lifted the place just that lil bit more!!
thats the thing with Picotto, he never really does, nevermind! But playing something like Lizard or Iguana is best left to DJ's who arent as pounding anyway.
Too many too choose from. One noone mentioned tho TAUB?- the one with the twilight zone sample in. Its fuckin evil! Makes ya screw ya face up to it when ya dancin
i asked 4 verdi 2 be put on and he was like yeah i will put it . but me mate asked 4 komodo or lizard on and he was like piss off lol
Well I gave him my vinyl for him to sign - "Bug" by the man himself (you heard it - it's mental!!) and it would've been the ultimate honour if he'd dropped it in!! A signature was enough for me though - what a canny lad he is!! I think Bug's one of his best offerings cos it's a lot different, the way it goes Wah Wah n if you're mixin it u realise that its slightly difficult at first to get your head round it cos the bass drums have been pushed half a beat ahead of the first "Wah". So the bass drum occurs straight after the first wah then the second wah occurs directly after the bass drum... oh hell I've confused meself!!! It's good anyway. Taub is also one mentally mint tune I have to agree. One Eyed
Yeah but you gotta think on his side of things - would the majority of people've thought of him as being a bit tacky for dropping in one of his own tunes?? I would've loved it too but there's a lot of people criticising his set already! I think he played a blinder (maybe I'm just easily pleased) n I'm still slightly buzzing about it now (probably cos Ive not been out since the 2nd birthday AAAGGGHHHH!!!!! That's what a woman does to you. And no funds- gotta buy a better mixer, gotta buy a better mixer...) and ended up somehow in York the next day !! Maybe if he'd dropped in a classic of his own people would've appreciated his set more, but on the other hand they could've considered him as a bit cheesey n tacked on for doin it and thusly written him off completely. By the way, on the moon with the moon mice Lil Gem - aren't they called Clangers?
the two above posts, very well said! It is a point of view i also share! Being a huge, massive fan of Picotto as a DJ and producer, so I appreciate his sets no matter what he would play coz i like it all. As for playing something like lizard or komodo, it wouldnt go with his sets, they are far too heavy for the reptile bunch! If a wanna listen to a bit of lizard, which quite often i do, i go and listen to them at home! LOL! There are two sides to this man and his music. I love them both!
