Mauro Picotto in general

Now that I can use my computer I thought I’d share my views and feelings on the artist Mauro Picotto – one of the most promising DJs and producers to come from Italy so far. It may well be true that he hasn’t quite made as huge an impact in the UK, but already we’ve heard the masterpieces like Lizard, Komodo and the quite incredible Proximus! I’ve been downloading many songs from Napster, by Picotto, but this has only helped me to make decisions in actually buying the CDs from him, and various other artists that work with him. I don’t really now that much about Picotto himself, but all I can say is that the music he makes is some of ...  Read the complete review

His really well known and famous tunes have been attributed with the names of lizards. These stunning tracks are namely Lizard, Iguana and the amazing Komodo or Save a Soul, as it is also known. ...  Read the complete review

I don't know anything about Mauro Picotto but all I know is that I like his style. I used to be really into the whole dance/hardcore scene but as i've got older my tastes have changed. I was first introduced to Mauro Picotto when I bought the summer '99 album from the ministry of sound. He has a track on their called "Pulsar". It is a good song but only if you are into hard dance music. Around summer 2000 I heard another of his songs which is called "Iguana". That is better than "Pulsar" in my view. It is still hard dance but not all the time. The rhythm changes and it is very listenable. Just ...  Read the complete review
