Who Actually Did Enjoy Picotto?

Who Actually Did Enjoy Picotto?

just out of curiousity, as there are lots of arguments on this board about picotto and who enjoyed his set.

So, to wrap things up and conclude on whether he was liked or not i thought id post this poll. Cos there is obviously a borderline somewhere between groups of people in Promise for Trance and Techno.

Maybe this poll could start an "intelligent" argument of whether the techno sound of picotto is maybe the way forward or something different. I mean can trance carry on, or is it gonna die soon, cos to be honest, i like me trance, but how much more can it go on, i think the producers are running out of ideas cos there doesnt seem to be many massive releases lately, seems to be dwindling.

Discussions here please....

(this may help you out Mark when considering the music styles for Promise - just a thought... or at least it provides you with some research and input)

yeah i know that mark, wasnt on about the booking side of things...it was just there are posts dotted all over to whether they enjoyed him or not....just sort of showing the difference sides of trance and techno.

its just a discussion of where the music styles of clubbing are moving to.

Are people wanting something different already - ie picotto and techno, or do we all still love our trance and it will never die?

its a discussion everyone in the music business is on about at the moment, and what the movement in the next sound will be.

Just thought it would be nice to hear some arguments from the promise faithful and what their views are, thats all.
Apologies mark if you took it the wrong way, never meant it like that - i lvoe picotto, and cant wait for the return!!!!! GET IN!

I aint going to lie, as regardless of my own personal thoughts the amount of people through the door proved what a success Picotto was, last time mauro played promise was one of my top 3 nights at promise, this time he did little for me...

I thought matt was amazing and the night in general was wikkid... I've never seen Promise so busy was like walking into a new a club - its about time promise got that level of recognition Well done...

Mauro just didn't do it for me, preffered matt, keri and corvin

I was enjoying his set, then it all just seemed to go wrong. Waited out a lot of it for Matt, found some of it quite tedious. I appreciate he really tried to work the crowd.

so, from your two views, the techno sound hasnt really made an impact on you??

I just didn't rate that set too much, nothing to do with techno - i love richie hawtin... one of my bestest ever tunes is magicdog - mirror mirror... But on friday I couldn't get into his set.. didn't help that I had super dooper paranoia and spent most the night scowling at everyone

I will be there no doubt in november as last year mauro played one of my bestest ever sets...

What he said. I like techno, just think I was not in tune with what Picotto was doing on Friday.

see now this is better opinions and views...instead of many posts spread all over the board wasting space.

so it was just his set you couldnt get into, fair enough, i cant wait to see him again in november... and this time im saving myself, and cooling down beforehand!!

he really does heat the place up.......

I enjoyed what I heard of his set, but I was too busy flouncing around talking to people for most of it to really have a considered opinion! Corvin did it for me on the night though. Hardwick was good, a bit light for me ideally but I still flailed about like a complete arse!

Agree with joe. I love techno and I love picotto but that weren't the best set I've heard him play. He wasn't shite and I think the people saying he's shite probably don't like that sound anyways.

lol @ helen,

yeah, dalek really impressed me!!!!!!!!!!! nah in fact he REALLY impressed me!!

and as for you flailing about like an arse..... nothing new there eh helen!!! lol just kiddin

here here!

i thought Corvin was amazing he warmed the place up very nicely!, he played some wicked tunes!

just couldn't peel myself off the dance floor!

this is exactly the discussion i wanted.....

you made a point there, is it people who dont like picotto saying his set was shite because they dont like the sound, or did he actually play shite!!

Steve spoke to picotto the next day with a private drink with him, dalek, steves boss etc and Picotto admitted he had a nightmare!!!!!!!

wasnt impressed by picotto but techno aint really my thing, couple of my mates that r into techno loved it, each to their own really.
but it was good to see the club full bein as it needs to make money
n it aint like we havent got spot on trance djs on every week aswell.

i didnt enjoy picotto, but i hardly ever do!!but he did play coatnoise, and in its brilliance i almost forgot how bored i'd been!!

but plenty of poeple love him(???)and its always busy so i guess he does something right!!

but corvin dlaek and matt hardwick are my 2 favs so he was never gonna haver it easy really was he

I think I either flail about or stand still, can't seem to just have a gentle little boogie!

well why boogie if your not gonna put 200% into it eh!!!

not going to lie either and say i liked picotto there were good parts to his set and boring parts but every1 came for picotto so the club was rammed how it should be!!! so it made my nite!!

but highlight of the nite for me was deffo! Mr "Superstar rezzie" Hardwick his set was awesome just what we needed after 3hrs of techno!! it was so good to see the dancefloor still rammed for him at 6!!!! totally AWESOME NITE well doen to marki and all promise peeps it has come on a lot!!!

best part of picottos set was undoubtly Camera tune tho!!! excellnt!!!

Not to spoil the way the threads going but i fookin loved Picotto's set, he did make a couple of mistakes, but what the heck, he had me on the dancefloor for the best part of his set, i do like his style of Techno and i'm glad to hear he is booked again.
I didnt think he was as hard as he was the last time, but i really enjoyed his set.

yeah he was definitely harder last time, it was more sort of progressive this time.

But i still loved his set, but thats me being a techno freak!! hehe
