Mauro Picotto is gonna get ya with this selection of music
ONE of Italy’s finest techno exports, Mauro Picotto, is responsible for some of electronic music’s enduring anthems, not least his 1998 Reptile Trilogy which took his career to new heights.
He has also achieved great success in Ibiza with his Meganite party over the years which has recruited some of the world’s most respected DJs including Adam Beyer, Marco Carola and Chris Liebing.
Mauro’s new album From The 80s Til Now is a look at his career as a global hitmaker and encompasses the wide range of his production styles.
Also included is a seven-track Meganite DJ mix, compromising brand new and exclusive music that showcases the deep, thunderous and hypnotic underground techno that made his longtime residency in Ibiza such a success.
We caught up with Mauro this week and he put together a playlist of music that’s doing the business on his dance floors right now.
Red Axes – Oh My Arp
It is a masterpiece of what I call cosmic music, an example of a journey into a galaxy of musical fantasies.
Mauro Picotto – Ayala
This is one of my best tunes, personally I believe it hasn’t gotten the attention it deserves, but after many years it still has the magic and emotional feel of the day I finished it in the studio. It was also amazing to hear this song played by the master Laurent Garnier himself at Sonar!!
Lea & Blanche – Temudo
Energetic, hypnotic with big vibe – that’s what a proper rollercoaster of a techno track sounds like to me.
Joseph Ashworth ladder
Great electronic disco. A tune that can make you feel like you’re floating in another musical dimension.
Mauro Picotto & Riccardo Ferri – Pure Tao
A solid tribal techno with the perfect feel for a free spirit lover of the White Isle like me.
Frank Biazzi – Rolling
It sounds very fresh, but all the core ingredients come from someone who lived the techno glory from the 90s. A big boost of energy.
Radio Slave – Wild Life
A quality example of where house and disco music can meet – a classic instrument perfectly blended with today’s advanced sound.
Adana Gemini – Origo
In 2020 during Covid time this was a track I played on my last and only DJ set online. A track with a dirty bass line and a beautiful vibe.
Black Devil – Timing, forget the timing
To me this is a timeless track, and one of the coolest tracks I heard as a youngster. Just let it flow….
Yellow Magic Orchestra – PC Game
It was and still is a gem. One of my favorite tracks of all time that introduced me to the magical world of electronic music.
