After many years
spending half his life producing & A&Ring BXR Records at the Media
Records studio complex in Brescia,
Italy and half
DJing every weekend, Mauro Picotto decided in 2003 to dedicate his energies
almost totally to his DJ career. Since then he is one of those DJs who spends
his life on planes travelling the world playing at festivals and mega clubs.
Unlike many DJs, Mauro has concentrated on performing at his own Meganite
branded events and parties. At these events he can DJ for hours and choose his
supporting DJs to complement the sound of the night. There are Meganites in London, Miami, Turin, Glasgow, New York, Montreal and
every Wednesday at Priviledge in Ibiza. Mauro
describes these nights as “electronic music lifestyle” and frequently plays
much of his own music designed specifically for the mood & energy of these
nights. If anyone were to judge what they may hear at these nights by records
Mauro made in the late 90s they would be very far off the mark. Mauro’s sound
now is a fusion of funky minimal with the techy edge and melodic elements that
were always his trademark sound. Mauro is back in the studio with renewed
energy and 2007 sees the release of an album Mauro Picotto ‘Now & Then’, a
DVD Mauro Picotto ‘Live On Tour’ and singles taken from the album all on the
brand new imprint SWrecords (so called as he is spending time in Battersea in
South West London, also the home of Media Records UK). This is a fresh and
exciting new chapter in Mauro’s incredible career.
