Marco V and Mauro Picotto should be banned from Trance line-ups anyway - they've not played that for years and always ruin Trance nights now. Sander van Doorn just about fits in if he's on early.

Briggsy Posted January 5, 2009 Report Share Posted January 5, 2009 So..............? Can you ONLY like trance if you like trance are you not allowed to hear any other slight waver on the music! No, its not that - in fact, i've always been quite open minded with regards to music. The problem is though, these two always get the peak sets, and their style isn't suited to it any more - so they kill the dancefloor that the previous DJ built up. Ideally, they need to be on straight after the warm-up DJ, not at 3am when everyone wants it to start building up more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Kane Posted January 5, 2009 Report Share Posted January 5, 2009 John O'Bir?? Haven't seen him for a while but his talent was always warming up at Gods. Surely he'd go first on that lineup? O'bir used to play warm-up sets as part of his residency with Gods & I'm sure he can do a decent job if pushed to it, but his staple now is peak time sets. A proper warm-up DJ is someone who specialises in playing early & knows what they're doing. A lot of big name DJs playing early just play whatever prog Armin is spinning in the first 20mins of ASOT mixed in with some Anjuna Deep material & then play slow trance to assimilate that they're playing warm-up, or get carried away & ruin the entire night by hammering it out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Number2Fan Posted January 5, 2009 Report Share Posted January 5, 2009 Did Picotto ever play much trance trance? I think thier styles are suited to peak set times, I would hate to have the same stuff played ALL night, I stay all night too so I know. All night people would go home if the stuff was the same for like 8-10 hrs! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Kane Posted January 5, 2009 Report Share Posted January 5, 2009 I like SvD & rate him highly, he's unqiue & does play a lot of different stuff but I agree that he's better when he cranks the bpm up. Marco V used to be so much better than he is now, his old tech-trance sets in 2004 made him one of my favourites but now he's gone all glitchy & tech house orientated, not a bad thing to try but if you're still being booked on the fact that you made 'Indicator' & are given the slot usually reserved for harder DJs it gets a bit tedious Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a shame. Eteson isn't a warm-up DJ, Gavyn Mytchel isn't a warm-up DJ. All the DJ's that do warm-up slots as resies now are actually boshers but asked to do a job that isn't really there thing. Doing a warm-up set is probably one of the hardest sets to play I think. I couldn't play a warm-up set to save my life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Kane Posted January 5, 2009 Report Share Posted January 5, 2009 There are a few good ones about but they don't seem to get booked too often or are booked as headliners only for another DJ to play before them & hammer it out. Andrew Bennett & Niklas Harding both play the kinda tunage you want early on but seeing as they are getting bigger they never play early enough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Briggsy Posted January 5, 2009 Report Share Posted January 5, 2009 Andrew Bennett & Niklas Harding both play the kinda tunage you want early on but seeing as they are getting bigger they never play early enough Thats the thing that frustrates me the most about clubbing - once DJ's become bigger, they start having to play peak time. Personally, I think DJ's should play at a time that suits them - rather than a time that their top 100 ranking suggests they should play at. A club wouldn't put a bosher playing 142 Hard-Trance as a warm-up DJ, so why do they put a DJ playing warm-up style music at 3am. It baffles me. You always see people on forums saying "DJ X was s*** last night - he completely killed the dancefloor" - when in reality, he was probably playing his natural style, but the promotors just put them on at the wrong time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Kane Posted January 6, 2009 Report Share Posted January 6, 2009 I think Schulz is the exception to that rule, he can adapt his style to play peak time, it's still prog trance but he ramps it up & mixes things up a bit stylistically. He's a rare breed though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a rare breed though Yeah I think thats why I like Markus Schulz - even though he's not really my style. He's always a DJ I see, not really expecting to get into too much, but then the club saying he was the best DJ on the night. I wouldn't really class Schulz as an out-and-out Prog-Trance DJ really - his style seems to have a techy element to it too, such as the Genix remix of Fly To Colors and the Richard Durand stuff that Schulz plays. Schulz is quite clever actually - he can come on quite late, play after someone thats belted it out a bit, slow the tempo down by about 5bpm, but still sound quite pacey because he's picked tunes that have a lot going on and sound faster than they actually are - Durand stuff being the prime example. Durand's tunes always sound quite pacey, but they're actually around the 135bpm mark. I really rate Schulz. He's a clever bloke, and very down to earth too - he DJ's for the music, and nothing else. One of my mates knows him quite well and he always goes to chat with her after his set along with the rest of the group she goes with etc, and even sorts out guestlist for them too. Not many DJ's would do that these days - they're too up their own arse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uberduck Posted January 10, 2009 Report Share Posted January 10, 2009 (edited) Did Picotto ever play much trance trance? Picotto didn't play what you'd call 'proper' trance. He played a European style hard-dance/techno/trance infusion. He was always a peak time DJ. He supported his own tracks quite a lot (as you would) but also included lots of largely unknown producers to this country. Lots of Italian artists. I've taken this tracklisting from another forum and is from Trance Energy 2001 so when Mauro was at his best. Joy Kitikonti - Agrimonyzer Mauro Picotto - Baguette (Original Mix) Mario Piu - Mas Experience (Trance Plus Mix) Mauro Picotto - Like This Like That (Tea Mix) Mauro Picotto - Like This Like That (Magavoices Claxxix Mix) Saccoman - The Recall (Picotto Answer Mix) John Thomas - Undisputed Life (Technasia Mix 2) Megamind - Taub (Picotto Mix) Adam Beyer - Drumcode 2 (Marco Carola Mix) Sonus Terrarum - Sacrifice (Secundus Mix) L-X-Carbo - Dance Of The Crazy Pill (Blue Pill Mix) Thomas Krome - Shockabuku (VOL.1) (B-side) Mauro Picotto - Verdi Mario Piu aka. DJ Arabesque - The Vision (Vision 1 Mix) Mauro Picotto - Lounge/Pegasus Intro Mauro Picotto - Komodo/Save A Soul (Picottos Private Mix) Mauro Picotto - Pulsar (Picotto Mix) Joy Kitikonti - Energizer (Psico Mix) Joman - Raggatack (Attack Mix) Mauro Picotto - Freetown Mauro picotto - Like This Like That (3AM Mix) Mauro picotto - Proximus (Megavoices Claxxix Mix) Youtube Video ->Original Video Check that bad boy out! Can't beat hearing this thumping out of any decent system!! Classic Picotto!! Edit: Oh, the track is 'T. Raumschmiere - Monstertruckdriver' Edited January 10, 2009 by Uberduck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Kane Posted January 10, 2009 Report Share Posted January 10, 2009 'Verdi' was always a mint track, in his heyday he was an awesome producer. I may yet attend this event as if things go to plan I'll be in Sheffield on that date Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
