MAURO PICOTTO

NOW AND THEN

SW RECORDS

CD

(SEPTEMBER 2007)

After many years spending half his life producing and doing A&R for BXR Records at the Media Records studio complex in Brescia, Italy, and half DJing every weekend, Mauro Picotto decided in 2003 to dedicate his energy towards 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 which 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 and  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 Picotto’s sound now is a fusion of funky minimal house, with the techy edge and melodic elements that were always involved with his trademark sound.

Mauro is back in the studio with renewed energy and 2007 sees the release of his new album 'Now & Then’, on the brand new imprint SW Records (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, and this is an excellent album marking a brilliant shift in musical direction.
