relatively speaking i'm new to the entire electronica/clubbing/partying scene, i started when i was 18, and im almost 22 now... so it hasnt been that long... like many many other people i started out going to little raves listening to people such as dj-xdream, pleasurehead, gonzo, dever, micro and so on... quickly my tastes evolved into more commercial named dj's like tiesto oakenfold van dyk and so on.... as i started going to more parties i moved onto the house kick with people like danny tenaglia, howells, deep dish and so on... lately ive discovered minimal techno, and it's such a sick unbelievable style, i'm (almost) bored by everything else... oakenfold doesnt impress me anymore (except for nixon's spirit, which quotes hunter s. thompson) i passed up seeing van dyk twice and didnt care the only people i'd actually go see lately is anyone playing at centro fly and arc, but even then i leave feeling the slightest bit dissatisfied. ive loved picotto for the longest time and really am anxious to see him perform, others i'd kill to see are jeff mills, liebing, oliver lieb, dj rush, dj hell, thomas shumahker(sp?), i even saw hawtin play a killer set that i believe was better than the host, carl cox's, set at the southstreet seaport in the 3rd floor mall... so yea he really killed it... i believe picotto's style is that of an evolved minimal technoist a la hard house via subtle trance melodies... and it works... whatever you call it, his sets are composed of pure energy... i dont think i'd want to stop moving at all... which is why they should fix the damn ventilation system in arc, for my sake and everyone elses... thanks for reading
