Mauro Picotto

Back To Cali is the first single off of Mauro Picotto's new album, The Others. As a producer, Picotto is setting the pace for a harder darker European tech-trance sound. He's trying to find the balance between very specialist underground techno and more commercial crossover trance.

This new single is a prime example of the Picotto sound that he is perfecting - hard, tough and unforgiving with melodic bits and pieces breaking through here and there.

The Megamind Mix is Picotto at his finest, walking the line between hard trance and techno, while the Funk Mix adds a funky guitar riff and house rhythm. The Original Claxixx Mix is a trance affair with bubbling synths, prominent melodies and an overall euphoric feeling. The Megavoices Tea Mix gets a little sinister with the help of lots of filters and effects, while The Picotto Mix adds some energy with pulsing synths. The Push Remix lays down a smooth trance / hard house groove. Each remix is top quality. Whether your style is melodic trance, hard trance, hard house or techno, there is a mix here that is right for you.

If you put the musical styles of Paul Oakenfold and Sasha in a blender, the resulting mixture would be Mauro Picotto. The Album is a mix of uplifting dance tracks, house music and melodic trance with a splash of techno thrown in for some additional flavor. For anyone who loves either house or trance, Mauro Picotto does an excellent job of blending both genres together in this new album.

The Album includes all three parts of the lizard trilogy, previously only available as import singles - Lizard, Iguana and Komodo, along with his most recent import single - Proximus. Komodo is the first US release off of the album, and has gotten a good initial reaction from radio, being added to mixshows across the country and even getting rotation consideration on several key dance stations.
