Superclub

Mauro Picotto

Following yet another packed Meganite residency at Privilege in Ibiza, Spain this summer, and a subsequent Meganite compilation, Italian DJ Mauro Picotto is now set to unleash his highly anticipated third artist album, Superclub.

Set over two CDs, entitled ‘Giganite’ and ‘Megalounge’ respectively, it is a showcase of everything from blistering tech house to horizontal Balearic chill. ‘Giganite’ features an unequalled selection of peak time club tracks, including the eighties-flavored Fergie collaboration "Funkytek", which samples the classic "Funky Time" to devastating effect. Also present are Mauro’s driving instrumental homage to Ibizan institution 'Kuhmaras', the speaker-freaking riffs of ‘Winter Games’ and the dark driving tech of ‘Meganite.’

In contrast, ‘Megalounge’ pours itself a long Sangria and unwinds over a ten track offering of downtempo, blissed out beats. Standouts include the fantastic cover of the Godley & Creme’s "Cry", the dreamy dusk melodies of "Ibiza Sunset", and the live drums and harps of "Sanderson", a track conceived after a stay at the top London hotel.
