“Massive tune… one of those real ’stand out’ tracks in any DJs sets! Incredible energy here thanks to that insane rising synth and funky percussion, this really needs to be heard! Claude von Stroke is ALL OVER THIS, you should be too! Awesome!” - Trackitdown.net
Big In Ibiza have just signed the monstrous underground anthem ‘Church Of Nonsense‘ by Daniele Papini from Mauro Picotto’s respected Alchemy label where it smashed into Beatport’s Top 5 Chart with its “Devastating motor engine noise that f**ks people up!”.
The whole project has received incredible feedback from all the biggest names in dance music including…
John Digweed, Dubfire (Deepdish), Layo Paskin (Layo & Bushwacka), DJ Hell, Claude Von Stroke, Sasha, Slam, Paul Woolford, Mistress Barbara, King Unique, Pete Heller, Tom Stephan, Smokin Jo, Fergie, Noir, Mark Knight (Toolroom), Dave Dresden, John O’Callaghan, Flash Brothers, D.Ramirez and many more. As well as getting picked up by leading trance DJs including Sander Van Doorn, Agnelli & Nelson, Anne Savage, Cosmic Gate, Marcel Woods, Andy Pulser, Marco V, Scott Project, Mark Kavanagh and more.
Now the killer new bootleg which fuses “Church Of Nonsense” with Mauro Picotto’s classic “Gonna Get Ya” gets its full release complete with unique and inspirational music video. The additional vocal hook adds even more energy to this memorable record and should make it one of the tracks of the year!
Daniele Papini
Italy unleashes another monster on to the dancefloor! Born in Florence but currently resident of Berlin, Daniele Papini has made quite an entrance with this all consuming piece of audio weaponry and has quickly established himself as part of the new wave of producers and DJs that are rocking dance floors worldwide. Daniele also appears alongside Alen Sforzina as part of their GraFiT project.
Mauro Picotto
The Lizard Man Mauro Picotto needs no introduction; his name alone sends hordes of adoring fans into ecstasy. Having had an immensely successful DJing and production career with huge international hit records (inc. Lizard, Komodo, Iguana) and headlining some of the world’s biggest events Mauro Picotto was listed in DJ Magazine as one of the Top 40 DJs in the world. In 2004 Mauro founded his own party, Meganite in Ibiza at Privilege, the World’s Biggest Club where Meganite is currently hosting its 5th successful season on the white isle.

Since Mauro Picotto decided to launch his Electronic Music Lifestyle Party at the Miami Winter Music Conference (WMC) in 2002, the event has become a phenomenon, going from strength to strength, hosting nights all over the world and this year returning to Ibiza for its fifth successful year at Privilege, the World’s Biggest Club. Meganite is the full and complete representation of Mauro’s desires. It’s his people with his favourite DJs doing what they want to do, knowing it’s what the crowd wants too. This compilation represents just that, the music that makes Meganite, its DJs and Mauro Picotto so special.
On this album we have a live mix of exclusive cuts culled from Mauro’s superb Alchemy label and a CD of mixes, remixes and new tracks from Mauro’s illustrious career. This is where Mauro is in 2008 and as ever it’s on the cutting edge of electronic wizardry fused with pulsating infectious gyrating badass grooves. Meganite and Megatunes, a perfect harmony.
Mauro Picotto himself is one of those wandering entertainers who jumps on jets, arrives in some city anywhere on earth, plays 8 hours of unique, pulsating electronic grooves, parties and then jumps on another jet. He is the wandering minstrel of the 21st century. His name alone sends hordes of adoring fans into ecstasy. Having had an immensely successful DJing and production career with huge hits and headlining some of the world’s biggest events Mauro Picotto decided that he wanted to mould a whole event both visually and aurally by choosing the venues, the DJs and the production aesthetics. This goal became a reality when in 2004, Meganite found its home in Ibiza at Privilege. Debuting as a midweek party over the 10 busiest weeks, it was an instant success and every year since the night has become ever more legendary with the weekly number of clubbers well over 5,000.
Having seen residents including Adam Beyer, Chris Liebing, Mistress Barbara, John Aquaviva and Marco Carola with Mauro himself supplying the unique vibe of fat bass and throbbing grooves that have characterized his career, the event returns to Ibiza this year for 16 weekly nights over the season, highlighted by Meganite’s 5th birthday which is set to be the event of the summer featuring a “Mega” live show by Italian electronic music giants SUBSONICA, alongside Mauro and special guest Claudio Coccoluto.
CD1, mixed live by Mauro showcases those sounds he has developed, the tracks that all contain the elements that fulfill Mauro’s needs for groove, his need for bass and his need for something different that lifts spirits and vibrates bones. All tracks are exclusive to Mauro’s respected Alchemy label.
If you’ve been to a Meganite this CD will bring back the vibe, if you’ve never had a chance to go it will transport you there and allow you to live the experience with anthems such as the escalating and energy fuelled, Church Of Nonsense, Rizlard and Shark.
CD2, Mauro Picotto Past & Present - 10 years of Classics and Remixes, showcases some of Mauro’s biggest tracks to date, with remixes and edits by Mauro, his team of likeminded studio manipulators and others. Including the original mix of Iguana and a brand new remix of Lizard for 2008, two of the tracks which helped establish Mauro’s early career. Building through Fonzerelli’s remix of last year’s club smash Evribadi and Smith & Selway’s remix of Maybe, Maybe Not. As well as showcasing some of Mauro’s killer new tunes including the beautifully uplifting, The Kite and Contaminato.
Claude Von Stroke – “Church of Nonsense. Are you kidding? S**t is off the hook!”
Dubfire (Deepdish) – “Komonster was massive for me at WMC, thanx Mauro! LOVE Daniele Papini’s tune as well.
Sasha – “Excellent selection!”
Axwell – “Komonster is great.”
Hector Romero – “Komonster! Rocking beats that I’m looking forward to playing!
Funk D’Void – “Devastating motor engine noise that f**ks people up!”
Over the 5 years there have been several Meganite compilations and this season sees this very special version appearing on the BIG IN IBIZA label (with other key artists joining Mauro Picotto including Jonathan Ulysses, Fonzerelli, Tito Puente Jnr and more). 2008 will be yet another milestone in Mauro Picotto’s career and the Meganite parties will be unforgettable!
